Presents a method of teaching advanced physics laboratories which simulates research conditions and requires students to make researchlike decisions. (SL)

Describes a remedial physics laboratory course for students operating at the concrete Piagetian level of cognitive development. (SL)

Describes a one semester physics laboratory course which requires students to play roles of scientists, researchers, and technicians. (SL)

Describes an introductory individualized physics laboratory system for science and engineering students. (SL)

A three-year general physics program which uses a single text from which a sequence of one-year courses have been constructed is described. It is organized on a modified spiral approach and requires laboratory work culminating in an experimental project during the sixth semester. Discussion includes implementation and administration of the…

Describes the use of an interactive computer terminal for introductory laboratory experiments. (SL)

Describes a one-year program in which students are given lectures on instrumentation topics, acquire experience participating in campus and community laboratories, and complete individual projects to receive the master's degree. Indicates a high ability of attacking laboratory problems in students' achievement. (CC)
