Science
Introductory Biology
Eva Bushman
This is a general course in biology which stresses the importance of
living things in our lives. Many specific examples give the student a basis
for understanding what he or she sees in the natural world. Topics include
evolution, classification of plants, animals, and protists; comparative
anatomy of cells, tissues, organs, and systems; comparative physiology;
interrelationships of organisms in the various biomes; the human body;
genetics; and behavior. Recommended for grades 9-14.

Biology Dictionary
Sr. Rita Blanche St. Pierre
This dictionary of approximately 5000 terms is especially appropriate
for beginning or first-year biology students. The author, an experienced
biology teacher for more than 25 years, used over 100 biology texts and
dictionaries in researching terms and definitions. The goal was a dictionary
that could be used independently by students, with simple pronunciation cues
and definitions that would be usable and understandable by
biology students everywhere.

Introductory Chemistry
Eva Bushman
Introductory Chemistry discusses the properties of matter, chemical
reactions, solutions, and properties of the main groups of elements.
Designed for students with little background in chemistry and mathematics,
the course stresses the practical aspects of the science.
Recommended as a high school course, a general college course, or as
preparation for college science majors with no high school chemistry
background. Grades 9-14.

Chemistry Problem Solving
Wheeler
Understanding problems and how to solve them is often the bane of the
General Chemistry student. Chemistry Problem Solving directs and
leads students through several types of problems they will meet. By a
kind of Socratic method, students are helped to work their way through a
problem, not just given a model to memorize. A few suggestions are presented
and directions given, then students work through a step of the problem, work
is checked, and directions given for the next step, and so on. Each module is
limited to one problem type or a few closely related ones.
Each of the basic problem areas is covered: stoichiometry, gas laws, heat
and thermodynamics, solutions, equilibria of the several varieties, and redox,
through the Nernst equation. Several other frequent sources of difficulty are
treated; writing formulas, Lewis structures and molecular geometry, and some
ideas on how to predict a chemical reaction (precipitation and neutralization).
For use as a study aid or supplement to an advanced high school or college
freshman chemistry text.

Introductory Physics
Norman Crowhurst, Ph.D.
Geared to the needs of a rapidly changing world, this course combines
all the basic requirements of more conventional physics course objectives
with many new ones, in a way that makes the learning easy and builds a
solid foundation for a wide variety of worthwhile careers.

The Vocabulary of Physics
William S. Rothwell, Ph.D.
More than a dictionary, this volume was written on the conviction that
physics textbooks place insufficient emphasis on the new vocabulary which
students must assimilate. The author, a teacher and industrial research
scientist, chose more than 100 of the most important physics terms, the correct
understanding of which is vital to the new student, and discusses in detail
their meaning and how they fit and interact in the nomenclature of contemporary
physics.
Contains sections on: Mathematics, Mechanics (Statics, Dynamics, Acoustics),
Heat, Electricity & Magnetism, Light & Optics (Geometrical, Physical), and
Modern Physics (Quantum Physics, Nuclear Physics, Relativity).

The Earth’s Atmosphere
Robin Sladd
LESSON 1 of this program covers the importance of atmosphere to man;
and then composition of the atmosphere (first in general and then in layers
or strata). LESSON 2 deals with subdivisions of the hemisphere, while
LESSON 3 discusses the heterosphere and the importance of the troposphere to
man. LESSON 4 then reviews, in considerable detail, the importance of the outer atmosphere,

Ocean Waves & Progressive Oscillatory Waves
Robin Sladd
The emphasis of this program is on student understanding, through
carefully planned, increasingly difficult responses. Each concept is
well illustrated, and students are required to make discriminations,
inferences, and judgments with reference to each.

Oceans of the World - Questions and Answers About
Adam
The 100 important questions answered by this course are typical of the
questions asked of the National Oceanographic Data Center each year.
But, in addition to answering these questions, this program has a more basic,
two-fold purpose: 1) to present factual material on the marine sciences for
use by young people (at all grade levels), with the expectation that it will
stimulate their imagination, create interest in the subject, and provoke
further study, and 2) to supply for teachers a suitable introduction to selected
marine subjects, with specific references for additional information.
