Explains the necessity for a domain concept in understanding ferromagnetism and discusses various factors influencing the domain configuration in a crystal. (MLH)

Discusses an instructional program for physics students in the use of libraries and information sources that includes a literature researching project. (MLH)

Reviews the historical development of physical science teaching at Winchester College with emphases upon practical problems encountered in the early introduction of science curricula to the school system. (CC)

Presents some organized ideas in thermodynamics which are suitable for use with high school (GCE A level or ONC) students. Emphases are placed upon macroscopic observations and intimate connection of the modern definition of temperature with the concept of ideal gas. (CC)

Discusses the theory and experimental procedures for using Young's eriometer to determine the diameters of blood corpuscles, lycopodium powder, and wool fibers. (CC)

Outlines Young's scholastic record, involving his educational background, contributions to optics in physics, and deciphering of hieroglyphics in Egyptian philosophy. (CC)

Summarizes the early discussion results in the development of a physics project in higher education. Indicates that the first-year experience concentrates on the following aspects: laboratory work, tutorial programs, and individualized instruction. (CC)

Reviews theoretical and experimental fundamentals of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Indicates that recent development of the theory of the continually expanding universe may lead to revision of the space-time continuum of the finite and unbounded universe. (CC)

Secondary school students' attitudes toward science or the sciences were determined with specially constructed scales and from records relating to student enrollment in science courses. Emphasis is placed on factors which influence girls to enroll in physical science courses vs biological science courses. (SA)

Information from a small survey of physics textbooks suggests that girls are underrepresented in the text and in illustrations. Suggests that if the pattern is apparent in all physics textbooks, then this may be an indication of the cause of a paucity of girls in the physical sciences. (SA)
