Describes how one could teach velocity and acceleration from a Piagetian framework. This approach is compared with the traditional method of teaching constantly accelerated motion to high school and college students. Some problems and a list of references are also presented. (HM)

Investigates the effectiveness of an activity-centered modular course taught at Albany State College, Albany, Georgia in 1974. A description of the course which included 12 modules is presented. It is concluded that students' knowledge was increased by the use of behavioral objectives. (HM)

Discusses the use of individualized instruction, known as the personalized system of instruction (PSI), in teaching college physical science courses. Tables summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of PSI from the viewpoints of students, teachers, and administrators are presented. (HM)

Describes how 30-gram balloons can be used to obtain cloud heights and determine winds aloft. Plans for constructing a workable theodolite inexpensively from common materials are also included. (HM)

Describes how the art of Maurits Escher can be used in physical science and general chemistry classes. A film depicting Escher at work in creating a woodcut and a set of slides are shown to college students. The students are encouraged to observe and record what they see. (HM)

Discusses how the International System (SI) abbreviations for numerical factors designated as prefixes may be treated in quantity calculus as free-standing algebraic symbols. Illustrative examples are also presented. (HM)

Summarizes some features of the Science Education Development and Research programs (SEDR) of the National Science Foundation, designed for both the precollege and college levels in an attempt to discover policy trends and current events of interest to college teachers. (HM)

The author discusses Professor Henry A. Bent's presentation regarding the nature of the difficulty that many college and university students have with arithmetic reasoning involving division. (HM)

Describes management procedures which have been developed to facilitate and coordinate staff efforts in a biology learning center at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. (HM)

Identifies several pieces of equipment and new products for use in college science teaching such as: (1)rotary retracting microtome; (2)airflow bench; and (3)digital stop clock. A description of each one, the price, and the address of the seller are also presented. (HM)

Describes the phased development of a program in Blood Transfusion Technology at Staten Island Community College of the City University of New York. Presents a detailed outline of the instructional content of the course. (SL)

Presents a detailed outline/guide for preparing well-organized grant requests and proposals. (SL)

Discusses the desirability of offering introductory college chemistry courses in lecture-laboratory sections and in audio-tutorial sections. (SL)

Presents preliminary findings of results of tests of Piagetian cognitive development to predict success in introductory undergraduate physics courses. Grades were predicted with good success. (SL)

Discussed is copyright legislation, its history, the Fair Use Doctrine, ambiguities, and the major educational aspects of new copyright legislation pending in congress. (SL)
