Short articles describe techniques for stroboscopic photography of moving objects, mechanical and electronic demonstrations of beats at radio frequencies, simple apparatus for the determination of the specific heat of steam, and the measurement of electrostatic potential by a flame probe. (AL)

Short articles on the kinetics of the hydrogen peroxide-iodide ion reaction, simulation of fluidization catalysis, the use of Newman projection diagrams to represent steric relationships in organic chemistry, the use of synthetic substrates for proteolytic enzyme reactions, and two simple clock reactions"--hydrolysis of halogenoalkanes and…

Short articles describing the construction of a self-testing device for learning ionic formulae, problems with standard'' experiments in crystallizing sulfur, preparative details for a cold-setting adhesive and vermillion dye, and providing data related to the industrial manufacture of sulphuric acid. (AL)

Short articles describe a method of introducing the study of simple harmonic motion, and suggest models that are analogues for impedence matching, electrical transformers, and birefringent crystals. (AL)

Discusses a strategy for presenting science concepts via activities which include personal, self-sensitizing frames of reference for students. Examples include force and temperature measurement. (JM)

Short articles describe the demonstration of Brownian motion in a bubble included in a quartz crystal, an inexpensive technique for investigating conservation of momentum, a method of teaching vector addition, and ideas for inexpensive substitutes for heavy masses and for additional laboratory bench space. (AL)

A discussion of linear collisions between two or three objects is related to a junior-level course in analytical mechanics. The theoretical discussion uses a geometrical approach that treats elastic and inelastic collisions from a unified point of view. Experiments with a linear air track are described. (Author/TS)
