Discusses basic principles of remote sensing applications and five areas of the earth resources survey program: agriculture and forestry production; geography, cartography, cultural resources; geology and mineral resources; hydrology and water resources; and oceanography and marine resources. Indicates that information acquisition is the first…

Analyzes research findings relating to the students' learning of science on the basis of Piagetian theory. Concludes that present teaching techniques at the college level might be reaching less than half the student population and the science teacher must improve his teaching in order to talk to all of them. (CC)

Describes the use of bio-medically significant materials to teach a self-pacing chemistry laboratory course to nursing majors. Indicates that the student can learn from the course to determine values of body fluid constituents, about their variations among healthy populations, and about difficulties inherent in making such measurements. (CC)

Presents some historical examples which illustrate the effects of social and cultural backgrounds on the appearance of creativeness. Included are suggestions necessary for the industrial, government, and university laboratories to enhance their employees' creativity. (CC)

Discusses the offering of a Science for Poets course at the General Science Department of State University College at Buffalo, involving objectives, methods, and grouping techniques. Included are lists of problems proposed by teachers and students in the course. (CC)

Discusses the teaching of a science course to prospective elementary teachers using materials from astronomy, chemistry, geology, and physics. Indicates that it is possible to help future teachers develop a positive attitude toward science teaching through such a unified course. (CC)

Presents 12 problems that deserve consideration by faculty members before the decision be made to accept or reject collective bargaining appearing between faculty and campus administrations to determine salaries and working conditions for college employees. (CC)

Discusses the use of small-group inquiry techniques and discovery exercises within the traditional lecture setting to teach chemistry to large nonscience classes. Included are descriptions of classroom activities, student assignments, and program effectiveness. (CC)

Presents an analysis of scientific theory which is applicable to the full range of historical situations. Indicates that theory can be resolved into three generalization levels, one neutral element, and two modes. Included are examples illustrating the constituency of the three levels in two modes. (CC)

Discusses the offering of day-long sessions entitled "Science and Society" to high school students at Kansas State Teachers College with the purpose of increasing public understanding of science. Included is a brief description of laboratory experiments carried out in the sessions. (CC)

Discusses the teaching of a junior level physical chemistry course with self-paced instruction to engineering and physical science students. Included are a description of topics and a summary of student responses. (CC)

Describes the use of student projects within a traditional biology laboratory class to incorporate openness, inquiry techniques, and student choice into course teaching. Included is a list of sample investigations. (CC)

Reviews the existing federal budgetary processes to illustrate that educational programs in general have been hurt by impoundment during the last two years. Indicates that the Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1973 would provide the Congress with anti-impoundment machinery. (CC)
