Some Trends In College Physics And Their Reflections On High School Physics, J. E. Kasper, L. D. Flansburg Jan 1967

Some Trends In College Physics And Their Reflections On High School Physics, J. E. Kasper, L. D. Flansburg

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

We are much struck with the desirable results that follow from introducing brief discussions of modern physics topics during the course of ordinary, relatively routine first courses in physics for college freshmen and sophomores. We propose in this paper that teachers of secondary physics courses might well also consider the incorporation of such discussions into their courses.

The High School Teacher Lag: A Problem For The Profession, Ben A. Green Jr. Jan 1967

The High School Teacher Lag: A Problem For The Profession, Ben A. Green Jr.

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The problem of inadequate numbers of high school physics teachers and the poor preparation of many of those who do teach physics is one of the most serious problems which faces our profession. The CCP has activated a panel (the Panel on the Preparation of Physics Teachers) to give full-time attention to this problem and to recommend courses of action to the Commission. The following is a report by CCP Staff Physicist Ben A. Green, Jr., on leave from Western Reserve University, who recently visited several institutions which have been unusually successful in producing high school teachers of physics.

Why Teach Fungi In High School?, David Mclaughlin Jan 1967

Why Teach Fungi In High School?, David Mclaughlin

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Student and teacher alike should be more aware of fungi. The reasons I state for this assumption are: fungi are interesting; they play an important role in human affairs; fungi are associated with many areas of biological sciences; they are easily utilized in the classroom; and they are easy to obtain and work with.
