Showed that there were significant differences between adolescent, teacher, and parent attitudes toward marijuana, police, school, babies, teachers, and cigarettes in two seventh-grade Life Science classes. No significant differences were found between males and females on these topics. (MLH)

Presents abstracts of innovative activities of students in grades 7 through 12. Projects include community surveys, student or teacher initiated home/school experiments, scientist-supervised research by high school students, community and school service projects. (EB)

This is an annotated bibliography for secondary school students. It contains fourteen entries on marine vertebrates, nine entries on birds, twenty-nine entries on mammals, and one on amphibians and reptiles. Some of the entries are fiction. (BB)

This laboratory exercise integrates the topics of cell structure, classification of living organisms, and evolution. It is suitable for secondary or college biology courses and was used in an interdisciplinary science course for nonscience majors. (BB)

Discusses anthropomorphic explanations and the use of teleological formulations in biology teaching. Examines whether the teachers' use of "pictorial language" is taken at face value by students. (Author/GA)

The direct quote word problem from scientific literature is suggested as a means of demonstrating the relevance of mathematics to other fields. (MP)

Describes knowledge and attitudes regarding human genetics and biology among a sample of high school students. Also describes how the tests they use serve their interests in these two topics. (BB)

The results reported were obtained from surveys of high school and college teachers conducted in the spring of 1977. (BB)

Discusses eighteen minicourses developed from material contained in BSCS biology yellow, green, and blue versions. (BB)

Described are methods for making Cartesian divers for explaining atomic models utilizing a city planning analogy, a game for reviewing subject matter, the construction of a cell model, an improved diffusion demonstration, and uses of inexpensive glass cutters. (SL)

For the secondary school, the author discourages the use of dichotomous keys in favor of a punch-card system. The system is readily constructed by students for use in plant and animal classification. (CP)

Provides a listing of articles and papers published in 1976 relating to various fields of biology and presents various biological science activities. (SL)

The effects of varied concentrations of petroleum products on marine animals are tested. (CP)

Discusses the problem of mastering terminology, the role of language, and the structure of terminology in biology education. Provides a checklist for the presentation of science terms. Describes complexity of biological terminology and the difficulties often encountered by students. (CW)

Describes the life cycle and requirements of midges. Discusses larval substrate preferences, swimming behavior and distribution, developmental rates, temperature tolerances, egg hatching, swarming flights of adults, species composition within a sampling site, and developing a reference collection by rearing larvae.
