Examines the scientific attitudes of a stratified sample of 684 tenth-grade students in Israeli schools. Compares these scores with those generated by a similar study in the United States. (CP)

An "up-to-date" application of algebraic techniques is described. The authors suggest that many such applications can be derived from newspapers and other sources. (SD)

Reports on the development, administration, and evaluation of a low anxiety testing model for use with preservice science teachers. (CP)

The author argues that the "least number principle" (well-ordering for positive integers) is more intuitively acceptable to high school students than mathematical induction which can be derived from it. (SD)

Provides methods by which one may include historical aspects of the growth and development of chemistry into a secondary school curriculum. Includes a selected bibliography of materials related to the history of chemistry. (CP)

Weather data gathered from the local newspaper can be used in teaching a unit on statistics. (SD)

Provides a description of Project Tactics for Applying Programs in Education (TAPE), a National Science Foundation funded program currently in use in South Dakota. Components of the program which include the use of television, telephone, and newspaper media are explained. (CP)

In an experimental approach to the teaching of General Mathematics, students work individually on projects; two teachers work together with the class. Although evaluation is incomplete, the authors feel the approach has had a positive effect on student motivation. (SD)

In the experiment discussed, three modes of presenting materials to second grade students were compared. Data analysis showed that the abstract mode was less successful than the others, but there was no clear difference between the manipulative and pictorial modes. (SD)

Problems in space geometry are discussed. Studying the equilateral triangle through its involvement in the solution of applied problems is advocated. (SD)

A game, similar to bingo is described, in which students match names, symbols, and figures. (SD)

Provides historical development of units of length, weight, and temperature. Stresses the simplicity of similar units in the metric system. (CP)

Details approaches which may be used to present energy related topics to secondary school students. (CP)

A model for multiplication is described and used to discuss the properties of division. (SD)
