In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the physical science domain of TIMSS 2019 and the Korean science curriculum. Twelve subjects are presented in the physical science domain of the TIMSS 2019 4th grade evaluation framework. Research group consisting of elementary and middle school teachers and science education experts, a total of 12, participated to analyze in which grade these subjects were included in the Korea 2009 revised and 2015 revised science curriculum. As a results of analyzing whether the achievement standards of the TIMSS 2019 evaluation framework and Korean science curriculum are consistent, the subjects pertinent to chemistry like 'chemical changes in everyday life,' 'heat transfer,' and 'electricity and simple electrical circuits' appeared not covered at all until the 4th grade curriculum in Korea. Given that the TIMSS 2019 evaluation framework is an international achievement standard, we are proposing to improve the Korean curriculum as follows: first, for the development of the next science curriculum, there is a need for science curriculum organized from the 1st grade of elementary school to connect the content and scope of chemistry in elementary, middle, and high schools as a whole including the Nuri curriculum. Second, as an alternative to the problem of suitability of learning volume and level of learning, it is possible to think of a method to readjust the grade of dealing with related concepts by lowering the difficulty or simplifying the concept. Third, it is necessary to discuss about introducing essential concepts and standard terms into Korea science curriculum according to international trends.

Linear polyethers were prepared by the reaction of diphenoxide anions from 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, bis (4-hydroxylphenyl) sulfide, and bis (khydroxyphenyl) sulfone with 1,6-dibromohexane in aqueous/nitrobenzene heterogeneous phases. Tetrabutylammonium bromide was employed as a phase transfer catalyst. The polymerizations were dependent both on stirring speed and catalyst level, but only up to certain maximum values. Distribution studies demonstrated transference of diphenoxide anions from aqueous phase into nitrobenzene in the presence of the catalyst. Some of polymers were characterized with respect to their intrinsic viscosities (0.09-O.16), number average molecular weight (2400-4800)) and thermal properties. The use of a new terminology, 'phase transfer polymerization?, is proposed to differentiate this type of polymerizations from interfacial polycondensations.

The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students' conceptions and conceptual types on molecular kinetic theory of gases. Data was collected by a series of semi-structured and in-depth interviews, and has been analyzed. This study showed that the students came to science classes with various prior conceptions of many disciplinary topics. Their conceptual types of their prior knowledge were distinguished as superficial terms-speaking, partial sense-making, and causal sense-making by the degrees of organization and elaboration of conceptual networks. These conceptual types had influence on the ways students understand and think of science, a stability of their conceptions, a tendency to distinguish school science from everyday science, and building a meaning of concept in contexts. It was referred that the students didn't have proper understanding on the nature of scientific knowledge and had been limited their participations as active learners. Therefore, in order for students to experience conceptual change, they must have opportunities of manifesting their own thinking, taking part in discussions, and promoting their motivations and metacognition of knowing and learning science.

수천 년 전부터 인간생활에 이용되어온 일라이트-운모는 다른 광물자원에 비하여 사용량은 많지 않지만, 요업, 도료, 종이, 건축용 재료, 화장품 소재 및 전자부품과 전기 재료 등 여러 산업 분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. 일라이트-운모는 광물학적으로 같은 계열의 광물군임에도 불구하고 산출상태, 입도 및 용도의 차이에 따라 다른 광물자원으로 취급되고 있다. 특히 국내에서 일라이트는 용어상의 혼란과 불명확한 법정 등록광종 때문에 효율적인 자원관리와 연구개발이 곤란한 실정이다. 그러므로 일라이트를 비롯한 점토광물 자원에 대한 광업법규상의 개선과 제도적 정비가 시급히 요구된다. 국내에서 개발되고 있는 일라이트-운모의 광석 유형은 그 광물상과 산출상태에 따라 페그마타이트상 백운모, 운모편암상 백운모, 납석상 일라이트 및 점토상 일라이트로 구분된다. 일라이트와 운모는 서로 다른 용도로 사용되고, 그 용도에 따라 그 품위 및 품질 개념이 다르다. 일라이트-운모 광석의 품위 및 품질 면에서 가장 기본적인평가방식은 (1) 육안 및 편광현미경 관찰, (2) X-선회질 분석 및 (3) 화학분석인 것으로 생각된다. 특히 리트벨트법을 응용한 X-선회질 정량분석법은 일라이트의 품위를 산정하는데 유력한 수단이 될 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 국내 일라이트-운모 자원의 자원잠재성과 부가가치를 향상시키기 위해서는 광석에 대한 정확한 품위 평가를 바탕으로 가장 적절한 이용 분야를 모색해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

