Presents experiments, demonstrations, activities and ideas relating to various fields of biology to be used in biology courses in secondary schools. Among those experiments presented are demonstrating the early stages of ferns and mosses and simple culture methods for fern prothalli. (HM)

Analyzes the role of experiments in science teaching, and applies this analysis to the teaching of Millikan's experiment in physics. Critically examines an article written by T. J. Harvey entitled Millikan made easy'' which was previously published in The School Science Review. (JR)

Describes experiments, demonstrations, activities and ideas relating to various fields of chemistry to be used in chemistry courses of secondary schools. Three experiments concerning differential thermal analysis are among these notes presented. (HM)

Presents a teaching unit on the Langmuir absorption isotherm suitable for advanced secondary school chemistry classes. Describes the experimental investigation of the isothermal adsorption of sulfur dioxide on charcoal, and discusses the derivation of the Langmuir equation and some applications. (JR)

Describes the procedure for making a quantitative analysis of organic compounds suitable for secondary school chemistry classes. Using the Schoniger procedure, the organic compound, such as PVC, is decomposed in a conical flask with oxygen. The products are absorbed in a suitable liquid and analyzed by titration. (JR)

Twelve new chemistry expermiments are described. Broad areas covered include atomic structure, solubility, gaseous diffusion, endothermic reactions, alcohols, equilibrium, atomic volumes, and some improvised apparatus. (PS)

Seventeen experiments in physics are described to demonstrate various physical phenomena. These include the areas of velocity of sound, damped oscillations, plastic deformation of wires, materials, testing, air resistance, spectrum optical filtering, and some new improvised apparatus. (PS)

Describes physics experiments and demonstrations on the measurement of electrostatic fields. (SL)

Ten laboratory exercises on optics are described to clarify concepts involving point objects and converging lenses producing real images. Mathematical treatment is kept to a minimum to stress concepts involved. (PS)

Presents experiments, demonstration, activities and ideas relating to various fields of physics to be used in physics courses in secondary schools. The use of a programable pocket calculator in A-level physics courses is among the activities described. (HM)

Discusses some high school physics demonstrations and experiments on a variety of topics: such as uses of the dipole, the vapour-liquid critical point, velocity of sound in metallic rods, the flux-density near a bar magnet, and a different style logic gate using basic units. (GA)

Provides eight physics experiments, demonstrations, and activities relating to radioactive decay, computers, semiconductors, and electronics. (SL)

Some helpful ideas are proposed for use by biology teachers. Topics included are Food Webs,'' Key to Identification of Families,'' Viruses,'' Sieve Tube,'' Woodlice,'' Ecology of Oak Leaf Roller Moth,'' and Model Making.'' (PS)

Reviews articles and papers published in 1975 relating to chemistry and presents a number of chemistry experiments, demonstrations,and activities. (SL)

Proposes that science teaching be based upon experimental work of the students, but most Italian schools are not equipped for this. This implies the development of inexpensive kits and syllabuses which can realistically be used in the schools. Provides one example of a suitable kit for individual experiments on electricity and magnetism. (GS)
