Described is a computer program which accepts face data, performs all necessary symmetry operations, and produces a drawing of the resulting crystal. The program shortens computing time to make it suitable for online teaching use or for use in small computers. (Author/DC)

Described is an experiment which may be carried out quickly using tungsten-filament irradiation. Materials, experimental procedures, and results are discussed. Procedures for filtration on silica gel are appended. (CW)

Presented is the course outline and proposed science content for this course. The structure, sessions, and evaluation of the course are discussed. (CW)

Described is a spectroscope which can be easily constructed from a film canister. Instructions for building this equipment are provided. (CW)

Described is a 35mm projector demonstration which combines the advantages a highly magnified view of the sample zone as it undergoes dispersion and the ability to show more than a single-line flow injection analysis manifold. Manufacture and use of the slide for demonstration are discussed. (CW)

The materials needed and the procedures for construction of the apparatus are detailed. Two experiments that use this equipment are suggested. Criteria for operation are listed. (CW)

Background information on the methods and varieties used to demonstrate the cultivation of plants without the use of chemical pesticides is provided. Discussed are species and variety selection, growing plants from seed and from seedlings, soil preparation, using cuttings, useful crops, and pest control. (CW)

This paper reports on the success of a laboratory teaching technique for teaching undergraduate chemistry. Discussed are the premises of the approach, and the use of the computer, the explorations, and the seminar which are included in the course. (CW)

Presented is a unit plan designed to allow students to thoroughly investigate a human body system through a series of learning activities, and to teach the body system to other students using the products of their research. Methods, objectives, and an evaluation of the unit are discussed. (CW)

Described is a spectrometer that can be used simultaneously by seven students to observe a single spectrum emitted by an element or compound in a single light tube against a calibrated screen. Included is a list of materials, directions for assembly, and procedures for use. (CW)

Described is a method of teaching laboratory report writing to undergraduate students. The sections of student lab reports are reviewed and compared with scientific papers. The writing process including drafts and peer review is discussed. Results of the use of this method are provided. (CW)

The materials needed and the procedures used in three microscale chemical laboratory experiments are detailed. Included are a microscale organic synthesis, a two-step synthetic sequence for the microscale organic laboratory, and a small-scale equilibrium experiment. (CW)

Described is a microscale organic chemistry experiment which demonstrates one feasible route in preparing ortho-substituted benzoic acids and provides an example of nucleophilic aromatic substitution chemistry. Experimental procedures and instructor notes for this activity are provided. (CW)

Described is the Western Massachusetts Five College/Public School Partnership which sponsors a range of activities for teachers in the sciences and humanities. The development of this program is discussed. A list of five components of a successful collaboration program is included. (CW)

Contains papers on a process-based assessment scheme for the age range of 9-16, a graded-assessment scheme, individual learning through supported self-study, recording systems for student's learning, and a process-based assessment scheme for a Year-1 science course. (YP)
