Provides various steps for preparing programmed instructional materials for teaching basic scientific skills to students. Author claims that programmed instruction approach is very useful and interesting for teaching skills. (PS)

Describes various aspects of using classroom printed materials, including costs, storage, appearance and style of formats, and recommendations for student worksheets. (MLH)

Ideas for elementary school teachers are proposed. Demonstration experiments include thermal conductivity of gases, wetting power of detergents, external pressure effects on boiling point of water, frequency-wavelength relations, density of hot and cold water. Other useful tips are given for protecting wall charts and making descriptive labels.…

Included are topics such as Slide Rule,'' Transformation of Formulae and Solution of Linear Equations,'' Ideas of Symmetry,'' Sine and Cosine Functions,'' Graphs,'' Vectors,'' Statistical Topics,'' and Computer…

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)

Twelve ideas are presented for physics teachers to implement in the laboratory or classroom. Topics covered include electromagnetic induction, microbalance, capacitors, determination of light velocity, and the compound pendulum. Information regarding laboratory equipment is also provided. (PS)

Six new experiments are described for use in elementary school classrooms. Phenomena explored include friction, mass of air, kinetic energy, air condensers, and hot-air balloons. Instructions are explicit. (PS)

Summarized is a study designed to indicate how secondary school science teachers in Great Britain choose and use industrially produced resource materials (IPRM). Among the types of IPRM considered are films, videos, and computer simulations. Suggestions are given for improving materials for schools. (RH)

Ten ideas that have been tried out by the authors in schools are presented for biology teachers. The areas covered include genetics, dispersal of seeds, habituation in earthworms, respiration, sensory neurons, fats and oils. A reading list is provided. (PS)

Thirteen ideas are presented that may be of use to chemistry teachers. Topics covered include vitamin C, industrial chemistry, electrical conductivity, electrolysis, alkali metals, vibration modes infra-red, dynamic equilibrium, and some new demonstrations in gaseous combinations. (PS)

Two percent agar gel is reported as a better medium for germination and growth studies. Students can be encouraged to undertake many simple experiments and make precise observations by using this medium. (PS)

Several ideas are proposed for chemistry teachers to try in their classrooms. Subjects included are polymerization of acrylate, polymerization of styrene, conductivity, pollution, preparation of chlorine, redox equations, chemiluminescence, and molecular sieves. (PS)

Ideas are proposed for physics teachers to use in their classrooms. Subjects include: alpha particles, spectrometer experiments, refractive index of glass, measurement of surface tension, projectile motion, and radiant heat. (PS)

Describes various parts of a mini car and their chemical composition. Useful information is included for science teachers to relate basic chemistry concepts and techniques with their application in automobile industry. (PS)
