A Simple Machines Lab For Seventh Grade Students, Peter H. Sweedy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Having taught physical science for two years at the high school level, my new assignment to teach seventh grade science was met with mixed emotions. I had heard that junior high students were very energetic (mostly for mischief) and were very limited in learning ability, due to a low reading level and a lack of mathematical skills. I know I had also wondered, like many of you in high school and college teaching, just why did high school age students have such poor concepts of motion, energy, light, sound and graph interpretation and use.

Open Letter To Science Teachers: Iowa Science, Engineering And Humanities Symposium, Ronald D. Townsend
Open Letter To Science Teachers: Iowa Science, Engineering And Humanities Symposium, Ronald D. Townsend
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Early in the 1971-72 academic year, letters describing the tenth annual Iowa Science, Engineering and Humanities Symposium were sent to all high school science teachers in Iowa. Letters were also sent to schools in western Illinois that had participated in symposia in previous years. The letters delineated symposium activities such as: (1) renowned speakers presenting recent and future interactions between science and society; (2) visits to university research laboratories; ( 3) student papers on their own research projects; (4) personal interviews with professors to discuss future research and careers; (5) concurrent sessions with leading scientists presenting their present research endeavors; …
Lightning
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Lightning supposedly does not strike twice, but once is too much for the more than 100 humans and thousands of animals that die each year from lightning bolts. University of Wisconsin-Madison electrical engineer Theodore Bernstein told scientists gathered at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference recently how electricity affects living things.

A Comparison Of Girls' Achievement In Unisexual And Bisexual Physics Classes, Robert L. Hare
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A battle cry heard for the past few years is, "Why have physics enrollments not increased?" There have been many possible solutions to the problem, and many of them have had some success. For example, the Physical Science Study Committee and Harvard Project Physics have done much in creating interest in physics and thus have helped to increase physics enrollment. Also, the emphasis on laboratory experiences and the increase in audiovisual aids have contributed in making the physics classroom more enticing. It is the writer's opinion that a possible source of physics students might come from those of the female …

The Planetariums Unlimited Division of Viewlex, Inc., has just introduced the new Mark IIA Planetarium. Offering the features of accuracy and flexibility of "major" capability planetariums at a fraction of the cost, the Mark IIA makes it possible for schools, colleges and museums to afford a sophisticated planetarium, which up to now they could not consider for economic reasons.
University Of Wisconsin News
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Scientists tend to be cold, unemotional people. They cannot appreciate the beauty of nature, and scientific truths once established never change--true or false? These are a few of the popular stereotypes a recent University of Wisconsin-Madison survey tested.
