This publication is a handbook used in conjunction with the course of study in chemistry developed through the New York State Education Department and The University of the State of New York. It contains experiments, demonstrations, and other activities for a chemistry course. Areas covered include the science of chemistry, the atomic structure of…

In this volume of a review, science books and films are evaluated. All instructional materials reviewed are coded to indicate the grade levels for which they are appropriate, and the level of recommendation--from "two stars" to "not recommended." Bibliographic and ordering information are provided for each book and film, as is a signed review. A…

Outlined in this publication is a basic laboratory exercise which characterizes tubular secretion, using an isolated renal tubule preparation from teleost fish. Background information is given showing how these tubules of teleost fish, particularly marine teleosts, correspond to the proximal tubule of mammalian kidney. Materials needed, including…

This environmental education program emphasizes the cause and effect of change in an estuary ecosystem with special attention given to man and his role in environmental change. Concepts are employed from the natural and social sciences to investigate environmental problems. The units are designed around these questions: (1) What is an ecosystem?;…

This environmental education program emphasizes the cause and effect of change in a freshwater marsh ecosystem with special attention given to man and his role in environmental change. Concepts are employed from the natural and social sciences to investigate environmental problems. Unit activities are inquiry oriented and answer these questions:…

The project which resulted in this report was a study of decision making in the selection of science library materials in college and university libraries. Questionnaires, interviews and objective collection descriptions were used to collect information in the fields of chemistry, physics and biology. Part I is an analytic description of the…

The idea that there was a need for formal study of the methods by which titles are selected for addition to the collections of academic science libraries resulted in this investigation of the selection processes of these libraries. Specifically, the study concentrates on the selection procedures in three sciences: biology, chemistry, and physics.…
