Traces the historical developments in physics leading to the present conflict of fundamental beliefs about the nature of the physical world. It has been recently proposed that the concept of fundamental particles (corpuscularianism) be replaced with a full-blown field dynamical theory. (JR)

A guide to book, textbook, project, and game materials which express the idea that man is a single species and lives in a global society is presented. (SM)

Outlines the 5 year, 10 billion dollar energy research and development plan proposed by the newly constituted Energy R Advisory Council of the White House Energy Policy Office. The formulation of a national energy policy is in response to President Nixon's proposed Project Independence. (JR)

Research has progressed from three major directions--biological, chemical, and non-enzymatic. Hopefully all three will converge and will explain not only the process, but also introduce new means for modifying the molecule to meet the nutritional needs of man in areas now incapable of self support without fixed nitrogen. (DF)

Discusses the ethics involved in studying and experimenting with living organisms; suggests that present laws relating to the protection of animals may be in need of revision. (JR)

Discusses the origins of such chemical terms as substance, element, analysis, synthesis, compounds, mixture, organic,'' affinity, oxidation, reduction, acid, base, and salt for the purpose of providing a background to facilitate student's understanding of chemical terminology. (CC)

Discusses research in the use of hormones and viruses to control insect populations. Although entomologists do not think that pheromones, hormones, and viruses will completely replace more conventional chemical insecticides, they will become increasingly important and will reduce our dependence on traditional insecticides. (JR)

Discusses recent trends in heroin addiction in Washington, D.C. In 1969 a comprehensive, multimodal treatment program for addicts was introduced and a major law enforcement commitment was made to reduce the heroin supply.

The metric system will soon be adopted in the United States. Engineering college educators can play a major role in this revision. Various suggestions are listed for teachers, authors and others. (PS)

Reviews various summary results drawn from photoperiodism research on plants and animals. Effects of light quality and length of illumination have profound effects on the physiology of many organisms. (PS)

New objectives in science education will include man and the environment, science and society, and teaching moral values through science. Describes broad generalizations which exist or are implied in current programs as well as those new generalizations which are or will be included in developing programs. (DF)

A major agreement has been reached among many nations to protect wildlife which are nearing extinction. (PS)
