The purpose of this study was to document the iterative development of a design-based science curriculum called Learning Science by Designing Artifacts (LSDA). The study refers to the enactment of the Safer Cell Phones curriculum in a high school located in the Midwest. The curriculum was a 5- or 9-week unit in an 18-week science elective course.…

Discusses a teaching method using investigational skills for Nuffield A-level Physics including assessment technique, change of the assessment criteria, advice for choosing the topic, and future development. (YP)

The content, instructional methods, and exams, as well as justification for the adoption of the science program, are presented. (CP)

Presents a bibliography for those interested in finding out about the Australian Science Education Project (ASEP), views held about ASEP, and research concerning ASEP. (MLH)

Article describes some efficient uses of A.S.E.P materials with students and how to organize books and booklets for student use, distribution of materials, homework, bookkeeping and equipment storage. (BR)

Schematically depicts the variety of uses the mole concept has for 0-level chemistry. (CP)

Australian science educators discuss the contributions made to science teaching by the Australian Science Education Project (ASEP) in the first three years of its use. (MLH)

Extends the modeling system presented in Part I. This model is applied to two widely diverse educational processes: "Student Actions" and "Do Homework Problem." Its computational syntax imposes completeness criteria on the modeling and its uniformity. (AIM)

Lists changes which have been made in the program and explains the philosophy upon which the alterations were based. (CP)

Describes a survey in which one thousand British undergraduates who had studied one or more Nuffield A-Level single sciences were identified; both they and their teachers were asked about the influence of this experience on their university performance. The survey revealed definite approval for the Nuffield schemes. (MLH)

Provides a refinement to the Harvard Project Physics Course handbook exercise "Stepwise Approximation to an Orbit." (CP)

Describes the formation and objectives of the Nuffield Science Teaching Project, and presents results of a study in which 1,723 British secondary schools were surveyed to determine if they use Nuffield science curricula. (MLH)

Reports on the efforts of two groups involved in the formulation of science curriculum for the Least Academically Motivated Pupils (LAMP) in the secondary school. (CP)

This issue is divided into three sections: (1) Activities in Britain; (2) Publications; and (3) Overseas and International Activities. Numerous topics of interest to secondary school science and mathematics educators pertaining to British education are presented. Included are reports on science education meetings, mathematics tests, science…

Some course and curriculum improvement projects funded by the National Science Foundation have produced definitive editions of textbooks, other printed materials, and instructional films. This bulletin lists materials available in 1968 through commercial or college and university sources. The publications include textbooks, laboratory guides,…
