Peer reviewedDavies, Arthur; And Others – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1996
Describes a project that involves determining, by coulometry, the energy output of different types and makes of 1.5-volt AA cells as a function of EMF and time. Involves measuring the volume of hydrogen gas collected at the cathode from the reduction of hydrogen ions in aqueous sulfuric acid by a current produced by the discharge of an AA battery.…

Peer reviewedLucas, Keith B. – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1974
Presented is the development of elementary school science in Australia, beginning in 1900 and including changes produced by the impact of American and British science curriculum reforms as these manifested themselves in the 1960-1970 period. (PEB)

Peer reviewedRussell, N. A. – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1972
Discusses briefly some features of the Australian Science Education Project, ASEP, and experiences of teachers and students with these materials. Implications of this program are identified in terms of cost, time, classroom management, teacher education, and evaluation. (PS)

Peer reviewedCarss, Brian W.; Clarke, John A. – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1972
Preliminary evaluation report describes two distinct portions of the unit Pushes and Pulls'' in Australian Science Education Project materials. The first portion of the unit is highly structured and the second completely devoid of structure. A detailed description of content analysis technique used is included. (PS)

Peer reviewedMackay, Lindsay D. – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1972
Students' preferences changed from applied to theoretical aspects of physics, and from recall of facts to identification of fundamental principles during two years of study of the Physical Science Study Committee in Australian High Schools. (AL)

Peer reviewedGoodrum, Denis – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1974
Continuing the emphasis of this issue on elementary school science, this article presents information on the Minnesota Mathematics and Science Teaching (Minnemast) Project, the Conceptually Oriented Program in Elementary Science (COPES), and the Science 5/13 Project (which evolved from the Nuffield Junior Science Project). (PEB)

Peer reviewedGardner, P. L. – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1974
Continues the work done by Mackay (1971) and Gardner (1973) in which attitudes of students enrolled in PSSC physics were assessed. (PEB)

Peer reviewedLewis, Ramon – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1975
Describes studies by L. D. Mackay and P. L. Gardner that were designed to teach attitudinal objectives in the Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) course. Differences in results are attributed to the effect of socio-economic level, passage of time and reduced teacher enthusiasm, factors extraneous to PSSC, and a slightly different sample. (GS)
