The research was carried out through research and development to produce an innovative chemistry laboratory workbook (InoChemLaW) followed by the implementation of the learning package in the teaching of chemistry. The result showed that a standard InoChemLaW has successfully been developed on the topic of Colligative Properties of solutions. The…

This study investigated the effects of practical activities and manual on science students' academic performance on solubility in Uruan Local Education Authority of Akwa Ibom State. The study adopted pretest, posttest non randomized quasi experimental design. Three research questions and three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. One…

This manual contains instructions for laboratory exercises using marine organisms. For each exercise a problem is defined, materials are listed, possible ways to solve the problem are suggested, questions are asked to guide the student in interpreting data, and further reading is suggested. The exercises deal with the measurement of oxygen…

The annotated illustrations of biological specimens useful for illustrating the "tropical" topics dealt with in African secondary school biology courses are designed to serve a two-fold purpose. The diagrams are intended to show the pupil the structures he should be looking for in his laboratory work, with the textual material being an…

The course presented in these two textbooks is an experimental integrated science course that is closely based upon the syllabus prepared by the Working Party on Secondary School Science (SE 015 432). The course, intended for all students in the first two years of Scottish secondary schools (grades eight and nine, approximately), interweaves…

Examines the treatment of errors and significant figures in physics manuals as part of an evaluation of these instructional materials. Comments on specific materials reviewed are provided. (JN)

Provided are 45 experiments in chemistry which have been used successfully by students in secondary school chemistry classrooms. Additional investigations directed at further inquiry on the part of the student are included. The experiments are directed at the development of science process skills and many of the concepts and generalizations which…

Included are two of the eight units of the Intermediate Science Curriculum Study materials designed for grade nine students. These are "Why you're you" (genetics), and "Crusty problems" (earth science). The first unit includes basic chapters and "excursions" which extend some of the ideas developed in the basic…

Included is the first half of the chapters and excursions of the Intermediate Science Curriculum Study materials designed for grade eight students. Although I.S.C.S. is an integrated science course, most of the concepts developed in this volume relate to chemistry. Introductory notes to the student explain how the book is to be used. Each chapter…

Although I.S.C.S. is an integrated science course, most of the concepts developed in this volume relate to chemistry. Introductory notes to the student explain how the book is to be used. Each chapter…

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…

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…

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.…

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,…
