Describes a remedial physics laboratory course for students operating at the concrete Piagetian level of cognitive development. (SL)

Reviews traditional lecture courses in biology and chemistry which included daily quizzes which were repeatable. (SL)

Describes a short course on the history of chemistry taught at the graduate level with topics including apparatus and techniques. (SL)

Describes a self-paced, mastery-oriented introductory physics course offered at Cornell University which incorporates aspects of audio-tutorial instruction and the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI). (SL)

Describes a one-semester general anthropology course designed primarily for interested juniors and seniors as well as six courses which have students "do" anthropology in a way that serves to teach them the field and "interests the kid," e.g. courses in cultural anthropology, archaeology, physical anthropology and school ethnography. (Author/JM)

Examines various issues related to the establishment of a core of physics studies at 16+ and 18+. Indicates that a core physics syllabus should be concerned with phenomena, theory, models, and applications and not with such topics as the use of a U tube manometer. (JN)

A senior-level, elective course on synthetic fuels was developed for chemistry and chemical engineering majors. The topics covered in this course, instructional strategies used, and independent student projects are described. (JN)

Describes a one-semester biochemistry course designed for students who have completed courses in biology, CHEMStudy chemistry, and physical science. Course goals include presenting biochemical concepts (in preparation for college courses), challenging students considering science-related careers, and serving as a springboard for science fairs. (JN)

Presented is the second of a two-part article describing the introductory undergraduate physics course taught at the University of Liverpool, England. This part of the article concentrates upon the laboratory aspect of the course. (SL)

Discusses an undergraduate course which includes lectures, laboratory, and field trips and is designed for the interim winter semester. The course is interdisciplinary, involving a study of the biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiological significance of compounds from marine flora and fauna. (MLH)

Describes the science program offered at Forest View High School, Arlington Heights, Illinois. A wide variety of science courses have been included in the program in response to a survey of student opinion regarding the science topics that they wished to study. (JR)

Describes the structure and content of a multidisciplinary environmental science course for non-science majors offered at Southern Illinois University. (JR)

Describes the methods used in a general-biology course at the College of Mount Saint Vincent and Manhattan College (Riverdale, New York) in which a problem solving approach is used in conjunction with the audiotutorial method of instruction. (JR)

The syllabus for a refresher course on the physiology and biochemistry of receptors (presented at the 1983 American Physiological Society meeting) is provided. Topics considered include receptor regulation, structural/functional aspects of receptors for insulin and insulin-like growth factors, calcium channel inhibitors, and role of lipoprotein…

Discusses content, laboratory work, and field studies of a senior-level course in paleopedology (study of fossil soils). The course explores interpretation of ancient terrestrial environments from fossil soils and the study of the fossil record of such soils as an additional approach to earth history. (JN)
