Guidelines for the development of secondary school science programs and facilities which will aid in the review of existing and proposed programs and in adapting classroom instruction to the needs of individual pupils. Science facilities are emphasized including space requirements, classrooms, laboratories, utilities, furniture, and audiovisual…

This is one of several short-term courses developed to assist in the training of waste water treatment plant operational personnel in the tests, measurements, and report preparation required for compliance with their NPDES Permits. The Student Reference Manual provides step-by-step procedures for laboratory application of equipment operating…

Information is provided for projects on metric education involving the use of motor vehicles or vans as mobile laboratories or demonstration units. Included are various types and functions of mobile education facilities in common use in recent years in both mathematics and non-mathematics areas, with descriptions of several current metric mobile…

This book is designed to test the feasibility of a consumers' information exchange for the users and purchasers of laboratory and other instructional equipment in undergraduate science education. Through the use of this guide it may be possible for the prospective purchaser to learn of and contact faculty at other colleges and universities who are…

The purpose of this guidebook is to present instructions for constructing low-cost instruments for environmental studies. The instruments discussed were either adopted or designed by students who were presented with the problem of producing low-cost environmental monitoring equipment. This book is a sequel to A Curriculum Activities Guide to Water…

This report lists all the language laboratories in West Germany as of 1969. The entries, arranged alphabetically by city, include the type of school, its name and address, the kind of laboratory, its manufacturer, and date of installation. Supplementary charts give a breakdown of the number of laboratories by state, type of school, and…

This bulletin of the Scottish Schools Science Equipment Research Centre provides information to teachers regarding the use of newly produced equipment such as an economical soldering iron, nickel cadmium cell, and a desk calculator. Useful information is also included for teachers on the use of electric coils and bicarbonate indicators. A detailed…

An instrument which affords blind students opportunities for direct observation, experimentation, and discovery is described. Accompanying the light sensor is a manual containing 25 experiments. (EB)

Describes a cooperative research and construction project suitable for undergraduate physics students. Steps involved in the development of a device to demonstrate the distribution of molecular velocities in gases are detailed. (CP)

Provides an account of the way in which one small university has coped with limited funds and a small staff to provide laboratory activities for freshman physics courses. (CP)

The electrode is a lead dioxide-silver plated wire. Construction of the electrode is simple, straightforward, and provides valuable laboratory experience. (Author/BB)

Describes the apparatus used and the experiments performed by a blind student in a freshman analytical chemistry course. (GA)

Reports the recommendations of the annual American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS) meeting at the University of Georgia. Suggests that biologists should become more involved in land use planning and resource allocation in the Southeast. Presents a seven-step process for land-use decision-making. (MA)

This manometer is a modification of a design reported previously. It contains simplifications in the design of the manometer itself and in the associated electrical circuit. The apparatus is useful in the study of gas-phase reaction kinetics. (BB)
