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.

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

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 Jan 1968

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 Jan 1968

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 Jan 1968

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 Jan 1968

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.

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 Jan 1968

"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?"

Letter To The Editor, William W. Berg Jan 1968

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 Jan 1968

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.

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.
