Elementary Human Genetics, A Help To Teachers, Elizabeth W. Reed
Elementary Human Genetics, A Help To Teachers, Elizabeth W. Reed
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABSTRACT - Two pilot courses in human genetics, which were sponsored by the Minnesota Human Genetics League, are described. One was given in Minneapolis and one in Osseo, Minn. Each course consisted of ten two-hour class sessions, carried professional credits and was geared to the level of elementary and high school teachers, principals and special education personnel who made up the class membership.
Student Attitudes Toward Personalized Instruction At Mankato State College, Earl L. Lamont
Student Attitudes Toward Personalized Instruction At Mankato State College, Earl L. Lamont
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
A preliminary study was conducted on the Individual Personalized Instruction botany laboratory initiated at Mankato State College spring quarter of 1969. Three quarters of the IPI were compared with three quarters of traditional botany laboratory classes that were attended by students prior lo the inception of the IPI laboratory. The IPI students achieved as well as or better than the traditional botany laboratory students, according to their lecture test scores and final course grade. Student altitude was positive toward the IPI, which, was indicated by responses to a questionnaire.
Plants For Classroom Use, Elizabeth Wagner Reed
Plants For Classroom Use, Elizabeth Wagner Reed
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The importance of having living plants in the classroom is emphasized. Ways of coping with environmental problems of classroom heal and dryness are outlined, including the making of terraria. Varieties of plants found suitable for the classroom and laboratory are described.
Procedure And Structure For An Instructional Laboratory Which Supplements Research, R. S. Adams Jr.
Procedure And Structure For An Instructional Laboratory Which Supplements Research, R. S. Adams Jr.
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
This paper describes the organization of a laboratory course in Soil Chemical Analysis. Students select and pursue small research problems to gain experience in the soil analyses that are discussed in lecture and required in the laboratory. Involvement of the class in an actual research problem proved challenging to both the instructor and the class. The data obtained often supplemented current departmental research. Individual projects were found to be easier to supervise than team problems. This paper reports results of a team project examining parameters of a pot experiment. Shape of the pot, methods of watering, methods of fertilizing, and …
Comparing Laboratory Instruction Methods In Biology, John C. Coulter
Comparing Laboratory Instruction Methods In Biology, John C. Coulter
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
This investigation compares achievement of ninth grade students in biology taught by inductive laboratory experiments, by deductive laboratory exercises, and by demonstration of inductive experiments. It appears that the inductive approach produced significantly greater attainment of attitudes of science. The emphasis of this on designing experiments and analyzing the data did not distract from the ability of students to learn and apply facts and principles. None of the instructional methods tested was found to be more effective with any particular ability range. Students in laboratory classes reacted more positively to their instruction than did those taught by the demonstration method.
Scientific Approach To 4-H Food Projects, Grace Brill
Scientific Approach To 4-H Food Projects, Grace Brill
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The scientific approach to 4-H food projects resulted from the stress on science from federal extension personnel of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and from surveys and consultations with representatives of the National Science Foundation. The result has been six bulletins prepared by the extension nutritionists of the University of Minnesota for the approximately 24,000 4-H members, aged 9 to 19, enrolled in 4-H food projects in Minnesota. The scientific approach has, consequently, added the question of "why" to the traditional 4-H approach of "how-to-do-it."

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
This study was performed to determine the effects of educational motion picture treatment in learning of biological concepts from a tenth-grade biology course.
The Limits Of The Scientist's Responsibility To Communicate With Laymen, James M. Lufkin
The Limits Of The Scientist's Responsibility To Communicate With Laymen, James M. Lufkin
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The scientist's responsibility to communicate with the layman is limited first by the layman's ability to understand him, and second by the layman's "need to know." These are very real limits, and in fairness, they should always be considered carefully in any assessment of the scientist's social responsibility.

Some Possibilities For Broadening High School Programs Through Industry Participation, Edward Barnes
Some Possibilities For Broadening High School Programs Through Industry Participation, Edward Barnes
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company insulation board and paper mills, located at International Falls, have become an important potential source of education for young people. About 5 years ago Falls High School recognized that such opportunities existed, and a start was made that resulted in two co-operative science programs. These programs have been evolving ever since and, although more change is expected, they now seem firmly established.
A Comparative Study Of Wood Pulp From The Trunk, Limbs, And Roots Of The Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides), John Vernanth, Raynell Walker, Ann Johnson
A Comparative Study Of Wood Pulp From The Trunk, Limbs, And Roots Of The Quaking Aspen (Populus Tremuloides), John Vernanth, Raynell Walker, Ann Johnson
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
A three part study was conducted on a single quaking aspen tree (Populus tremuloides): ( l) the strength and other physical properties of fiberboard made from the trunk, roots, and limbs using the cold soda pulping process, (2) the strength properties of paper made from the trunk, root, and limb sections using the Kraft pulping process, and (3) a chemical analysis of the trunk, roots, and limbs. Results of these studies indicate there are significant differences in many of the properties of the three parts of the tree, and that parts of the tree other than the trunk possess useful …

Use Of Computers In Undergraduate Education, Donald H. Taranto
Use Of Computers In Undergraduate Education, Donald H. Taranto
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Over the past several years automatic digital computers have become accessible to many undergraduate students. This accessibility has given an impetus to the inclusion in the undergraduate curriculum of various aspects of computer utilization such as programming, numerical methods, and computer applications. This paper will examine some of the reasons for including such material in the undergraduate curriculum, and in the course of such examination, some of the ways in which this can be done will become evident.

Utilizatioon Of A Natural Area In Teaching Junior High School Biological Science, Warren V. Nelson
Utilizatioon Of A Natural Area In Teaching Junior High School Biological Science, Warren V. Nelson
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
It has long been suggested that biology, being the study of life, should place emphasis on living organisms. This should be especially true of junior high school study. For this reason the use of any available natural area should be exploited to the utmost. Since there is a natural area immediately adjacent to the school in which the author teaches, this study has been developed. Junior high school students in biological science courses spend much time learning to describe and identify organisms. This is an important part of this course and junior high school students usually enjoy this type of …
