Letter To The Editor, William W. Berg
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
I feel moved to call to your attention an item from Mr. Jackson's article in the February issue of The Iowa Science Teachers' Journal, "A Method of Teaching Evolution in High School." Though it is not the major area of the article's discussion, the author's treatment of the Earth's origin irritated me.
Fortifying Laboratory Inquiry Through The Use Of Scientific Articles, Bernard W. Benson
Fortifying Laboratory Inquiry Through The Use Of Scientific Articles, Bernard W. Benson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Using scientific articles in teaching is in itself no innovation. Baumel and Berger (1965) provided an excellent approach to this task. I find no argument with the format they proposed. However, I do question their statement which follows concerning student outcomes from such experiences.

Let's Teach Geology As The Science Of The Earth, Chalmer J. Roy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The past decade has been marked by spectacular events in science and technology. The launching of Sputnik I in October 1957 was followed by public hysteria in the United States over the low estate of our education in science.

Open Letter From The Ists President, Richard L. Sweeney
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The Iowa Science Teachers Section of the Iowa Academy is growing and is becoming very active in the Science teaching of Iowa. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who in the past have made the Science Teachers Section an organization in which a science teacher can become active in local, district, and state meetings.
An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen
An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Often in a study of the cell and its cellular processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, assimilation, and growth, biology students find it difficult to acquire an adequate idea of how these living processes interact. Synthesis of these separate processes into an organized whole is even more difficult to comprehend. This paper describes an analogy between a factory and the cell that has been found effective as a classroom discussion technique to more clearly illustrate what the cell must do to maintain itself and to divide.

A Method Of Teaching Evolution In High School, Jerome J. Jackson
A Method Of Teaching Evolution In High School, Jerome J. Jackson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A little over a century ago, Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin formally presented the concept of evolution to the world. Since Darwin's publication of The Origin of Species, the theory of evolutionism has been attacked from various quarters, primarily by individuals without scientific backgrounds.

Cba, Chems, Traditional: The Dilemma, Verne A. Troxel
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Since the advent of the CHEMS and CBA chemistry materials, many teachers have been in a state of confusion as to whether they should use these new materials. Perhaps there is now, or soon will be, adequate research available to you so you can make your choice between the two new programs and the more conventional approach to chemistry.

Raising Japanese Quail In The Laboratory, Kashmiri L. Arora
Raising Japanese Quail In The Laboratory, Kashmiri L. Arora
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Within a few years, the use of Coturniz coturnix japonica, popularly known as Japanese quail, as a laboratory research animal has increased tremendously in the United States and also abroad. Currently, a variety of laboratories conducting investigations on different aspects of biological and related areas are using this bird as an experimental animal. We have learned from its use in both individual and class experiments that it is also a very useful animal for classroom experimentation.

Acceptance Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus By Established Tomato Root Cultures, Valerie Halverson
Acceptance Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus By Established Tomato Root Cultures, Valerie Halverson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
With Haberlandt's idea of cultivating individual cells in vitro, cell tissue culture began in 1902. Sporadic work was done in this area through the ensuing years. However, it was not until White's cultivation of tomato roots for an indefinite time span in 1934 that culture study became significant. Most work has been oriented toward the study of the growth and function of the cell. The research has included various nutritional and environmental studies. The proposition of this research is to use established technique for culturing tomato roots in order to go a step further, and use these cultures to study …

The Readability Of Bscs Textbooks, James C. Slaughter
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Since they appeared, the BSCS materials have been widely acclaimed by science educators, and justly so. They represent a contribution toward the movement away from the traditional teaching patterns and toward the modern approach to teaching of science, that is as inquiry.

Minutes Of The Meeting Of The Flat Society Of Lower Speight Avenue, O. T. Hayward
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
This is a review of an effort-largely experimental-to improve the introductory geology course at Baylor University by involving the student in actual research in the teaching process and in geology. An effort has been made, and will be expanded, to remove most of the artificial restraints imposed by formal lecture-laboratory courses.

The Overhead Projector As An Aid To Laboratory Instruction, Larry L. Schenken
The Overhead Projector As An Aid To Laboratory Instruction, Larry L. Schenken
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In many cases the science teacher overlooks the possibility of using the overhead projector during laboratory sessions. Projectors often are covered with dust jackets and shoved into a comer like some unwanted piece of old furniture as soon as a lab activity is started. With a bit of planning these machines may become an integral part of almost any laboratory experience.

Twenty-Five Years As A Starter?, Warren Classon
Twenty-Five Years As A Starter?, Warren Classon
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The National Science Teachers Association will celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday early in 1969. Your reaction to this announcement of a Silver Symposium event may be somewhat passive. A twenty-fifth birthday, like any anniversary, really has little meaning unless it includes achievement. A look at something of NSTA's history and activities should determine the significance of the event.
