A rationale for using mathematical games as an instructional procedure to introduce and practice skills is discussed; two mathematical games for classroom use are briefly described. (DT)

Describes the experimental procedures for isolating fungi and demonstrating their tolerance of fungicides such as creosote and organic mercury. (JR)

Geographic skills are defined, developed, and categorized in the setting of an introductory physical geography college course and examples are given of the activities used in the laboratory to foster decision making and problem solving. Some comment is also made on the teaching styles which appear appropriate to foster such skill development.…

Presents theoretical fundamentals of the experiment on the multiple reflection of helium-neon laser beams from a black-surfaced mirror. Further applications to student projects are indicated. (CC)

Discusses teaching of two project experiments to nonscience students who were asked to measure the acceleration of a system any way they could and investigate any phenomena that they thought might follow a Poisson distribution. Indicates that physics learning performed outside the physics building is the experiment highlight. (CC)

On the basis of the parameters measured in this study, students completing a curriculum in medical technology with a shortened clinical laboratory phase plus structured courses in basic clinical science performed as well in an employment situation as students completing a curriculum with a full year of clinical laboratory experience. (Author)

Four steps in planning an industrial laboratory (hire an educational planner, prepare a community analysis, analyze curriculum and develop educational specifications) ensure a functional, pleasing learning atmosphere at no extra cost. Basic planning factors, recent design innovations, six detailed floor plans, and considerations for achieving…

Describes the construction and operation of an automatic insect dispenser suitable for feeding small vertebrates that are being maintained for behavioral experiments. The food morsels are squirted from their chambers an an air jet, and may be directed at a particluar portion of the cage or distributed to different areas. (JR)

Discusses the philosophy and operation of a self-instructional laboratory at MIT which utilizes visual materials reinforced by audio tapes and is designed to give the student a taste of how to collect, display, and interpret data. Indicates that the approach results in the flexibility needed to serve self-paced courses. (CC)
