Ewing, Gordon J. – 1986
This study was designed to help students decide whether or not to register for a general chemistry course. High school grade point averages (GPAs) and American College Testing (ACT) scores were obtained on over 600 students from New Mexico State University and were entered into correlation analysis with chemistry grades. A "Chemistry…

Peer reviewedFrench, A. P. – Physics Teacher, 1993
Discusses Newton's idea of predicting very high temperatures of objects by observing the time needed for the object to cool to some standard reference temperature. This article discusses experimental deviations from this idea and provides explanations for the observed results. (MVL)

Peer reviewedFrancisca, M.; And Others – Physics Education, 1986
Analyzes data presented in a recent article (EJ 328 649) examining the relationship between A-level physics and mathematics and degree performance in engineering or physics. A grade of A in A-level physics predicted first class degree performance. (JM)

Peer reviewedSaayman, Rikus – Physics Education, 1991
Discusses the structure and results of a university physics entry examination that measures students' expertise with mathematical tools and formal logic operations required for the study of college physics. Indicates that the examination adequately serves incoming students: to evaluate academic potential; to emphasize specific deficiencies; and to…

Peer reviewedChessell, Gwen – Medical Teacher, 1986
Reports on a study done at Aberdeen University (England) which assessed the learning styles of first-year medical students. Results indicated that these students scored higher than other students in achievement (including study methods and competitiveness) and prediction for success. Includes the instrument used. (TW)

Peer reviewedSmith, Murray R. – Journal of American Indian Education, 1982
Science is an "approach in process development." Native American students have well-developed processes which can be best utilized by teaching science using activities which capitalize on students' processes. This article discusses processes first, then applies the content in a cultural framework to enhance science for Native American…

Sanchez, Karen; Betkouski, Marianne – 1986
High risk students in college chemistry are often identified by low mathematics SAT scores, low American Chemical Society Toledo scores, and secondary school chemistry grades. This study was designed to identify additional variables that can be used at the community college level as predictors of success in chemistry. The study compared students'…
