Unit contents are discussed in connection withteaching aid lists, multi-media schedules, schedule blocks, andresource charts. Brief summaries are made for transparencies, 16mm films, and reader articles. Included is information about the backgroundand development of each unit chapter, procedures in demonstrations, apparatus operations, notes on the student handbook, andan explanation of film loops. Additional articlesare concerned with objects dated by radiocarbon, radiation safety, propertiesof radiations, radioactive sources, radioactivity determinationby electroscopes, and radiation detecting devices.Scalers, counters, Geiger tubes, and cadmium selenide photocellsare analyzed; and a bibliography of references is given, Solutionsto the study guide are provided in detail, and answers to test itemsare suggested. The sixth unit of the text, with marginal commentson each section, is also compiled in the manual.
