Abstract

At the end of the first semester a talking motion picture on molecular physics was shown twice to Section A in College Physics. Section B did not see the picture. The following day the Nation-wide examination in College Physics was given to both groups and about twenty questions were selected for analysis from the examination covering material reviewed in the pictures. Also a supplementary examination of 13 questions was given to cover material not covered in the final examination. An analysis of the results shows that this talking motion picture was a very effective means of reviewing molecular physics.
