Peer reviewedWard, Dan S. – Physics Teacher, 1976
Reports on technological advancements in the fields of solar collectors, thermal storage systems, and solar heating and cooling systems. Diagrams aid in the understanding of the thermodynamics of the systems. (CP)
Descriptors: Energy, Fuels, Heat, Instructional Materials
Peer reviewedRaymo, Chet – Physics Teacher, 1976
Provides two exercises in abstract problem solving. Intended to parallel a physicist's approach to the solution of a law of nature, the activities are open ended without definite answers. (CP)
Descriptors: Abstract Reasoning, College Science, Higher Education, Instruction
Peer reviewedWillis, Jack; Kirwan, Donald F. – Physics Teacher, 1976
The pedagogy and an extensive listing of topics suitable for large scale demonstrations are provided. (CP)

Peer reviewedMacmillan, Norman H.; Latanision, R. M. – Physics Teacher, 1976
In the first part of this article, brief reviews were given of the atomic-scale mechanisms by which crystalline solids deform and the nature of the interface between such solids and their environment. In this part, the mechanisms of a representative range of surface and environment sensitive mechanical phenomena are explained. (Author/CP)

Peer reviewedYoung, Matthew – Physics Teacher, 1976
Studies the practicality of water-filled flat-plate solar collectors. An estimate of solar energy gathering abilities and applications in heating of homes are considered. (CP)
Descriptors: Energy, Fuels, Heat, Heating
Peer reviewedMargrave, Thomas E., Jr. – Physics Teacher, 1976
Combines coordinate systems, planetary positions, use of the celestial globe, and synodic period in a graphing exercise. Information is given to duplicate an occurrence of 1940 in which five naked eye planets were simultaneously visible. (CP)

Peer reviewedGardner, Robert – Physics Teacher, 1976
Suggests the use of a colorimeter in which heat produced is related to the amperage and voltage measured. In relating the quantities, a definition for voltage can be obtained. (CP)
Descriptors: Electricity, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Experiments, Physics
Peer reviewedDavies, E. J.; Wilson, J. H. – Physics Teacher, 1976
Describes a no lecture, laboratory oriented approach to the teaching of the Tech Physics Project. Evaluates success of this approach and identifies alternative formats which have been used in instances in which students needed a more structured mode of presentation. (CP)
