This paper describes the construction and use of a simple salinometer. The salinometer is composed, mainly, of a milliammeter and a battery and uses the measurement of current flow to determine the salinity of water. A complete list of materials is given, as are details of construction and operation of the equipment. The use of the salinometer in…

This issue of the newsletter discusses, in much detail, physics equipment useful for the construction of logic units; and alerts science teachers to the fact that ammonia can be made to burn in air. (PEB)

Provided are 45 experiments in chemistry which have been used successfully by students in secondary school chemistry classrooms. Additional investigations directed at further inquiry on the part of the student are included. The experiments are directed at the development of science process skills and many of the concepts and generalizations which…

Design features are described for a science building for a large boys' school in Oxford, England. General considerations of the project are discussed; and specific information is provided for each subject department (general science, biology, chemistry, and physics) and for preparation and storage facilities, a central workshop, and a library.…

This bulletin of the Scottish Schools Science Equipment Research Centre provides information to teachers on a variety of topics relating to the use of equipment in science instruction. An editorial opinion argues that science curricula developed in England should not be adopted unchanged in overseas countries (such as Iran), but should be…
