Peer reviewedWard, Alan – Science Activities, 1973
Descriptors: Experiments, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Procedures, Light
Peer reviewedHastings, R. B. – Science Activities, 1974
Describes two experiments in physics, using the same inexpensive apparatus, that may be performed as projects by high ability secondary science students. (JR)
Descriptors: Laboratory Experiments, Laboratory Procedures, Physical Sciences, Physics
Peer reviewedDawson, Paul Dow – Science Activities, 1974
Describes the laboratory procedures for the measurement of thermal expansion and viscosity of liquids. These experiments require inexpensive equipment and are suitable for secondary school physical science classes. (JR)
Descriptors: Grade 8, Grade 9, Laboratory Experiments, Laboratory Procedures
Peer reviewedPark, John C.; Carter, Glenda S. – Science Activities, 1988
Introduces three demonstrations using rubber balloons: rate of reaction, air pressure, and solubility of gases in liquids. Provides the materials, procedure, questions, further investigation, and discussion in each demonstration. (YP)
Descriptors: Laboratory Experiments, Laboratory Procedures, Physical Sciences, Science Activities
Peer reviewedKrockover, Gerald – Science Activities, 1973
Through the use of discrepant events, children can be challenged at a variety of levels to become successful investigators. (PS)
Descriptors: Inquiry, Instruction, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Experiments
Peer reviewedWard, Alan – Science Activities, 1972
Descriptors: Design, Elementary School Science, Physical Sciences, Resource Materials
Peer reviewedRecords, Roger M. – Science Activities, 1973
Describes a number of experiments which give the student an opportunity to observe the effects of the electrical nature of matter without trying to explain why a given phenomenon is occurring. These experiments should be introduced before discussing the structure of atoms, and provide practical experience for later theoretical discussions. (JR)
Descriptors: Electricity, Instruction, Laboratories, Physical Sciences
Peer reviewedVannan, Donald A. – Science Activities, 1973
Applications of wheels are shown to be an invaluable tool in teaching the processes and technology of science. (DF)
Descriptors: Instruction, Instructional Materials, Physical Sciences, Physics

Peer reviewedMoore, Robert C. – Science Activities, 1973
Descriptors: Demonstrations (Educational), Laboratory Experiments, Physical Sciences, Resource Materials
Peer reviewedWard, Alan – Science Activities, 1983
Several activities related to color are discussed. These include placing different colors on a disk which, while spinning, appears to be white. Also discusses complementary and primary colors. (JN)
Descriptors: College Science, Color, Higher Education, Optics
Peer reviewedAtwater, Mary M. – Science Activities, 1988
Presents several fun activities and teacher demonstrations which simplify terms and condense science concepts for teaching about the lever, wedge, wheel and axle, screw, pulley, and the inclined plane. Includes objectives, materials, procedures, suggested follow-up assignments, and diagrams. (RT)
Descriptors: Demonstrations (Educational), Experiential Learning, Laboratory Procedures, Motivation Techniques
Peer reviewedWelke, Ed; Henderson, Bobbie – Science Activities, 1992
Presents an activity that models the changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere during the last 200 years as determined from glacial records. (PR)
Descriptors: Earth Science, Environmental Education, Junior High Schools, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedKutscher, Eugene – Science Activities, 1993
Describes an activity where students generate a plan and test their ideas on trying to cope with a small oil spill. (PR)
Descriptors: Biology, Earth Science, Elementary Secondary Education, Environmental Education
Peer reviewedBush, Pat; And Others – Science Activities, 1992
Describes an activity measuring the amount of dissolved carbon dioxide in carbonated water at different temperatures. The amount of carbon dioxide is measured by the amount of dilute ammonia solution needed to produce a pH indicator color change. (PR)
