Development And Differentiation In The Water Mold, Blastocladiella Emersonii, David H. Griffin
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The water molds, aquatic members of the fungi known as phycomycetes, are a richly varied group of organisms. Simple in structure, their life histories are truly amazing, often belying this simplicity.
Why Teach Earth Science In Our Secondary Schools?, Raymon E. Bisque
Why Teach Earth Science In Our Secondary Schools?, Raymon E. Bisque
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Inspection of recent changes in science teaching at the secondary school level reveals two distinct trends: a rejection of outmoded general science courses and an increase in laboratory emphasis.
Report Of An Audio-Tutorial Learning Environment At The University Of Northern Iowa, Alan R. Orr
Report Of An Audio-Tutorial Learning Environment At The University Of Northern Iowa, Alan R. Orr
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Recognizing the need for innovation in methodology, Postlethwait (1964-1965) has developed an integrated experience approach to learning called audio-tutorial. The Department of Science at the University of Northern Iowa, after investigating available data, initiated the use of an audio-tutorial method for part of its general botany course in the spring of 1966.

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

Union Slough - An Outdoor Classroom, Mary Rosaire Heinowski
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Biology teachers frequently can make use of community resources to develop nature appreciation and stress its recreational value. In Kossuth County, Union Slough National Wildlife Refuge gives the schools in the vicinity an excellent opportunity to do this if used as an outdoor classroom.

Higher Education In 1980, Richard M. Harbeck
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Any reasonable prediction of future changes in higher education must necessarily be based on observations and interpretations of what is taking place today in society in general and in education in particular. The following observations provide some of the rationale for points to be made later.

The Commission On Undergraduate Education In The Biological Sciences, Richard V. Bovbjerg
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
When colleagues find that I am a member of the Commission on Undergraduate Education in the Biological Sciences (CUEBS) they invariably have one or more questions about the organization. How did it all start? Is anything happening? Where will it all end? The purpose of this paper is to assess these questions.

Dynamic Observation Of Cells, James Hungerford
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
If you are tired of "dry lab" investigations you are looking for better laboratory procedures and if you are interested in trying to let the student inquire, figure and question the problem as well as the answer, this report will inform you of another aspect of the inquiry method of learning.
Testing Frequency And Junior High Students, Lynn W. Glass
Testing Frequency And Junior High Students, Lynn W. Glass
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
As a matter of habit I have always given a twelve to fifteen question quiz to my junior high life science students every five to seven classroom days. This was always done on the untested assumption that a more frequent test versus a test given after three to four weeks of study would tend to motivate the student, serve as a learning device, and lessen the amount of cramming and test anxiety experienced by the student.
