The background ideas and practical implementation that led to the use of a computer terminal in a physical chemistry laboratory are described. Outlines of two of the lab experiments being used in the program are included. (DT)

A two-quarter introductory course in geophysics at the advanced undergraduate/beginning graduate level is described. An outline of course content is provided, and mechanics of instruction are discussed. (DT)

Describes a course designed to improve preparation of elementary school teachers to teach physical science and secondary teachers to teach physics. Discusses course content and techniques used to encourage development of skills and attitudes necessary for teaching the inquiry oriented curricula. (Author/SLH)

Describes a course designed to acquaint students with making a search of chemical literature. The course presents various classes of chemical publication and the methods of using Beilstein and Chemical Abstracts. A follow-up project involves each student in a search for references for one or two organic compounds. (GS)

Provides a listing of the eight major topics which comprise the syllabus of an O-level course in environmental science. (CP)

A geochemistry course for chemists is described. Includes: (1) general course information; (2) subject matter covered; and (3) a consideration of the uses of geochemistry in a chemistry curriculum, including geochemical "real world" examples, geochemistry in general chemistry, and geochemistry as an elective. (JN)

Discusses the results of a physics minicourse program for college students; describes how to initiate such a program, including choice of topics, publicizing the courses, and course contents. (MLH)

Described is an undergraduate biology seminar in which the students, perform as laboratory assistants for an introductory biology course, attend group discussions, and work on special projects. Described in detail is a student-developed photosynthesis game which was tested by the seminar students in local secondary schools. (SL)

The ability to work with different professions in a project-oriented setting is critical to today's engineering education. InterProfession (IPRO) projects, a three-credit course at the Illinois Institute of Technology, are integrated into the curriculum. Through these industry-sponsored projects, students will deal with real world engineering…

Describes the syllabus and structure of the final examination for a new course in Social Biology to be offered at A' level in Britain. The syllabus consists of three sections dealing with the study of mankind, social behavior, and human ecology. (JR)

Describes chemistry course that uses a review of the chemical literature as a basic part of the course. (PS)

A preliminary report is given on work in progress on a science in society course at Rutgers. The course is designed to relate physics to human affairs. The role of the physics teacher in this approach is discussed. (DF)
