Open Letter To Science Teachers, Clifford G. Mccollum
Open Letter To Science Teachers, Clifford G. Mccollum
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Our responsibilities as science educators have never been greater than they are today." I know personally that such a statement has been made regularly since the 1930s, and I suspect it was commonplace some before that. These responsibilities have had various emphases identified as the reason for their being. The emphases have included such applications as those made to industry, engineering, medicine, warfare, and space exploration.
A Comparison Of The Attainment Of The Common Objectives Of The Cba, Shems, And Modern Chemistry Courses As Reflected In Student Performance On Various Objective Measures, Verne A. Troxel
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In the February, 1968, Iowa Science Teachers' Journal the writer outlined a study in which students in Iowa and Illinois who were utilizing the CBA, CHEMS, and Modern Chemistry (MC) chemistry materials were to be studied to determine if these courses were meeting their common objectives equally.

Teachers are constantly being reminded of the importance of making evaluations of student achievement. Evaluations should be made both for the measurement of the progress of the pupil and for determining the effectiveness of the teacher himself. Methods, tools, and techniques for making these evaluations are topics of common interest and continuous discussion in the teaching fraternity.

A Study In Philosophy And Goals Of Science Education, Dale Bunsen
A Study In Philosophy And Goals Of Science Education, Dale Bunsen
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
An inquiry into the philosophical area of any human endeavor results in the framing of "why" questions. Why study science at all?, naturally becomes one of these questions which has great relevance to the field of science education. "How" and "what" questions generally use up most of the science educator's time and efforts. This is not an attempt to negate the importance of "how" and "what" questions (they are the stuff of science); rather, it is an attempt to determine what the case for science is in our educational process.
Concerns Of The Articulation Committee, R. J. Vanden Branden, Robert Franke
Concerns Of The Articulation Committee, R. J. Vanden Branden, Robert Franke
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Communications between the various educational institutions in Iowa is and should be the primary need which is satisfied by Articulation Committee activity. A panel, composed of Paul Tweeton of the State Department of Public Instruction, Robert Franke, and Tom Hendricksen representing two-year and four-year colleges, respectively, presented various views related to better communications and other concerns of articulation. The panel discussion was designed to provide an opportunity for dissemination of information by the panel and reception of ideas and suggestions from the audience.

Science For Students Today And Tomorrow, Robert E. Yager
Science For Students Today And Tomorrow, Robert E. Yager
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Teaching science as a body of peculiar knowledge which exists for students to learn is still a common approach in American secondary schools. This is true today even with the so-called "new" science programs and their added impetus to the idea of teaching and emphasizing the processes of science in addition to the traditional content of a given discipline. The last ten years have seen great advances. However, much more is needed before we can talk of science in in our schools that is relevant for students both presently and in the future. We have too often accepted new ideas …

The Dual Crisis In Science And Society, Barry Commoner
The Dual Crisis In Science And Society, Barry Commoner
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Our present achievements in science and technology appear to contrast vividly with our present lack of achievement in solving social problems. We can nourish a man in the supreme isolation of outer space-but we cannot adequately feed the children of Calcutta or Harlem. We hope to analyze life on other planets-but we have not yet learned to understand our own neighbors. We are attempting to live on the moon-but we cannot yet live peacefully on our own planet.

The Imbalance Of Nature, Chalmer J. Roy
The Imbalance Of Nature, Chalmer J. Roy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
On this fantastically dynamic planet, what can be the meaning of the balance of nature? The dynamics of the atmosphere, of the oceans, and of the solid earth show no signs of reaching an equilibrium, a condition of no change. Nature does not obey laws. The so-called laws of nature are human constructs, designed to explain observed relationships and phenomena.

A Summary Of A Survey Of Science Taught In Hampton Elementary Schools, Kenneth E. Moeller
A Summary Of A Survey Of Science Taught In Hampton Elementary Schools, Kenneth E. Moeller
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In 1957 the Russians put an artificial satellite into orbit. Since that time science education in the United States has been experiencing a steady change. This change has not only been in course name and content but also in new methods of science teaching. The role of the science teacher is most important in the teaching of the new science materials. The instructor must be able to guide and direct the activities of the students, not just spew forth information. Often in the past, the instructor has taught as he had been taught. Most courses now are developed along these …

A Change And A Parting: Nuffield Biology In England, Carmon Slater
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
An appreciation of the problems encountered by curriculum innovations in England cannot truly be gained without first catching a glimpse of the educational system in this country, particularly the secondary school system. The British secondary student will usually be found in one of three basic secondary schools, i.e., the traditional grammar school, the secondary modem school, or a comprehensive secondary school.

An Accurate Method For The Determination Of Surface Area, Larry L. Schenken
An Accurate Method For The Determination Of Surface Area, Larry L. Schenken
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Many times it is necessary for teachers or students to determine the surface area of irregular objects (e.g., leaves) during laboratory investigations. The usual procedure involves laboriously tracing the outline of the object on graph paper, counting the number of square units on the paper, and then adding some "fudge factor" to estimate partially encircled squares.
