A four semester examination of the 15 most heavily enrolled baccalaureate courses at Oakton Community College (Illinois) for fall, 1975 through spring, 1977, revealed consistently heavy enrollments in the social sciences and general education core courses in communications. Science and math enrollments accounted for less than 15% of the total each…

This teacher's guide to a second-grade earth science unit provides a range of activities, suggestions for classroom discussion, and open-ended questions suitable for each of the concepts developed. One of the central purposes of the unit is to develop independence and self confidence by encouraging the student to think through a problem clearly.…

This paper is a summary of a much longer evaluation report. It contains a discussion of a number of issues in curriculum development and implementation. Eight NSF-supported summer implementation projects focusing on the two programs, Engineering Concepts Curriculum Project, the Man-Made World (TMMW) and Technology People-Environment (TPE) were…

This teacher's guide has been constructed to enable the teacher of science in elementary schools to turn the classroom into a science laboratory. The teacher becomes an observer and a guide when using this curriculum. The Science Curriculum Improvement Study (SCIS) Conceptual Framework and the Program Overview in this guide show how a unit of…

The Alaska Educational Program for Intercultural Communication (AEPIC) brought together teachers to share their practical methods of incorporating community-oriented, multicultural components into their daily teaching schedule. Designed as regional in nature to allow for a sharper focus on the area's Athabascan culture, the workshop was attended…

A program involving two experimental fifth-grade groups, one of 15 boys, the other of 15 girls, used specifically developed instructional materials to capitalize on the different interests and characteristics of boys and girls and to determine the effect of sexual segregation on their achievement in language arts and science. A third experimental,…

This compilation of resource units concerns the latest developments in space biology. Some of the topics included are oxygen consumption, temperature, radiation, rhythms, weightlessness, acceleration and vibration stress, toxicity, and sensory and perceptual problems. Many of the topics are interdisciplinary and relate biology, physiology,…

A time-sharing FORTRAN program is described. It was created to allow a student to design and perform classical thermodynamic experiments on three models of a working substance. One goal was to develop a simulation which gave the student maximum freedom and responsibility in the design of the experiment and provided only the primary experimental…
