Reviews new science equipment and products for the laboratory. Includes hand-held calculators, fiberglass fume hoods, motorized microtomy, disposable mouse cages, and electric timers. Describes 11 products total. Provides manufacturer name, address, and price. (MA)

Discusses some principles of biological taxonomy. The evolutionary principle in taxonomy and its limitations, and the difference in evolutionary patterns between plants and animals, are also discussed. (HM)

Describes an environmental science course which has been offered for graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. The results of the course evaluation are also included. (HM)

Presents a brief discussion of rules for consistent chemical equations writing, intended for college chemistry students and instructors. (HM)

Presents seven chemistry experiments, courses, and laboratory activities which have been done by some college chemistry teachers as a way of exchanging new ideas. (HM)

Analyzes the Comprehensive Assistance to Undergraduate Science Education (CAUSE) program of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The CAUSE awards by type of institution for the fiscal year 1979 and the period between 1976 and 1979 are presented. (HM)

Describes two seven-week modules offered at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, during the 1974-75 academic year. These modules examined the contemporary situation for women scientists and the lack of women in the sciences. (HM)

Discusses the importance of developing bioethics programs for undergraduate students. Two aspects are considered: (1) current areas of concern and sources of bibliographic information; and (2) problems encountered in undergraduate projects. A list of references is provided. (HM)

Describes some of the instructional methods tried, the problems encountered, and the philosophies involved concerning individualized instruction in a community college. The two semester introductory biology course emphasizes the open laboratroy concept, with individualized instructional modules prepared for laboratory experiments. (HM)

Investigates several aspects or modes of cognitive functioning, or styles, that may be indicative or predictive of success in undergraduate chemistry achievement. A concurrent investigation was also made of nonscience majors' congnitive styles. (Author/HM)

Discusses a physical science course developed for college nonscience majors. This course, which is approached from an interdisciplinary perspective, investigates how muscles operate using the process of inquiry. Course content, instructional strategy, and course assessment are also discussed. (HM)

Discusses the use of a programed multi-image lecture approach for teaching a botany course to nonmajor students at the University of California, Berkeley. Also considers the advantages, production, method of presentation, and design of the multimedia lectures. (HM)

Describes an interdisciplinary approach for teaching the topic of anesthesia as one aspect of a chemistry-oriented course for nonscience majors which focuses on timely topics such as the energy crisis and drugs. Historical treatment with the examination of literature is emphasized in teaching. (HM)

Describes a simple conductivity apparatus for the determination of ionization and solubility product constants of various substances. The uses of the apparatus in determining the ionization constant of a weak monoprotic acid and in measuring the rate of diffusion of ions through a membrane are also presented. (HM)

Describes the interdisciplinary "Science--A Process Approach" course, intended as a general studies elective for nonscience majors. It is recommended for elementary education majors at Southern Illinois University for improving science process skills. Results of the course evaluation are discussed. (HM)