ESCO란 에너지 절약회사(Energy Saving Company) 또는 에너지 서비스 회사(Energy Service Company)를 뜻하는 용어로 지난 1992년 정부에서 에너지 절약을 촉진하기 위해 정책자금을 도입하면서 등장했다. 이들 기업은 정부에서 정책자금을 빌려 공장이나 아파트 등 에너지 사용자에게 에너지 절약시설을 지어주고 에너지를 줄인양만큼 투자비를 회수해 간다. 고유가가 계속되면서 에너지절약 전문기업인 ESCO 단위 사업규모가 점차 대형화되고 있다. ESCO 투자실적은 1998년 이후 에너지절약 시설 개체 사업의 급속한 증가에 힘입어 매년 급격히 성장하고 있다. 최근에는 2천억원대의 시장규모를 가지고 2005년에는 건당 평균 9.1억원이 지원된 것으로 나타났다. 에너지관리공단 자금지원팀의 자료에 의하면 ESCO투자사업 자금지원은 1993~1998년 197건에 480억원이 지원됐으나 2005년에는 202건에 1,829억원이 지원된 것으로 나타났다. 지난 2006년 9월 말 현재 ESCO투자사업 자금지원은 106건에 1,020억원이 대출 은행에 추천된 것으로 알려졌다. 또한 에스코 사업분야가 조명기기·보일러 등 단순설비 교체에서 열병합발전소·냉난방설비, 공정개선 및 폐열회수 등 복합설비 쪽으로 확대되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 에너지 소비가 큰 화학 철강 제지 등 산업체, 대형병원, 산업단지 등이 새 에너지 절감 시스템을 도입하면 에너지 효율성 개선에 효과적인 사업이다. 본지는 지난호에 ESCO사업 현황과 투자사례를 게재하고, 이번호에는 ESCO사업 지원시책과 외국의 ESCO활동 현황 및 국내의 ESCO 투자사례를 게재할 계획이다.

The purpose of this study was to improve the problems of the voltaic cell described in the science textbooks of secondary schools. For this purpose, the contents of science textbooks which are related to the voltaic cell were analyzed and the problems which were not explained clearly by theorems were tried to be explained by experiments, and lastly sug-gestions were made toward the improvements regarding the voltaic cell in the science textbooks. The findings are that there are problems on the ways of ensuring whether the voltaic cell operates properly as a chemical battery, on the explanation of why the hydrogen bubbles form at the zinc electrode, on the cell potential, on the unification of the electrode terminology used, and on the mention of the current. Solutions to the problems except the cell potential were suggested. According to the experiment, the theoretical potential was calculated by considering the potentials of redox reactions at the two electrodes of the cell and by taking into account the characteristics of the electrodes such as the work function, ionization energy, stan-dard reduction potential, and electronegativity.The cell potential of the voltaic cell is explained by several factors. In the improved version of the textbook's introduction section to the voltaic cell, it is necessary to describe the voltaic cell his-torically.For the conceptual section, it should be explained in terms of the Daniel cell.

The term mycoherbicide started in 1970, but its interest heightened due to increase costs of chemical herbicides. A classical biocontrol agent is expected to become a permanent part of its new environment and do no harm to it. Contemporary biological control agent(BCA) must be produced by artificial culture and could be applied like chemical herbicides over weeds. BCA is different from the classical approach in that it released through natural spread. To date 26 species of fungi are used as classical BCA against 26 species of weeds in seven countries. There are a number of examples of pathogens attacking non-target plants. But through risk assessments which include understanding the taxonomy, biology and ecology, the target and non-target species, it will be safe to introduce of exotic pathogens to control weeds. But pathogens have not been successfully used in practice. Many mycoherbicides show potential in laboratories, but are ineffective in the field and not consistent from year to year or field to field. There is also a lack of understanding humidity, dew formation and temperature and their effects on suppression of weeds by plant pathogens. Potential pathogen must be selected as a BCA. Previous studies suggest that these pathogens must (1) produce abundant and durable inoculum in artifical culture, (2) be genetically stable and weed specific and (3) kill weeds in control. A granular preparation of mycoherbicide into sodium alginate is lighter than liquids and less bulky than organic matter. Gel forms have also been used.
