Peer reviewedDerby, Stanley K. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
This experiment designed for beginning physics students, is related to postal regulations restricting the size of envelopes. A graph is constructed that allows for testing the mailability of envelopes. (MP)
Descriptors: Graphs, Higher Education, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedToubes, Joe; Hoff, Darrel – Science Teacher, 1974
Describes how to collect micrometeorites and suggests a number of related activities such as determining the number of meteors entering the atmosphere and determining the composition of the micrometeorites. (BR)
Descriptors: Astronomy, Instruction, Instructional Materials, Meteorology
Peer reviewedRugheimer, Mac; Kirkpatrick, Larry D. – American Journal of Physics, 1977
Describes a holographic method of producing a picture of a real lens, objects, and the virtual image of the objects. (SL)
Descriptors: College Science, Higher Education, Holography, Instruction
Peer reviewedBork, Ron – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
An activity is described that is designed to give students a chance to learn about speed by calculating their own running or walking speed and the speed of cars. (MP)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedSchool Science Review, 1978
Presents experiments, demonstrations, activities and ideas relating to various fields of biology to be used in biology courses in secondary schools. Among those experiments presented are demonstrating the early stages of ferns and mosses and simple culture methods for fern prothalli. (HM)
Descriptors: Bibliographies, Biology, Instruction, Instructional Materials
Peer reviewedSchool Science Review, 1977
Provides eight physics experiments, demonstrations, and activities relating to radioactive decay, computers, semiconductors, and electronics. (SL)
Descriptors: Instruction, Physical Sciences, Physics, Science Activities
Peer reviewedJones, Barrie W. – American Journal of Physics, 1978
Describes a computer simulation to elucidate the subject of coherence. The model on which simulation is based links coherence to the correlation of fields. It also describes the model and presents some results. (Author/GA)
Descriptors: College Science, Higher Education, Instruction, Models
Peer reviewedManikopoulos, C. N.; Aquirre, J. F. – American Journal of Physics, 1977
Describes an experiment for determining the blackbody radiation constant hc/k, utilize a conventionally built cavity and a single-beam, single-window Perkin-Elmer 12-C model spectrometer. (SL)
Descriptors: College Science, Higher Education, Instruction, Laboratory Experiments
Peer reviewedWohler, J. R. – American Biology Teacher, 1975
Descriptors: College Science, Ecology, Educational Facilities, Environmental Education
Peer reviewedTubis, Charlotte I. – Science Activities, 1975
Descriptors: Biology, Inquiry, Instruction, Instructional Materials
Peer reviewedWaldenstrom, S.; Naqvi, K. Razi – American Journal of Physics, 1978
Proposes an alternative to the classical minimum-deviation method for determining the refractive index of a prism. This new "fixed angle of incidence method" may find applications in research. (Author/GA)
Descriptors: College Science, Higher Education, Instruction, Laboratory Experiments
Peer reviewedHobbs, E. D.; Hawkins, Bryson – Physics Teacher, 1978
Describes a science activity which allows secondary level students to discover the law of refraction. (SL)
Descriptors: Instruction, Optics, Physics, Science Activities
Peer reviewedSchool Science Review, 1977
Reviews articles and papers published in 1975 relating to chemistry and presents a number of chemistry experiments, demonstrations,and activities. (SL)
Descriptors: Bibliographies, Chemistry, Instruction, Physical Sciences
Peer reviewedFahnline, Donald E. – American Journal of Physics, 1977
Describes demonstrations, some apparently paradoxical, which can be performed with commercially available magnetic stirrers. (SL)
Descriptors: College Science, Demonstrations (Educational), Higher Education, Instruction
Peer reviewedMcKibben, Joseph L. – American Journal of Physics, 1977
Presents a triple pendulum used to demonstrate normal modes. Also discusses the mathematical similarity of the equations of three coupled quantum mechanical levels. (SL)
Descriptors: College Science, Demonstrations (Educational), Higher Education, Instruction
