Canadian Women in Science is a six-part series on women who have chosen careers in fields traditionally held by men. In each program they discuss the nature of their work, how they chose their particular speciality, and the challenge of balancing the discipline required of a scientific career with outside interests. There is Pat, a medical technologist in transplant immunology, whose work fulfils her sense of purpose; Sheila, who, after raising a family, re-entered the workplace to pursue a career in nuclear medicine; Sue, a graduate student whose research on the atmosphere reflects a life-long need "to know how things work and why;" and Anne, a new mother, maintaining a career in biotechnology. Climate researcher Arlene Arama advises students to make up their own minds regarding a career. Achievement in any area is possible, she believes, if you have the desire and determination.

Conceptual Physics: A High School Physics Program. 2nd ed. (Print-Non-Fiction).
Hewitt, Paul G. Addison Wesley (ADD), 1992. 660 p. ISBN 0-201-28651 ($43.10 student edition)
ISBN 0-201-18652-X ($53.35 Teachers edition)
This recommended resource is a very readable text with many diagrams which help simplify complex concepts. It has a unique approach to physics with very little emphases on algebra and math problem solving. It is highly concept oriented. This is considered a "must" for students and teachers
who have difficulty reading traditional texts. The supplementary material is highly recommended. It is a good to excellent support for the DSLs with the exception of the Values That Underlie Science.

A Concise Dictionary of Biology. New ed. (Print-Non-Fiction). Oxford University (OUP), 1990. 266 p. ISBN 0-19-286109-3 ($11.50 pbk.)
This resource is a dictionary of biological and biochemical terms. Entries related to geology that are required for an understanding of paleontology and a few entries related to physics and chemistry that are required for an understanding of the physical and chemical aspects of biology are included. In this edition, new terms in genetics, molecular biology and immunology have been added. The material is easy to read and understand. Some of the over 2,500 entries are cross-referenced. Some illustrations are used.

Consumer Chemistry: Projects for Young Scientists (Print-Non-Fiction). Newton, David E. (Projects for Young Scientists). Franklin Watts (GRO), 1991. 112 p. ISBN 0-531-11011-7
($17.50 hdc.)
This interesting book contains experiments that examine the chemistry of such common consumer goods as food, cosmetics, detergents, soil, antacids, and fibres. Experiments are clearly detailed and many include illustrations of how to arrange the equipment. Black-and-white photographs depict male
and female students using proper laboratory techniques. Safety procedures are well explained, and warnings about potentially dangerous chemicals or procedures are clearly boxed at the beginning of relevant experiments. A section on special laboratory techniques, such as titrations and water baths, is included.

Contemporary Readings for General Biology. 3rd ed. (Print-Non-Fiction). Crane, John W. Wadsworth (NEL), 1989. 152 p. ISBN 0-534-13376-1 ($15.95 pbk.)
This title is a compilation of 24 scientific papers and articles on topics such as cell biology, genetics, plant systems, animal systems, evolution, diversity of life, ecology and behaviour. The articles focus on the social and ethical issues created by the impact of the biological sciences. This is considered to be an interesting, excellent resource, especially for creative teachers who want to make classes interesting and relevant for students. Some material may be dated and will need to be supplemented by current journal articles. Included is a table of contents.

Coulumb and Millikan (Software). MacQueen, Ron. Ron MacQueen (RON), 1987.
Contents: 1 disk, 1 teachers guide $49.95/package (There is a two package price of $79.95
for this title and Falling Through Air)
System Requirements: Apple IIe, 48K, 5 1/4", colour or b/w monitor, joystick, game paddle.
Students could use this highly recommended program to determine the relationship between force and distance. The students would need to have prior knowledge about the topic. The program is meant to simulate an experiment which would be extremely difficult to do in a classroom and obtain accurate results. Little background theory is provided, but the program is easy to use.
