An Introductory Course In Summer Field Biology, Virginia Jeffries
An Introductory Course In Summer Field Biology, Virginia Jeffries
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
For more than a quarter of a century, the writer has been sharing science experiences in field biology with students - kindergarten through grade twelve - in the public schools of Iowa. This experience in teaching science to a wide variety of age groups, together with observations of student interests in science over the years have led the writer to believe as do Benton and Werner in their book Principles of Field Biology and Ecology when they say that "The world of nature is too great to encompass in a single book or a single lifetime; but no study is …

Resource Heritage And Conservation Education, Arnold O. Haugen
Resource Heritage And Conservation Education, Arnold O. Haugen
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Good conservation involves wise use of resources. Consideration must be given to long-time use by people of both this and future generations. In some cases good conservation dictates that we make only limited or no use of a particular resource. Examples of the latter are Iowa's few remnant native prairie areas and relatively undisturbed forest areas. Iowa's resources also include its soils, water, woodlots, wildlife, fishes, and geological, paleontological and historical sites. Availability of Iowa resources for future use will depend on how we manage to use or abuse them today.
