Described are research topics, activities, and experiences that were a major part of a two-week workshop sponsored as a starting point in the study of Bicentennial Science. (EB)

Two topics are currently being greatly discussed in educational literature: (a) summer programs and (b) minority in mathematics and science. The Lincoln Foundation summer program provided participants with 4 weeks of instruction in math and science. The goal of the program was to enhance students' ability to succeed in high-school level…

Explains the need to encourage minority students to choose physics as the field for advanced work. Institutes were organized during summer, enrolling minority students to enrich their backgrounds. Results have been encouraging and more extensive planning is underway. (PS)

Describes the topics covered and methods used in a liberal arts astronomy course on photographing the night sky. (MLH)

Discusses the Fermilab summer program for minority students, its evolution, selection of student participants, selection of student assignments, living arrangements, salaries, and the impact of the program. (SL)

Students (n=570, aged 12-16) who attended university-sponsored science and mathematics summer classes reported on their subsequent status at their regular schools pertaining to credit and placement issues. Advanced placement was given more often than credit, although in most cases both were awarded, particularly for high school level coursework.…

Project Search trains teams of high school teachers in environmental monitoring methodology in a summer institute. The focus is on applying science to real-life learning. (SK)

Describes a five-day summer camp which provided 12 children, ages 9-14, with a complete flying experience. The training consisted of ground school and one hour actual flying time, including the basics of aircraft control and a flight prepared and executed by the students. (MLH)

The appreciable impact of the National Science Foundation on the education of scientists in the United States since the agency's founding was discussed. One of the major new challenges considered was the need for scientists and engineers to learn more about our society's economics, politics, and values. (Editor/RK)

In this document are 275 appendix tables for a follow-up study of participants in the 1957 National Science Foundation Summer Institute for mathematics and science teachers. Over 1,500 participants in the 1957 institutes were interviewed in 1960. The responses are tabulated in these appendices. Data are presented under such headings as: size of…

Describes an ecology laboratory summer school designed to help eight- to eleven-year-olds become more aware of their environment. Presents the approaches taken in examining various major questions relating man, animals and plants. (EB)

This study concerned whether a model designed to enchance educational accountability developed by university science educators could be used to enhance science educational accountability in a public middle school. Participants in the study were 39 teachers who attended a combined summer/inservice institute in the summer of 1973 at Ball State…
