Discusses basic principles of remote sensing applications and five areas of the earth resources survey program: agriculture and forestry production; geography, cartography, cultural resources; geology and mineral resources; hydrology and water resources; and oceanography and marine resources. Indicates that information acquisition is the first…

Analyzes research findings relating to the students' learning of science on the basis of Piagetian theory. Concludes that present teaching techniques at the college level might be reaching less than half the student population and the science teacher must improve his teaching in order to talk to all of them. (CC)

Describes the use of bio-medically significant materials to teach a self-pacing chemistry laboratory course to nursing majors. Indicates that the student can learn from the course to determine values of body fluid constituents, about their variations among healthy populations, and about difficulties inherent in making such measurements. (CC)
