This unit in the series prepared by the Australian Science Education Project is intended for students capable of abstract reasoning and as an introduction to other high level units in the series. The core activities suggest a number of activities that should lead students to recognize that a system is something that transforms an input into an…

Compares a self-paced laboratory to a conventional laboratory; the students in the self-paced group achieved significantly higher grades and were enthusiastic about the format. (MLH)

An activity in which students combine physical and mathematical principles in a measurement situation is described. (SD)

Construction of colorful braided polyhedra can provide upper elementary students with enjoyable geometric experiences. (SD)

Six short papers are presented on analytical chemistry in an integrated laboratory sequence, analytical chemistry at a junior college, the sophomore level analytical laboratory, the analytical textbook situation, and graduate level analytical chemistry. (BB)

A discussion is presented on the role of secondary teachers in public schools, followed by a sequence for teaching oxidation-reduction in secondary school chemistry courses. (BB)

A gas pressure gauge has been constructed for use in a student experiment involving the law of atmospheres. From pressure data obtained at selected elevations the average mass of air molecules is determined and compared to that calculated from the molecular weights and percentages of constituents to the air. (Author/BB)

Eleven papers are reported on which discuss teaching techniques related to the teaching of chemistry of the high school and college levels. (BB)
