The goal of this study was to provide information and ideas that would contribute to the improvement of elementary school science facilities. Specific purposes were to (1) examine existing facilities in a group of selected schools, (2) arrange data so that others might use it to evaluate their facilities, (3) prepare a guide that could be used in…

This is the third edition of a manual developed for students participating in the oceanology program offered on the Orange County's Marine Science Floating Laboratory. The program is experience-centered and provides for the students utilizing much of the same equipment used by professional oceanologists. The manual is divided into two sections:…

Equipment needed for teaching the New South Wales (Australia) Natural Science course in grades 3-6 is listed. A general list needed for all grades is supplemented by lists of materials needed specifically for each grade. Whenever possible materials available from students' homes are listed, and many examples of improvised equipment are given.…

Included is a list of laboratory instruments and equipment and the names and addresses of their manufacturers. Names of instruments appear in alphabetical order in heavy black type and the names of manufacturers of each instrument appear below each instrument entry in ordinary type. Each instrument is identified by a "category number." Unnumbered…

Detailed instructions for the construction of apparatus to detect qualitatively the production of carbon dioxide by respiring organisms are given, with notes on its use and comments on its advantages compared with traditional equipment. The chemistry section of the bulletin contains the results of tests of the efficiency of several laboratory…
