Freeland, P. W. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Describes a project in which fingerprint patterns were identified and analyzed to determine whether any positive relationship existed between pattern type and academic ability. (LS)

Peer reviewed
Ead, J.; Devonald, V. G. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Describes a single technique for an enzyme assay of catalase. The method shows that vegetable seeds submitted to pre-sowing 'hardening' cycles of imbition and drying have greater catalase activity and more rapid germination than do the controls. (LS)

King, T. J.; Woodell, S. R. J. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Outlines the ecology of Lasius flavus ant hill, describes sampling techniques for the determination of the species composition of the surrounding vegetation, presents a table of typical results from an ant-hill practical, and lists suggestions for further experiments. (GS)

Clayre, D. Chr. – Journal of Biological Education, 1974
A new biology syllabus in Denmark to better prepare students for university entrance is described. The proposed biology syllabus is designed for drop-outs of the normal system with very little educational background and of below average academic ability. The new course concerns the biology of man at population level, with social aspects being…

Griffiths, A. J. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of a specific method of bacterial identification and suggests some modifications or improvements. The approach is presented as being suitable for obtaining information about the diversity of bacterial types on student fieldwork. (Author/EB)

Peer reviewed
Lenton, G. M. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Photographs of a beetle, Catamerus rugosus, were taken at different stages in its life cycle. Students were asked to relate these to real life and carry out a statistical analysis to determine the degree of dispersion of animals. Results demonstrate a change in dispersion throughout the life cycle. (Author/EB)

Angseesing, J. P. A. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Describes materials and techniques suitable for class fieldwork on the ecology of the cyanogenesis polymorphism of white clover. Details of a school trial are presented and discussed. (Author/EB)

Smith, D. J.; Smith, S. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
A method is described for the construction of 3-dimensional map models which are portable and strong enough to be taken into the field. The construction method involves alternating portions of colored maps between sheets of perspex of a thickness which will give the vertical exaggeration desired. (BR)

Heath, D. J. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Describes a model system to illustrate many of the biochemical and chromosomal processes involved in the transmission of genetic material. Uses commercially available beads. (BR)
Descriptors: Biochemistry, Biology, College Science, Genetics
Peer reviewed
Pawson, J. Marke – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Suggests experiments with field ants which can demonstrate the effect an organism has on its surroundings. The ecological aspects explored are plant distribution on the ant hills and the differences between ant hills and the undisturbed soil surrounding. (BR)

Oliver, P. T. P. – Journal of Biological Education, 1975
Describes how to use playing cards as simulators to demonstrate several aspects of allelism and allele frequency in a gene pool. They provide an "unexpected" result, promote group discussion and may stimulate students to devise variations for comparison. (BR)
