Frontiers In Physical Science, William R. Savage
Frontiers In Physical Science, William R. Savage
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
With the fast pace and rapid development of physical science, it is possible for the student to believe that no new problems remain which will require his attention. One may come to the conclusion that no challenging problems remain or that the challenges of today will be solved tomorrow. It is important to regard physical science as a human endeavor with a .future and broad scope. The frontiers exist and are easily described and recognized in all areas.

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

"What Does Membership Mean To The Elementary Teacher?", Gordon Wagner
"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?"

Book Review (Secrets Of The Nucleus, By Joseph S. Levinger)
Book Review (Secrets Of The Nucleus, By Joseph S. Levinger)
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
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
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.

This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn
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.

Rationale For Sequence Of High School Science Courses: Argument For Change, James M. Moulton
Rationale For Sequence Of High School Science Courses: Argument For Change, James M. Moulton
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In this time of rapidly evolving curricula, it is, I fear, redundant and presumptuous for a professor of biology to comment upon secondary school education. This is particularly so if he lacks experience in the problems of secondary school administration and teaching as does the present author. The problems of adequate preparation and appealing to student interests that one encounters at the college and university levels among relatively highly selected students are magnified many, many times at the high school level.
The Overhead Projector As An Aid To Laboratory Instruction, Larry L. Schenken
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.

During Thanksgiving vacation an Iowa delegation led by Professor Robert Yager, Vice-President and Convention Chairman, and Gerald H. Krockover, Chairman, Junior High Science Section, attended the annual convention of the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers at the Sheraton-Jefferson Hotel in St. Louis.
Flexible-Modular Scheduling With The Slow Learner, Eugene Balk
Flexible-Modular Scheduling With The Slow Learner, Eugene Balk
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
At Mason City High School this year something new has been added in the biology curriculum. It is part of the New Design, better known as Phase II Flex. Approximately 160 sophomores are in the program and are known as low achievers for various reasons. One of the reasons is that they are no longer interested in school. The lack of interest may be due to the traditional school day (fifty-five minutes, six periods a day) or to the fact that the students have never achieved success in anything they have attempted in school.
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.
Twenty-Five Years As A Starter?, Warren Classon
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.

An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen
An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Often in a study of the cell and its cellular processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, assimilation, and growth, biology students find it difficult to acquire an adequate idea of how these living processes interact. Synthesis of these separate processes into an organized whole is even more difficult to comprehend. This paper describes an analogy between a factory and the cell that has been found effective as a classroom discussion technique to more clearly illustrate what the cell must do to maintain itself and to divide.

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.
