Locally Produced Laboratory Equipment for Chemical Education. Proceedings of the Workshop (Copenhagen, August 11-17, 1983).
Thulstrup, E. W., Ed.; Waddington, D., Ed.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) of Unesco promotes cooperation and the furtherance of chemistry worldwide. The workshop was structured so that contributions representing a wide range of interests in chemistry and chemical education could be presented. The papers include: (1) descriptions of some simple equipment that can be made from easily accessible materials (such as low cost polarimeters, cation-exchangers, magnetic balances, pH meters, and photometers); (2) accounts of instructional programs at various universities which use locally produced equipment (including universities in Thailand, Nigeria, Czechoslovakia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, India, and West Germany); and (3) articles that outlined trends and issues in international chemical education. The agenda for the workshop and a list of participants are included. (TW)
