Peer reviewedGalindez, Peter; And Others – Science Activities, 1974
Directions for constructing a hand glider out of free or inexpensive materials are combined with measurements, tests and recordings of its flight done in metric units. (BR)
Descriptors: Educational Experiments, General Science, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Experiments
Peer reviewedGottlieb, Herbert H., Ed. – Physics Teacher, 1978
Reports on apparatus for generating Lissajous figures, projecting Poisson's spots, photographing diffraction patterns, electric heating, and projecting moving longitudinal waves on an oscilloscope. (SL)

Peer reviewedBrush, Sabitra S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Describes an experiment that provides a study of the different colors and shapes of crystals of transition metal dimethylglyoxime complexes with the use of a low power microscope. Discusses the preparation and examination of the crystals. (CW)

Peer reviewedFigueira, Alvaro Rocha; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Examines the thermal decomposition of sodium bicarbonate to sodium carbonate. Encourages students to predict the end products and to use the stoichiometric results to determine if their predictions are correct. (MVL)
Descriptors: Chemical Analysis, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science
Peer reviewedKeiser, Jeffrey E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Proposes that the psychological problem of students expecting a particular result in an organic chemistry laboratory and, therefore, working in an unthinking manner be attacked by assigning experiments that give students unexpected results. Gives four examples of such experiments with strategies for teaching them. (CW)
Descriptors: Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science, Creative Thinking
Peer reviewedLevine, Samuel G.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Describes an experiment that is to be performed midway in the first semester of an undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory coinciding with the students' introduction to cis-trans isomerism in the study of alkenes. Discusses the apparatus, materials, experimental procedure, historical significance, and results. (CW)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Chromatography, College Science, Educational Experiments
Peer reviewedLiebermann, John, Jr. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Explores the selection, source, funding, time constraints, and community support involved in developing carefully planned and executed science projects. Lists 21 kinetics experiments noting the instrumentation needed and the original references. (MVL)
Descriptors: Chemical Equilibrium, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, Educational Experiments
Peer reviewedKilner, Cary – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Discusses the development of concentration and organizational skills, patience, self-discipline, attention to detail, and appreciation for error analysis through an expanded titration project. Describes the various activities in the extended project and the materials and instructional support needed. Stresses the advantage to students in their…
