Provides students with an experience in drawing conclusions from experimental data. Large scale scattering experiment is used. (CP)

Stresses the importance of effective visual aids in physics instructions and the creation of motion pictures through animation. (CP)

Describes a technique used to become acquainted with students enrolled in a physical science class: having an informal, brown-bag lunch in the professor's office with students attending in groups of two or three. (PEB)

A professor describes his involvement in the Trainers of Teacher Trainers Program (TTT). As part of his contribution to the program he has assembled a series of physics experiments which he demonstrates for teachers and students in both the secondary and elementary schools. A description of the experiments is also presented. (JP)

Describes experiments that can be carried out by freshmen in general science courses. All experiments are prepared with inexpensive equipment and materials. Quantitative data are analyzed intuitively using graphical representations. (JP)

A junior college's individualized physics program is described. The unique features in this program are a 14-hour per day faculty tutoring service, completely open laboratories, and no time restrictions for completing a course. An appraisal of the program reports its strength and weaknesses. (JP)

Describes a circuit which can produce patterns consisting of epicycle curves. The appearance and mathematical nature of some of the patterns is explained. Details are given for the conversion of an oscilloscope to display the patterns demonstrating the practicality of such experiments in most introductory physics laboratories. (JP)

British Physics Centres are organizations within which university and school physics teachers meet to exchange ideas. Membership characteristics and activities of these centres are discussed. (JP)

A laboratory experiment is detailed which students can themselves perform to illustrate the subtleties of Einstein's theory of relativity. (JP)

The advantages are related of a video recorder over a Polaroid camera for doing experiments dealing with the "conservation of mass and momentum." Use of video records is advocated for recording measurements in physics experiments. (JP)

Discusses the technology used for transduction between electrical and acoustical signals. In particular, the recent developments in microwave ultrasonics research are presented. (JP)
