Science Notes - Contribute To Chemsource
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
ChemSource is a new project designed to provide detailed support for inexperienced secondary school chemistry teachers (pre-service teachers or inservice teachers in their first three years of chemistry teaching). The two major components that will be developed, piloted, revised, tested and disseminated over the next three years are SourceBook and SourceView. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation and originated in the Society Committee on Education of the American Chemical Society. Its principal investigator is Mary Virginia Orna.
Science Notes - Could Your Computer Be A Safety Hazard?
Science Notes - Could Your Computer Be A Safety Hazard?
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The July 1990 issue of Mac World discussed the issue of display terminal safety. The evidence that display monitors emit significant radiation which may be strong enough to be a health hazard has been mounting since the early 1980's. After conducting their own tests, the publishers of MacWorld concluded that extremely low-frequency magnetic field emissions from monitors are worrisome.

Instructional Outcomes Change With Sts, Robert E. Yager
Instructional Outcomes Change With Sts, Robert E. Yager
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Ideas and approaches central to Science/Technology/Society (STS) have been introduced via the Chautauqua program in classrooms of nearly 1,000 Iowa teachers of grades 4 through 9 since 1985-86. Assessment of the results of STS instruction has been central to the effort supported by the National Science Teachers Association, the Iowa Utility Association, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the University of Iowa. Some of the emerging results demonstrate the advantages of an STS focus for school science.
Science Career Day: A Recruitment Strategy For High School Students, Sherman Lundy
Science Career Day: A Recruitment Strategy For High School Students, Sherman Lundy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Many students do not picture themselves in science-related careers primarily because they are not informed about the opportunities available and the secondary and post-secondary education required for those jobs. To most students, people in science careers include physicians, nurses, scientists (whatever that means), engineers and possibly chemists. A few students are aware of additional career choices in geology and astronomy. The science careers most talked about are related to nature and wildlife, but students are not certain what is involved in these occupations. Vast numbers of jobs are, or soon will be, available in the fields of science and technology, …

Ag-Drainage Wells And Groundwater Quality, Robert D. Libra
Ag-Drainage Wells And Groundwater Quality, Robert D. Libra
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Iowa agriculture benefits from two important natural resources, the rich soils that blanket the landscape and sufficient precipitation, in most years, to produce large crop yields. While precipitation is essential to farmers, many of Iowa's soils, especially in the northcentral part of the state, are poorly drained and at times contain excess water that can hinder field operations or ruin crops. In these areas, farm fields are often artificially drained by buried tile lines leading to ditches or to streams. Another, but less common, method is the agricultural drainage well, a shaft which funnels excess water directly underground. The upper …
