Discusses a student project which is intended to teach undergraduates concepts and techniques of nuclear physics, experimental methods used in particle detection, and provide experience in a functioning research environment. Included are detailed procedures for carrying out the project. (CC)

Presents some examples of using college, university, industrial, and governmental raw data to conduct physics classroom experiments and activities. Indicates that the approach has the advantages of making the student work publishable and of motivating the student to improve the quality of lab reports. (CC)

This program was designed to supplement the New York City tax levy educational program provided for 2128 underachieving socially maladjusted, emotionally disturbed students in grades three through twelve. Most of the students were enrolled in 16 special day schools for the socially maladjusted and emotionally disturbed. The remaining students were…

This bulletin describes a procedure to provide graduate students with meaningful lab experiences, and to integrate the study of a variety of group counseling approaches with actual group leadership opportunities. It allows the beginning group counselor to develop confidence before working with emotionally disturbed clients, and also provides…

The management guidelines are divided into three parts. Part I contains a number of questions which site staff ought to try to answer when establishing or while operating a computer-based education (CBE) site. Each question is followed by a brief commentary. Part II contains suggestions for selection and training the staff of a site. Part III…

This volume contains the prepared papers and discussions of a National Academy of Sciences - National Research Council Symposium on the Future of Animals, Cells, Models, and Systems in Research, Development, Education, and Testing. The purpose of the symposium was to examine the past, present, and future contributions of animals to human health…

This document presents a series of physics experiments which allow students to determine the value of unknown electrical capacitors. The exercises include both parallel and series connected capacitors. (SL)

Alternative methods for facilitating mastery of reading skills must be provided if instruction is to become differentiated and truly individualized. As part of a study to find alternative methods in reading instruction, 45 fourth graders were pretested for mastery of one skill within the Wisconsin Design for Reading Skill Development, and the 44…

Describes an experiment designed to acquaint the chemistry student with polymerization reactions, vacuum techniques, liquid scintillation counting, gas-liquid chromatography, and the handling of radioactive materials. (MLH)

Describes an experiment in which luminescence is observed during a reaction between sodium borohydride and trisbipyridalruthenium (III). Includes a discussion of the theory of chemiluminescence. (MLH)

Suggests replacing traditional organic chemistry laboratory exercises with experiments involving an elementary research approach. The student is provided with short laboratory projects, normally involving simple reactants and products; it is an important criterion that the reactions chosen are not normally featured in student textbooks. (MLH)

Various taped exercises relating to selected chapters of the textbook "Salut" (Diesterweg, Frankfurt) are presented and discussed. The exercises were created because the drills in the textbook seemed too monotonous to the students. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

Describes the use of videotapes to eliminate or shorten in-lab instruction and prevent interruption of a laboratory session with additional or forgotten instruction. Lists equipment needed for videotape programs and for a thirteen unit audio-visual laboratory. (GS)
