Open Letter From The Executive Secretary, Robert W. Hanson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
One year ago this space was occupied by an open letter from then President Martin Grant. Dr. Grant is no longer with us, having succumbed June 28 from multiple myeoloma after a long and painful illness. His contributions to the objectives of the Academy through a lifetime of scholarship will stand as a memorial to a great man.

Frontiers In Physical Science, William R. Savage
Frontiers In Physical Science, William R. Savage
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
With the fast pace and rapid development of physical science, it is possible for the student to believe that no new problems remain which will require his attention. One may come to the conclusion that no challenging problems remain or that the challenges of today will be solved tomorrow. It is important to regard physical science as a human endeavor with a .future and broad scope. The frontiers exist and are easily described and recognized in all areas.
Flexible-Modular Scheduling With The Slow Learner, Eugene Balk
Flexible-Modular Scheduling With The Slow Learner, Eugene Balk
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
At Mason City High School this year something new has been added in the biology curriculum. It is part of the New Design, better known as Phase II Flex. Approximately 160 sophomores are in the program and are known as low achievers for various reasons. One of the reasons is that they are no longer interested in school. The lack of interest may be due to the traditional school day (fifty-five minutes, six periods a day) or to the fact that the students have never achieved success in anything they have attempted in school.
Rationale For Sequence Of High School Science Courses: Argument For Change, James M. Moulton
Rationale For Sequence Of High School Science Courses: Argument For Change, James M. Moulton
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In this time of rapidly evolving curricula, it is, I fear, redundant and presumptuous for a professor of biology to comment upon secondary school education. This is particularly so if he lacks experience in the problems of secondary school administration and teaching as does the present author. The problems of adequate preparation and appealing to student interests that one encounters at the college and university levels among relatively highly selected students are magnified many, many times at the high school level.
Writing And Evaluating The Laboratory Report, David N. West
Writing And Evaluating The Laboratory Report, David N. West
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
All too often the time-consuming duties of classroom instruction cause laboratory evaluation to take on a minor role. Publishers also have added to this dilemma by burgeoning the market with fill-in-the-blank type laboratory manuals. This paper shows how proper orientation of the student in his laboratory reporting encourages communication skills that include the ability to interpret, analyze, and transmit facts and ideas graphically and in writing. A cognitive approach to the evaluation of these communicative skills may not eliminate paper grading but it will do much toward making it briefer and more productive.
Elementary Science Workshops
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The State Department of Public Instruction and the University of Northern Iowa are cooperatively sponsoring a series of elementary science workshops during the academic year 1968- 1969.

Implications Of An Elective Sophomore Ecology Course, Lynn W. Glass
Implications Of An Elective Sophomore Ecology Course, Lynn W. Glass
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
What does your high school do to provide for an interesting and enriching experience in science for the average student? Since the beginning of PSSC in 1956 all too many of us have been guilty of neglecting the high school general education science program.
Films

Book Review (Secrets Of The Nucleus, By Joseph S. Levinger)
Book Review (Secrets Of The Nucleus, By Joseph S. Levinger)
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Atomic physics reaches the high school level with Secrets of the Nucleus, a Vistas of Science book by Joseph S. Levinger. Dr. Levinger, Professor of Physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, taps his years of teaching experience to communicate the excitement of nuclear research, often through simple experiments and calculations that are well within the capability of science students in today's high schools.

Science Education In The Middle Or Junior High School Grades, Robert H. Carleton
Science Education In The Middle Or Junior High School Grades, Robert H. Carleton
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The following article has been condensed from a review paper which Mr. Carleton prepared as a basis for a seminar which he was invited to lead at the Third Annual International Curriculum Conference in Oxford, England, in September 1967. Mr. Carleton's editorial in this issue of TST was inspired by the program of the Curriculum Conference.

A Naturalist At Large: Skin-In, Skin-Out, Marston Bates
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Each semester I arrange a seminar of a dozen or so students who meet one evening a week in the living room of the house. I try to select students with different interests, from different departments of the university, with the idea of getting to know a small but varied sample of the student body. We decide on some topic for discussion during the semester, but whatever the official topic, two subjects - education and sex - always come up, and always generate heated arguments.

A Membership Fairy Tale, Doris M. Timpano
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
From fairy tale to fact? It can be done! You, the NSTA member, can make the fiction of today turn into the practice of tomorrow through your eagerness to spread the advantages of membership in NSTA to other educators from the kindergarten teacher to the college administrator.

Can A Young Man Whose Mind Is On Girls, Booze, Skiing, And High-Class Parties Win The Nobel Prize?, Peter Farb
Can A Young Man Whose Mind Is On Girls, Booze, Skiing, And High-Class Parties Win The Nobel Prize?, Peter Farb
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The Double Helix is a brief story of the structure of the genetic material DNA. As such, it is exceedingly valuable to the historian of science. But another, somewhat irreverent aspect of the book, to be discussed later in this review, makes it an important document for the general reader as well and one that deserves wide reading.

This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn
This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Getting to know science teachers about the state is somewhat of a problem for the teacher in smaller Iowa high schools. I suspect that this is a problem of communication rather than one of design by those of us in the less urban areas. When it was suggested that the Iowa Science Teachers' Journal be an avenue for establishing contact I was at first reticent about telling of myself.

A Study Of Terminal And Advanced High School Science Courses In The State Of Iowa, Richard W. Gates
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Information for the study was obtained through the use of the facilities of the Iowa Educational Information Center at The University of Iowa and through direct correspondence with the schools. Terminal science courses are those courses for non-college bound students, in addition to general science, biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics.

"What Does Membership Mean To The Elementary Teacher?", Gordon Wagner
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
At a recent in-service meeting in our school, an elementary teacher told me, "We have specialists in our school system who come into my classroom to teach art, music, and physical education. No one helps me teach science! What chance do I have keeping up with the changes in science when I only have a few credits in the first place?"
