Presents ideas for equipment protection, equipment storage, apparatus construction, demonstration techniques, and laboratory procedures. (GS)

Briefly defines the legal aspects of safety. Presents prominent safety hazards and procedures that should be followed when dealing with electricity, radioactive materials, lasers, poisons, and vacuum apparatus. (GS)

A questionnaire was mailed to 50 major chemistry departments, 112 smaller chemistry departments, and 25 chemical engineering (CE) departments. The survey (included in an appendix) consists of a series of questions on two broad subjects--the current inventory at the surveyed institutions and the needs for instrumentation. Responses were received…

Briefly describes a number of laboratory and instructional materials that are commerically available and of interest to engineering educators. (JR)

Describes the construction and use of a rotating-room apparatus. The device has a 48-inch diameter platform, seats four at a table, and rotates at four possible speeds. It is easily transported and erected without special arrangements. (Author/MLH)

Describes an apparatus suitable for measuring magnetic susceptibility in the undergraduate laboratory. Several applications are considered in detail, and extension of the technique to nonmagnetic studies is briefly discussed. (Author)

Describes construction and use of a simple auxanometer which students can use to accurately measure root growth rates of intact seedlings. Typical time course data are presented for the effect of ethylene and indole acetic acid on pea root growth. (Author/BR)

Describes a technique for the projection of triple point demonstrations using apparatus constructed out of Lucite and an overhead projector. (GS)

Includes a syllabus for lecture and laboratory in a course emphasizing principles of operation rather than trouble shooting. (GH)

Describes a survey of experiments including a stringed instrument experiment and discusses other instructional uses of cartridges. Includes information on the characteristics of cartridges. (GH)
