T

HE use of projects and other supplementary materials is often helpful in the teaching of sciences. The author has used projects and supplementary reading reports for the past two years and has found them to be of some value. Their use has not proved to be the "cure-all" that many claim them to be. However, experience has proved that this sort of material is helpful in teaching some students. The list of projects and reading reports which folfow contain topics which have been compiled during the past two years and also lists the instructions given to the students. No claim is made for orieinalitv.. as the material was compiled from sources too numerous to mention, and while the list is far from complete it is offered with the hope that it might provide a source of ideas for supplementary materials. ~

OPTIONAL WRIlTEN REPORT?

The topics listed on the next few pages are suggested as material which can be used to raise your grade, increase your knowledge, and to provide work for the ambitious student. These reports are to be written in ink, or typewritten, and must be approximately four hundred words in length. They should show that you have done some additional reading, or research, on the topic chosen. Credit will be given for these reports by using the grade given on the report as a factor in determining your six-weeks grade. If you wish to secure more credit than this you may use any of these topics as a Research Topic. See the Rules for Research Topics. Reading . Reports may NOT be substituted for a Project. Research Topics MAY be substituted for a Project. RESEARCH

(1)

Topics must be chosen from posted list. Exceptions granted only after consultation with instructor. ,(2) All research must be completed by April 30.

Reports of research will comprise the following divisions: ( A ) Thesis or Paper (Minimum two thousand words) (1) Divisions of Thesis. (a)Cover. (6) Title page. i,d, Table of contents. (d) Written account of work. (e) Bibliography. ( B ) Drawings, Diagrams, Pictures, Displays, and so forth. (1) Should you desire drawings, diagrams, and pictures, they may be distributed through the thesis. (2) It is almost necessary in research of this kind that you prepare, whenever possible, .your own diagrams, models, and materials. (4) Papers and all research materials need not be in duplicate unless you want t o keep a copy. Must be in ink or typewritten (double-space). ( 5 ) Research work will be substituted for one-half or all of the second semester examination according to type of work done. (6) Any student neglecting his daily wmk for research will be requested to drop research until daily work is satisfactory to instructor. (7) Research is open to Chemistry and Physics students only. Some exceptions may be made in General Science. (8) You mud consult instructor to secure his approval before starting a research topic (This is not necessary for a reading report.)
