Designed to assist the teacher in introducing a unit on research and experimentation into his/her industrial arts program, this manual provides information for adoption to both classroom instruction and laboratory activities, and a student workbook. The instructor's section includes (1) What is Research? (2) Importance of Research and…

Basic knowledge about Skylab experiments is presented in this book for the purpose of informing high school teachers about scientific research performed in orbit and enabling the teachers to broaden their scope of material selection. The seventh volume deals with the ability of the Skylab crew to live and work effectively in space. The content is…

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…

Presents a science project involving the production, transportation, handling and preparation of food for human consumption. Calculations of caloric value of the food intake and the energy costs of cooking are included. (Author/SA)

This learning module is intended to illustrate the functioning and uses of bridge circuits. The discussion and laboratory procedures suggested in the module presume familiarity with basic concepts of electronics such as voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, phase, and knowledge of such skills as breadboarding circuits from…

This second volume, a compilation of reprints of experimental notes in physics, was prepared by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) Committee on Apparatus and by the AAPT Executive Office in response to requests received by the Association for a completely new edition. The goal of the Committee was to provide a selection of…

The experiments in this manual represent state-of-the-art techniques which should be within the budgetary constraints of a college physics or chemistry department. There are fourteen experiments divided into five modules. The modules are on X-ray fluorescence, charged particle detection, neutron activation analysis, X-ray attenuation, and…

This guide is prepared for teachers who have students using the laboratory manual, "Laboratory Activities for Biology." The publication contains some introductory remarks for teachers, lists of materials and equipment, methods of making solutions and other preparations, suggestions for introductory discussions with the class, and…

This teachers' handbook outlines the philosophy of this program, the methods of teaching it, and the information needed to perform the investigations. The purpose of this program is to encourage students to identify an environmental area to work in and to provide them with the tools to investigate it. The program fosters the idea of unsupervised…

Up-to-date knowledge about Skylab experiments is presented for the purpose of informing high school teachers about scientific research performed in orbit and enabling them to broaden their scope of material selection. The second volume emphasizes the sensing of earth resources. The content includes an introduction to the concept and historical…

This document is a report on a course in nuclear science for the high school curriculum. The course is designed to provide a basic but comprehensive understanding of the atom in the light of modern knowledge, and to show how people attempt to harness the tremendous energy liberated through fission and fusion reactions. The course crosses what are…

This activity package is designed as a resource for the classroom teacher. It contains numerous activities, experiments, and demonstrations in environmental education for the elementary grades. Numerous field trips are described. Each activity includes: objectives, suggested materials, suggested methods, and a description of the activity. Where…

Up-to-date knowledge about Skylab experiments is presented for the purpose of informing high school teachers about scientific research performed in orbit and enabling them to broaden their scope of material selection. The first volume is concerned with the solar astronomy program. The related fields are physics, electronics, biology, chemistry,…

This publication is a systematized annotated bibliography of environmental education materials. The materials listed are grouped according to instructional methodology or format so that publications which may be used in similar ways are grouped together. Each publication is listed under every appropriate instructional category. Instructional…
