Outlines the history of National Science Foundation (NSF) institutes for science teachers and reports the results of a study which investigated the impact of the NSF biology institute at the University of Montana upon its participants. (JR)

Describes how to use the distinctive properties of osazone formation in conjunction with molecular model construction to demonstrate the relationship between the three-dimensional structures of simple sugars and the shapes of crystals they form. (BR)

Describes how adaptation projects are used to produce BSCS materials specifically designed for the local flora, fauna, educational system, biological problems and culture of other countries. (BR)

Presents a viewpoint that the civilized man, the humane man, accepts not only the humane ethic but also the conservationist's philosophy and the environmentalist's point of view because all these views are overlapping, interlocking and essential to a better and more civilized world. (BR)

Describes an environmental education program which centers its study on a one-week river trip on the Mississippi, the purpose of which is to discover, through laboratory procedures and people concerned with the river, what its present condition is. (BR)

Presents an open ended list of delusions about population which are based on expansionist economics and contends that dispelling these delusions, and others, will allow us to come to grip with the population problem. Some of the delusions presented concern birth control, sharing the wealth, and energy shortages. (BR)

Describes how social issues arise and are formulated, reviews the scientific methodology that controls the formulation of problem areas, suggests definitions of environmental education, classifies the problems into four major areas and suggests three basic causes of environmental problems. (BR)

Describes an elective biology program offered at Lawrence High School (Kansas) that emphasizes basic field biology, ecology, conservation, camping, first aid, mountaineering, and map reading. Groups of students spend two weeks in the Rocky Mountains developing knowledge and skills in these areas. (JR)

Describes Project Biotech, a program that utilizes the audio-tutorial principle to develop skill-oriented modules. The modules are self-pacing, independent units of instruction which concentrate on a few well-defined objectives and allow the student to learn at his own rate with minimal supervision. (PB)

Part two of a two-part article gives details of the threat of off-road vehicles to the terrain and wildlife of desert areas and to cultural values. (JR)
