Discusses a proposed information service designed to provide British science teachers with an easy access to relevant literature, films, examinations, apparatus, and other science teaching resource materials. (JR)

Describes how the audiotutorial method of instruction can be used to simulate field trips in earth science. Each excursion takes the student, via slides, audiotapes, specimens and maps, to various parts of the world to observe and investigate phenomena associated with a particular aspect of earth science. (JR)

Discusses the advantages and benefits of the audio-tutorial method of instruction in science, examines the kinds of secondary science programs that can be developed and the necessary equipment, and suggests the steps that should be followed in developing an audio-tutorial program. (JR)

Discusses application of group theory to the teaching of selection rules in electronic and vibrational spectroscopy. Indicates that acquaintance with such a mathematical concept is essential for high school students to understand molecular spectrum courses. (CC)

Describes a number of activities and experiments designed to add interest and increase understanding in the secondary school physics laboratory. (JR)

The first part of a two-part article describes an experimental approach that can be used in teaching the concept of saturated vapour pressure. This leads to a discussion of refrigeration cycles in the second part of the article. (JR)

Describes an elementary school science activity in which students conduct experiments to verify their hypotheses relating to the effect of salt and other chemicals on the melting point on ice. (JR)

Science curriculum materials designed to improve the attitudes of below average students were developed from guidelines based on a survey of the strengths and weaknesses of these students. (Author)

Summarizes the structures, shapes, linkages, chain lengths, and physical and chemical properties of polymers, copolymers, and proteins with a background of knowledge of monomer units. (CC)
