Curriculum outlines are provided for teaching a two semester organic chemistry course based on scientific principles. Performance objectives for each unit can be developed and an example is described in this article. An attempt is made in this outline to interrelate organic chemistry with other areas of chemistry. (PS)

To communicate the relevance and excitement of science activity to students, the use of more imaginative, and even openly speculative, case studies in physics courses is suggested. Some useful examples are Magnetic Monopoles, Constants, Black Holes, Antimatter, Zero Mass Particles, Tachyons, and the Bootstrap Hypothesis. (DF)

Recommends that a special course in educational data processing be offered by university departments of education. A course description for this teacher training program, suggested textbooks, and class projects are included. (MK)
