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

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

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 …

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.

Junior Academy News

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

We have a new IJAS constitution and a new central headquarters. All members of an appointed Iowa Junior Academy of Science Constitutional Revision Committee have been very active this summer. Dr. Robert Yager, professor of science education at The University of Iowa, was the busy chairman.

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.

Casmt Convention A Huge Success

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

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.

Early Ontogenesis In Chickens - Some Quantitative Measurements, Kashmiri L. Arora

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Developing bird's eggs have been a material of choice for the workers investigating various physical and chemical phenomena associated with development since the turn of the twentieth century. Very recently, attention has been focused on the examination and elucidation of the roles played by genetics and various extrinsic environmental factors in the development of early embryos.

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.

The Performance Of Grade Xi Students Of Saskatchewan (Canada) And Iowa (U.S.A.) On Two Of The Iowa Tests Of Educational Development, Kamal Dev Verma

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this investigation was to study the performance of grade XI students of Saskatchewan (Canada) and Iowa (U. S. A.) on two of the Iowa Tests of Educational Development: Test 3, Correctness and Appropriateness of Expression; and Test 4, Ability to Do Quantitative Thinking. The interpretation of the performances involved examination of several related educational factors.

The sample comprising 543 grade XI students was drawn from twelve selected Saskatchewan high schools.

In each of the twelve participating high schools, the principal arranged for the administration of the two ITED tests and the Student Questionnaire: Form A. In addition, …

Evaluation Of College-Level Instruction In Freshman Composition; Part Ii, Richard Braddock, Charles R. Statler

Faculty Publications

To supplement an experiment at the University of Northern Iowa on the effectiveness of college-level instruction in freshman composition; the University of Iowa conducted its own experiment on the evaluation of freshman composition. This experiment was designed to determine (1) which method of rating papers is more reliable--the "general impression" method of the Educational Testing Service or the "analytical" method used at the University of Iowa; (2) if a more significant measure of writing quality is obtained when the better of two papers; rather than merely one; is used as a criterion; and (3) if the writing performance of students …

Teaching Beginning Concepts In Mathematics, Mildred Dick Pierce

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to investigate concept development as it relates to the teaching of mathematics in the kindergarten, and to propose a program of activities to be used in developing mathematical concepts with kindergarten children. Basic to determining the strategy to be used in teaching children is a consideration of the background of information the children possess when the teaching begins, and the background of information and the attitudes of the teachers who teach. Since any program which proposes that a different type of learning experience be used implies criticism of the methods now in use, it …
