Discusses physics teacher competencies and their emphasis in the development of a physics teacher education program in Dortmund, Germany. (CS)

Discusses the Fermilab summer program for minority students, its evolution, selection of student participants, selection of student assignments, living arrangements, salaries, and the impact of the program. (SL)

Describes a physical science workshop for elementary school teachers. Explains the need for and the benefits gained from such workshops where certain topics, experiments and projects are explored. (GA)

Describes a no lecture, laboratory oriented approach to the teaching of the Tech Physics Project. Evaluates success of this approach and identifies alternative formats which have been used in instances in which students needed a more structured mode of presentation. (CP)

Current and post World War II scientific research at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (New Mexico) is discussed. The operation of the laboratory, the Los Alamos consultant program, and continuation education, and continuing education activities at the laboratory are also discussed. (JN)

This article describes an introductory physics laboratory program which teaches three skills: (1) the ability to make estimates and order-of-magnitude calculations, and to use these to check experimental work, (2) the ability to use qualitative and quantitative statistics, and (3) the ability to describe an experiment in one's own words.…

Described is an extracurricular program for high school students in which they visited a college physics laboratory facility and participated in laboratory activities. Discussed are the planning, student experiences, and results. (CW)

Describes a secondary-level physics course set up as a cooperative venture by an independent secondary school and a college. The course (part of the School-College Articulation Program (SCAP) combines content, style, and structure of college courses with surroundings familiar to students. Aims of the SCAP program are also described. (JN)
