Describes a number of undergraduate laboratory experiments that illustrate the science of alchemy as it was historically practiced. (MLH)

Presents abstracts of nine papers presented at a conference of chemical educators and chemical industry representatives concerning ways to better prepare the college graduate to work in the chemical industry. (MLH)

Describes an undergraduate atomic absorption experiment in which the iron and manganese concentrations in dry cat food are determined. (MLH)

Presents several demonstrations in spectroscopy. (RH)

References are divided into three areas: general; air; and resources, wastes, and recycling. Includes books, periodicals, abstracts, government documents, experiments, computer models, simulations, and films. (MLH)

Describes two secondary-level classroom games designed to teach the balancing of chemical equations and the principles of chemical bonding. (MLH)

Describes an organic chemistry experiment that illustrates dimerization, gas chromatography analysis and separation, and the thermodynamic basis for Markovnikov's rule. (MLH)

Presents the results of a questionnaire sent by the American Chemical Society (ACS) to university chemistry departments concerning their use of student questionnaires in evaluating instructors and courses. (MLH)

Four college chemistry classes participated in an experiment in which each student assigned a number to every student in his class proportional to his opinion of their abilities. A substantial positive correlation was found between these ratings and the actual grades received in the course. (MLH)

Describes a computer program that teaches the concept of spatial distributions of atoms in a molecule and another program that simulates the kinetic progress of a chemical reaction. (MLH)

Presents the results of a questionnaire sent to analytical chemistry instructors and medical, dental, and osteopathic school instructors requesting them to rate in order of importance a list of topics for an analytical chemistry course for premedical and health science students. (MLH)

Describes an evening chemistry course designed to teach noncriminology personnel in the law enforcement field the function of a crime laboratory and the application of scientific analysis to law enforcement problems. (MLH)

Videotapes were taken of segments of freshman chemistry recitations taught by graduate students and analyzed using interaction analysis. A person skilled in teaching methods used the tapes to help the graduate students improve their teaching techniques. (MLH)

Describes a dry-lab experiment in which the student is provided with a set of fluorescence spectra of quinine for study and interpretation. (MLH)

Describes a laboratory experiment in which the students prepare an antichap lipstick from basic ingredients and demonstrate solubility relationships between these ingredients and water. (MLH)
