Safety In Iowa Science Programs: A Status Report, Jack Gerlovich, Frank Starr
Safety In Iowa Science Programs: A Status Report, Jack Gerlovich, Frank Starr
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
School science laboratories are active sites of learning. They may also be areas of potential danger from fire, explosives, caustic chemicals, poisons, noxious fumes, and projectiles. Science teachers are charged with the responsibility of establishing an environment in which students shall have relevant, practical science experiences. In addition, certain segments of the subject matter will require that students develop particular attitudes, knowledge, and skills. Inevitably students will periodically be exposed to potentially dangerous situations.

Society, Science, And The Scientific Enterprise, Henry Veldhuis
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Numerous developments in science and technology have moved man to the interfaces between science and government, science and religion, science and economics, and others. The necessity of functioning along these interfaces suggests that science education should include a commitment to the development of the scientific literacy necessary to understand the relationships between science and society.

Stimulating Interest In Iowa Secondary School Science, Jack Gerlovich, Joe Moore
Stimulating Interest In Iowa Secondary School Science, Jack Gerlovich, Joe Moore
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
America, today, is a highly technological society, based heavily upon knowledge of scientific concepts and principles. Without knowledge in basic science, and its processes, living with and understanding technology cannot be accomplished. More specifically, alienation of the lay public from the scientific community and scientific endeavors may result.

What Is The Universe, And Why Is It Doing These Strange Things?, George L. Murphy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
1979 marks the fiftieth anniversary of a major advance in man's attempt to understand the overall structure of the physical universe. It was in 1929 that Hubble announced his discovery of the expansion of the universe. Ever since that time, astronomers have been finding evidence that the entire universe has been evolving, and have been attempting to adjust their view of the world accordingly.

Elementary Science Teaching With Little Or No Equipment, Claison Groff
Elementary Science Teaching With Little Or No Equipment, Claison Groff
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Elementary teachers seem to be ill at ease in the classroom when teaching science. Most elementary teachers tell me that they feel insecure when dealing with the laboratory aspects because they have had little training in the subject area. Most problems seem to center around activities which take time to prepare and equipment which most elementary classrooms lack or need to borrow from the Science Department. Most equipment and supplies are too expensive for any elementary curriculum to have on hand for use once or twice a year. Many elementary teachers teach strictly from the book and do not get …
