The Nuclear Arms Race And The Science Curriculum, James Cottingham
The Nuclear Arms Race And The Science Curriculum, James Cottingham
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
This paper proposes some ideas about the appropriateness and value of the study of nuclear weapons in the school curriculum in general and the science curriculum in particular. I will discuss some ideas that have been tried in this area by me and by others as well as some proposals that could be tried in the future. In addition, I will reflect on things we should be doing as science teachers in regard to nuclear weapons issues.

Paleobotany is the study of fossilized plant material, and includes the study of fossilized spores and pollen. Many plants during the Pennsylvanian Period were fossilized during coal formation in permineralizecl peat deposits, forming coal balls. Coal balls contain numerous fossils of plant fragments, including pollen and spores that are preserved in meticulous detail. The tools and processes required for the study of microfossils in coal balls are inexpensive and can be found in most high school laboratories. Two methods of coal ball study will be described in this paper. The first method involves the study of microfossils through the preparation …
