Describes new approach to use of audio-motor unit as listening comprehension strategy composed of a series of oral commands which elicit physical responses. Proposes using these units in language lab in order to conserve time and have an objective means of evaluating units. (Author/BK)

Presents background information, materials, calculations, and laboratory procedures for a physical chemistry experiment focused on the thermodynamics of a galvanic cell. (JN)

Presents background information, safety notes, and laboratory procedures for synthesizing dinitrogen and dihydrogen complexes of molybdenum. The one-step method described is suitable for advanced inorganic chemistry classes. (SK)

Describes the collection and culturing of microscopic molds that feed mainly on tiny nematodes in the soil. Includes bibliography. (MA)

Gives an account of the meetings, topics presented, and discussion groups that took place during Oxford International Conference on the Role of the Laboratory in Physics Education, held in England in 1978. (GA)

The first of a two-part series on Migrant Education in New Jersey focuses on a mobile lab designed to orient migrant students to a new range of potential employment opportunities. Purchased with a federal grant, the $120,000 trailer contains $70,000 worth of sophisticated electronic and mechanical teaching devices. (KC)

Instructions are given for ten learning activities designed to help third graders with telling time and with understanding the concepts of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, seasons, and years. (SJL)

Summarizes workshop notes on the use of a variety of test dipsticks to determine qualitative and quantitative aspects for several common food items. Discusses availability, tests, and uses for these dipsticks: Merckoquant, Clinistix, and Multimix. (CS)

Describes the procedures for construction of a nitrate coated-wire ion selective electrode and suggests experiments for evaluation of electrode response and illustration of typical analytical applications of ion selective electrodes. (CS)

Describes an individualized system for teaching both typing and shorthand to nontraditional students. Describes the program's organization, including the use of audiovisual materials and a secretarial science laboratory. Students can learn at their own rates, consult with an instructor whenever necessary, and compete only with themselves. (CT)

Outlines a classification scheme designed for language tapes and based on a review of other systems. The catalogue is recorded on a card index, in booklet form, and in a computer. A sample catalogue card is included and a description is given of the process used to set up the cards. (Author/AMH)

Educational specifications for a Columbus, Ohio, high school were realized in the designs for a library learning center, a performing arts center, and a system of ramps to handle the major circulation around the academic areas of the building. (MLF)

Listed are chemicals commonly used in the science classroom, including restrictions for classroom use. Based on recommendations of the Association for Science Education. Seven categories of restrictions are imposed, and each chemical listed has one or more restriction. When appropriate, an alternative chemical is suggested. (DS)

Presents rationale and guidelines for development of Safety Standard Operating Procedures (Safety SOP) specific for local conditions. Includes an outline of a Safety SOP developed for a department primarily focused on undergraduate education with a wide variety of expertise from common laborer to PhD with 20 years experience.
