Presents seven selected biology notes which could be used in the school biology courses. Each includes the name of the author and a description of activities suggested. (HM)

The learning stations described in this article prepare older elementary students to tutor younger ones. Skill and presentation practice are combined to help tutors learn to develop materials and lessons and to serve as good models. For a companion article by Fairleigh, see pages 46-48 of this issue.

Describes a laboratory demonstration in chemical equilibrium using ferric chloride and ammonium thiocyanate that would serve as a useful basis for an inquiry investigation. (BT)

Describes a programed, independent study, college level, general chemistry course designed to develop good technical laboratory skills with no attempt made to relate laboratory experiments and classroom topics. A list of experiments used and a sample laboratory examination are included. (BT)

Described is a base-friction modeling technique for studying the development of collapse structures in jointed rocks. A moving belt beneath weak material is designed to simulate gravity. A description is given of the model frame construction. (Author/SA)

Discusses various aspects of in-service training and the design of self-instruction material. Special reference is given to materials for application in various places but developed at a central location. Results are given of the use of experimental materials in medical laboratories in The Gambia. (Author/SA)

An experiment for senior college undergraduate physics students is described. Amorphous tungsten trioxide films are suggested for use since they have a unique electrochromic system. (Author/SA)

The mathematics learning center at Tacoma Community College aims to provide an effective method of reaching a diversity of student needs using three programs: independent-tutorial study, student tutorial, and a basic arithmetic skills laboratory.
