This physics laboratory manual is the result of curriculum development begun at Aviation High School (New York City) in 1967. It represents a semester of advanced laboratory work for those students who have completed the usual course in physics. The 91 laboratory experiments included in the manual have been developed and modified through use for…

This manual was prepared for the purpose of stimulating the development of effective unit operations and unit processes laboratory courses in environmental engineering. Laboratory activities emphasizing physical operations, biological, and chemical processes are designed for various educational and equipment levels. An introductory section reviews…

The 144 worksheets contained in these two packages (one package for each of the first two years of a Scottish science course based on the syllabus developed by the Working Party on Secondary School Science and described in SE 015 432) have been designed to suit a broad ability range of students between the ages of about 11 and 14. The sheets…

This booklet is one of a series intended to provide explicit instructions for the collection of oceanographic data and samples at sea. The methods and procedures described have been used by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and found reliable and up-to-date. Instructions are given for taking air samples on board ship to determine the…

A method of preparing computerized subject and author indexes for research and development laboratory notebooks is described. Wiswesser Line Notation is used as the subject entry capable of listing specifically and unambiguously the compounds described in the notebooks. (Author)

DEVELOPED AS A PART OF A CURRICULUM PROJECT, DESCRIBED IN VT 004 454, TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN BASIC PRINCIPLES AND CONCEPTS OF MECHANICS AND TECHNOLOGY, THIS MANUAL PROVIDES TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WITH INSTRUCTIONS AND QUESTIONS RELATIVE TO EIGHT LABORATORY EXERCISES TO DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE OPERATION OF BASIC MAGNETIC AND ELECTRICAL…

A collection of seven laboratory facilities and processes dedicated to improving student understanding of the fundamental concepts associated with the structural mechanics of oceanic structures is described. Complete working drawings covering all mechanical and electrical aspects of these systems are presented so that the systems may be reproduced…

This volume is the first in a series of the ACS "Modern Chemical Technology" (ChemTeC) curriculum which is to prepare chemical technicians. The chapters concentrate on gas chromatography, tests for purity, properties of gases, and gas measurements. Included is the appropriate content, exercises, laboratory activities, and all needed mathematics.…

Included are two of the eight units of the Intermediate Science Curriculum Study materials designed for grade nine students. These are "investigating variation" and "winds and weather." Introductory notes to the student explain how the book is to be used. Each chapter starts with a short statement of a general problem, then…

These materials, including teacher's guide, student test booklet and laboratory guide, student workbook, test booklet, and a booklet explaining the answers to the questions in the test booklet, are first trial versions of a unit that will form part of the Australian Science Education Project instructional materials for grades seven through ten.…

This manual is designed for use in the laboratory phase of courses dealing with microbial aspects of pollution. It attempts to cover the subject area broadly in four major categories: (1) microorganisms in clean and polluted waters, (2) carbonaceous pollutants, (3) nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and sulfur as pollutants, and (4) sanitary…

This manual describes safety procedures which should be observed in the chemistry laboratory. Accidents which may occur when working with chemicals such as peroxides, phosphorus, heavy metals, acids, etc., need special treatment. Quite suitable descriptions of such treatment are listed for each kind of possible accident in the laboratory.…

Volume One of the three-volume experimental program in general science attempts to provide preparation for the new approaches in biology, chemistry, and physics and to give those who will not continue in science a realistic way of understanding themselves, the world, and the role of science in society. Chapters on the nature of scientific inquiry,…
