"Fore" Physics, Rick Zehr
"Fore" Physics, Rick Zehr
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
I have developed an activity which I would like to share, in the hope that it might prove educational as well as enjoyable. In Chapter 1 of the Project Physics there is a brief history of photography, which in itself is quite interesting, but one picture specifically lends itself to additional study. The photograph of the golfer provides the basis for this activity. The students are asked to work in small groups to determine the speed of the ball.

How Quiet Is Your Classroom?, John Milton
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making.
Reflections Of A Life Fellow, James Hungerford
Reflections Of A Life Fellow, James Hungerford
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
There was a Hungerford in the first graduating class of Iowa State University. One of my grandfathers was a former Iowa College president, founder of Blue Cross, president of one of Iowa's larger hospitals and held a doctorate in Humanities. My other grandfather was a farmer and all of his five sons and two daughters were either educators or professors or farmers or combinations thereof. With these roots, I have a feeling of pride in my heritage, a deep-seated affection for the State of Iowa and an unshakable belief in the value of science and education.

The Embryonic Teacher: A Beginning Science Teacher In A Self-Paced Classroom, Kenneth W. Thompson
The Embryonic Teacher: A Beginning Science Teacher In A Self-Paced Classroom, Kenneth W. Thompson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Most beginning science teachers enter schools in the fall with fervor and dedication. Those entering a self-paced classroom typically will find it to be a center of bustling activity with students working on a number of diverse activities. The first year of science teaching is a time of confrontation, of shock, and of conflict. The beginning science teacher must act. Out of this need to act comes a great amount of activity, some effective and some ineffective. The beginning science teacher in a self-paced classroom encounters problems because he is a first year science teacher and because there are problems …

Self-Paced Experiences: A Participant's Daily Log, Jay B. Thorniley
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
As part of my educational requirements, prior to student teaching, at the University of Northern Iowa, I was required to participate in a self-paced classroom. The following is a daily log of my experiences in a class of 18 students in the course, Self-Pacing Biology Experiences (SPBE), at the Malcolm Price Laboratory School. These notes, taken over six weeks, should prove helpful to those teachers considering adoption of self-pacing programs.

The Potential Of Wild Plants As Food Resources, J. R. K. Robson
The Potential Of Wild Plants As Food Resources, J. R. K. Robson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The modern world is so full of scientific wonders that we often forget to look back in history and recognize landmarks that were just as significant as the discovery of the transistor, penicillin, or the laser beam. The history of our present day food is a prime example of a phenomenon that is considered to be too mundane to be taken seriously. Yet, thousands of years ago man made a scientific discovery concerning food that made possible the growth of settlements that became our cities.

Investigating Iowa's Weeds, Paul G. Jantzen
Investigating Iowa's Weeds, Paul G. Jantzen
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The term "weed" is often defined as a plant out of place. A. C. Martin has complained that this definition reflects human bias and that pest plants are out of place only with respect to man's immediate purpose. In nature's scheme, they often serve useful functions such as providing food for wildlife throughout the growing season and covering barren soil, thus preventing soil erosion. Judging from their competitive success with many so-called desirable species, they are anything but out of place.

Implications Of Piaget For The Everyday Laboratory Experiences Of Children, Thomas E. Allen
Implications Of Piaget For The Everyday Laboratory Experiences Of Children, Thomas E. Allen
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In recent years, we have seen a great increase of interest in the work of Jean Piaget. Educational psychology courses and magazines for teachers feature frequent discussions about the Swiss psychologist and his research. Such discussions, however, often dwell on his descriptions of the stages of intellectual development and the cognitive abilities characteristic of each stage. Such an emphasis on classification is unfortunate because it encourages categorization of children while diverting our attention from the more important aspects of Piaget's discoveries - Piaget has analyzed the learning difficulties of many children and how children learn and, by implication, has shown …
