Experiments will be developed to illustrate the use of laser                    techniques in demonstrating and understanding chemical                          principles.  Emphasis will be placed on the use of a helium-neon                laser source which is inexpensive, safe, and readily available.                 These experiments are being designed for use in the classroom or                for lecture demonstrations or for use by highly motivated high                  school students or beginning undergraduate chemistry students.                  Although the use of lasers to demonstrate optical phenomena is                  fairly well advanced, their counterpart in chemical  applications               remains in a highly primitive state, even though laser techniques               are revolutionizing chemical research.  Funds will allow for the                exploration of suitable laser chemistry experiments for the                     secondary school and beginning undergraduate curriculum.  Simple,               "hands-on" experiments will be produced for student use under the               supervision and guidance of a teacher.                                                                                                                          For the most part, the science curricula of the secondary                       schools is in serious need of revision.  This project shows the                 way to bringing new technologies into the secondary school                      chemistry program and provides a model for similar action in                    biology and physics programs.  This project will also provide                   useful and current experiments for use by talented and motivated                students.
