Roberts, A. V.; Short, K. C. – Journal of Biological Education, 1979
Recommendations are given for obtaining high quality preparations of chromosomes with relatively little equipment using an improved Feulgen-squash technique. (Authors/SA)
Descriptors: Biology, College Science, Genetics, Guides
Peer reviewed
Perley, James E.; Glass, A. D. M. – Journal of Biological Education, 1979
Presents a method for microscopically examining cytoplasmic streaming in root cells, and physiologically examining the delivery of ions to the xylem exudate. The expected result does not occur and the authors believe that students learn to re-examine the assumptions, thereby increasing their skills in scientific inquiry. (Authors/SA)

Woodward, E. – Journal of Biological Education, 1979
Discusses various aspects of in-service training and the design of self-instruction material. Special reference is given to materials for application in various places but developed at a central location. Results are given of the use of experimental materials in medical laboratories in The Gambia. (Author/SA)

Peer reviewed
Barker, Miles; Carr, Malcolm – Journal of Biological Education, 1989
Described is the generative learning strategy, an approach which encourages pupils to discuss their out-of-school ideas about plant breathing, drinking, wood production, soil, minerals, and leaves, and assist them in linking appropriate ideas together to form an explanation of the origin of plant materials. (CW)
Descriptors: Biology, Botany, Cognitive Structures, Discovery Learning
Peer reviewed
Henderson, Jenny; Lally, Vic – Journal of Biological Education, 1988
Discusses the important concepts involved in problem solving. Presents a chain representation of problem solving and gives an example of the application of this method. Provides a strategy for teaching controversial issues in a science classroom and gives an example of the implementation of the strategy. (CW)
