Presented are 10 intervention techniques for making science a hands-on experience for disabled students. Included are field trips, lab buddies, flexible rooms, customized lab equipment, lesson adaptation, precourse interviews, involving the class, computer-assisted learning, social considerations, and the team approach. (KR)

Discussed is the importance of encouraging physically handicapped students into careers in the science fields. Information from interviews with handicapped people who have chosen science as a career are included. (KR)

Described is an activity where students prepare high-quality fossil specimens to demonstrate the theory of evolution. The technique needed for fossil removal, the geologic and paleoclimatic setting, and the fish morphology are discussed. (KR)

Developed is a classroom activity that illustrates the scientific method. The importance of observation, interpretation, and prediction is discussed. The activity uses pictures of the surface of Mars. (KR)

Describes how the Hubble Space Telescope works and how scientists repaired the spherical aberration that caused a reduction in image quality. (ZWH)

Biology and geometry students join forces to investigate a real world problem, recycling and landfill management. (ZWH)

Discusses what high school students with an interest in engineering should know before pursuing a degree in engineering. Also provides implications for high school science teachers. (ZWH)

Several topics such as heart disease, strokes, biochemical reactions, blood components, and genetics can be related to blood clotting. Introduces a simple, safe and inexpensive hands-on demonstration using bovine (cattle) blood plasma of normal and abnormal coagulation. (ZWH)

Describes how an integrated approach to scientific investigation was used to provide a better image of science to potential college students. (ZWH)

Describes seasonal activities that can be used to study the sedimentation process. (ZWH)

Describes a four-phase chemistry activity designed to offer students an opportunity to gain and practice skills in research, written and verbal communication, database creation and use, and to work as part of a problem-solving team. (ZWH)

Argues that scaling laws (square-cube law) used to predict the physical consequences of increasing and decreasing an object's size should be made a part of the high school science curriculum. (ZWH)

An integrative study of the parallel histories of art and science was used to enable students to understand the effects that changing definitions have on the expression of science and art. Examines the following periods in history: (1) Pre-Renaissance; (2) Renaissance; and (3) Modern Art and Science. (ZWH)

Describes how discrepant events in science can be used to stimulate and motivate the use of thinking skills in learning scientific concepts. (ZWH)

Describes a hands-on activity that helps students to better transfer the abstract concept of atoms into a concrete understanding of atomic structure. (ZWH)
