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
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?"

Letter To The Editor, William W. Berg
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
I feel moved to call to your attention an item from Mr. Jackson's article in the February issue of The Iowa Science Teachers' Journal, "A Method of Teaching Evolution in High School." Though it is not the major area of the article's discussion, the author's treatment of the Earth's origin irritated me.

Fortifying Laboratory Inquiry Through The Use Of Scientific Articles, Bernard W. Benson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Using scientific articles in teaching is in itself no innovation. Baumel and Berger (1965) provided an excellent approach to this task. I find no argument with the format they proposed. However, I do question their statement which follows concerning student outcomes from such experiences.

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.

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.
