The Endangered And Uncommon Amphibians And Reptiles Of Iowa - Introduction, James L. Christiansen, Russell R. Burken Jan 1978

The Endangered And Uncommon Amphibians And Reptiles Of Iowa - Introduction, James L. Christiansen, Russell R. Burken

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Iowa has 23 amphibian and reptilian species whose known populations or ranges within the state are so small as to justify their inclusion in the state's endangered or threatened list (Roosa, 1977). This paper is intended to inform the Iowa scientific teaching community of the plight of these species and to recruit help in gathering information relative to their distribution. Most of the information presented here has been accumulated by Christiansen and Bailey (manuscripts in preparation or in press) in their work on the amphibians and reptiles of Iowa.

Organizing A Rock And Mineral Club (Part Ii), Ron Bonstetter

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Rock and Mineral Clubs (Part I) provided ideas for the initial organization of rock and mineral clubs. In order for club members to develop this avocation to its fullest, a number of basic skills have to be mastered and some equipment must be acquired. The basic skills include rock, mineral and fossil identification and collection, as well as skills in lapidary such as tumbling, cutting, shaping and mounting gemstones.

Iowa's Diatoms: Part I (Collection), James Hungerford Jan 1978

Iowa's Diatoms: Part I (Collection), James Hungerford

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The three dominant groups of algae found in Iowa are Chlorophyta (green algae), Cyanophyta (blue-green algae), and Chrysophyta (golden-brown algae). The golden-brown algae is composed of a variety of species called diatoms. This is the first in a series of articles on Iowa diatoms. Unlike most other plant species which have cell walls of cellulose, diatoms have siliceous cell walls constructed of two overlapping valves which fit together like the lids of Petri dishes. These walls are ornamented with fine ridges, lines and pores that are characteristic for each species. Although the contents of the cells decompose readily the cell …

Decapods Of Iowa (Part I), Gary Phillips Jan 1978

Decapods Of Iowa (Part I), Gary Phillips

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Decapods are a fascinating group of animals which inhabit most aquatic environments in Iowa. As they are secretive, their habits are not well known. However, they play an important role in Iowa's aquatic communities and are worthy of more attention by biology teachers and their students. Decapods are members of the class Crustacea, a group of arthropods with gills and heavy, crust-like exoskeletons. Crustaceans include such diverse forms as the microscopic water fleas and copepods, the larger sowbugs and amphipods and the more familiar decapods such as crayfish and river shrimp. All decapods have ten walking legs. In Iowa, decapods …
