A Philosophy For Present-Day Education, James L. Kelly
A Philosophy For Present-Day Education, James L. Kelly
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
It seems that public education is being attacked more and more concerning the lack of quality education. In part, what is being challenged are the methods of teaching children, governed by an established and practiced philosophy. Many school systems don't operate with a stated philosophy and therefore cannot implement such. Moreover, it would seem unlikely that one could find two teachers, in such a system, who would be teaching with the same philosophical objectives in mind. In short, there is no consistent "practice what you preach" format for teachers to follow in many school systems.

Quick Crystals, Sil Crespo
Quick Crystals, Sil Crespo
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
When teaching about minerals, there is no way that you can omit the topic of crystals. Usually, we either go to our mineral cases and take out examples of crystals to pass around, or we grow our own. The only problem with these methods is that both take time. With the former, we are looking at crystals "after the fact." With the latter, we lost the interest of some students because it takes too long to grow crystals from a solution.

A Use For A Throwaway, Dennis Kingery
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A small vial or test tube plugged with cotton makes a very satisfactory watering device for caged insects. A significant drawback, however, is the difficulty in preventing the tube from rolling whenever the cage is moved. Setting the tube in a lump of clay is often suggested, but the clay soon becomes quite soiled.
