A Comparison Of Methods Of Interpolation, Don Barry Jan 1966

A Comparison Of Methods Of Interpolation, Don Barry

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The original project consisted of refining a new method for square root determination so that a simple, accurate, Barry and single-step method would exist. Naturally, it was hoped that such an examination of the method would lead to other discoveries concerning square roots. Merely for the sake of challenge, it was decided to use as simple mathematics as possible. Eventually, the author was able to develop an equation, not merely a method, for square root determination. However, a proof of this equation has not been discovered.


The Effect Of Thiouracil On The Thyroid Gland Of The Mouse, Patricia Patridge Jan 1966

The Effect Of Thiouracil On The Thyroid Gland Of The Mouse, Patricia Patridge

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The object of this research was to determine the effect of thiouracil on the thyroid gland of the mouse. The results showed that thiouracil caused a definite increase in the size of the gland and a decrease in the amount of iodine present in the gland. Since thiouracil is considered capable of preventing iodine from binding and producing the thyroxine molecule needed for the normal function of the gland, these results were as expected.

The modern science programs of today have created increased emphasis upon the laboratory situation. With this increased emphasis on laboratory work, the science teacher must spend many hours preparing for laboratory experiences which will meet the needs of the students enrolled in today's and tomorrow's science courses.
