Described are awareness activities that deal with human population growth, resources, and the environment. Activities include simulations, mathematical exercises, and discussions of the topic. Specific examples of what individuals can do to help are listed. (KR)

Discussed are facts about tort liability in science education and strategies that can be used to avoid liability. Variables such as maturity, size, age, mental capacity of students, and the nature of the activities are addressed. Included are four cases in which teachers were held liable for accidents. (KR)

Presented is a unified science and technology instructional model that emphasizes multidisciplinary learning through discovery and hands-on activities. Two courses, developed from this model, are described in terms of curriculum, teaching methods, scheduling, credit, limitations, enrollment, and promotion. (KR)

Discussed is the underrepresentation of women in higher education and science-related jobs and possible causes for the inequity. The implication for teachers, the feminine perspective, and classroom barriers are emphasized. (KR)

Discussed are the two sides to the question of laboratory dissections. Alternatives to dissection are proposed as well as the importance of incorporating dissections in a science curriculum. (KR)

Described is a solar science activity designed to show students how light energy can be directed to produce visible chemical changes by making sunprints. Included are the materials, procedure, and safety considerations. (KR)

Described is a team assignment where groups of students work on stoichiometry problems that apply to the real world. Teams of students act as chemical companies that have orders to fill for a customer. Included are the details of the customer order, student participation, and the evaluation procedure. (KR)

Described is a way to modify the classroom environment so that females and minorities are more encouraged to participate in activities. The use of cooperative skills are emphasized such as active listening and checking for understanding. (KR)

Described is a practical examination that investigated the process skills of ninth grade students. Six hands-on test items are described. Included are the process test categories, the test room setup, and the major findings. (KR)

Presented are the reasons why the earth sciences must play a major role in curriculum renovation. Philosophical, methodological, and conceptual contributions to K-12 curriculum content are discussed. (KR)

Presented is an activity where students conduct a micrometeorological study in their neighborhood using temperature, humidity measurements, and mapping skills. Included are a discussion of surface weather observations, the experiment, and directions. (KR)

Described are activities that lead to values clarification. Issues such as dissection, bioengineering, birth control, medical resources, and death are discussed. Included is a student questionnaire on the subject of dissection and the use of animals in laboratories. (KR)

Presented are six activities that help to promote critical and creative student thinking. Activities include discrepant events and questioning, divergent thinking, dilemma discussions, and drawing objects from symbols. Activities can be adapted to any science discipline. (KR)
