Science Bulletin

Questions submitted before the end of the month will be answered in the next number of the Bulletin.

General Science: Astronomy, E. J. Cable

Science Bulletin

General science is, as the name suggests, a study of the practical applications of the physical and natural sciences. To be a good teacher of the subject one should have a working understanding of the fundamental principles of physics, chemistry, biology, physiography, astronomy and climatology. General science, when taught as such in the grades or junior high school, should aid boys and girls to interpret, in an intelligent and meaningful way, the application of these principles to everyday life.

Natural Science: Seed Corn, Winfield Scott

Science Bulletin

Again we come to the annual problem of seed corn and show corn. In the first place good seed corn is important to all of us because missing hills and barren stalks mean wasted labor, wasted time, and wasted land. Since human labor and time are our most valuable assets why waste them through useless endeavor by planting corn which will not grow nor yield?

We, The Jury, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

Iowa high schools may justly be proud of their chemistry courses and of their chemistry teachers. The state ranks low in the number of schools offering this science but high in the quality of its teaching staff. One sure criterion of instructional efficiency is growth - a growth based upon the frank recognition of mistakes and intelligent effort to correct them.

Planning The Year's Work

One of the important things for the science teacher to do at this season is to lay definite plans for the work of the semester or year. One way to do this is to entrust everything to the text book.

Survey Of Intelligence Tests, Godfrey F. Schulz

Bachelors’ Theses

The aim of this paper is to give what I consider the most important phases of mental testing. In the first place I shall write of the "History of Intelligence Testing ." In this part of the work I shall show how mental testing grew out of the study of individual differences and also out of the study of human behavior. I also wish to show what the different countries, those of France, Germany, England and the United States, contributed toward the development of mental testing. In the second place I shall show the two different sides of the controversy …

The Unit Method Of Teaching General Science In High Schools, M. Maxentia

Bachelors’ Theses

During the past quarter of a century, while the demand for teaching science in high schools was increasing, there has been a constant experimentation going on. This experimentation was carried on, not only by the heads of the science and educational departments of our colleges and universities, the superintendents, and principals of high schools, but also by the teachers themselves. It has been a question of what to teach in general science and how to teach it so that the pupil would get the best knowledge of the subject and acquire the ability of proper application of this knowledge in …

The Schools Of Palestine, Sarah Margoles

Bachelors’ Theses

To humanity Palestine is a country of peculiar interest as the Holy Land of three different faiths, cultural backgrounds, languages and history. Each is trying to develop and foster its own national aspirations in terms of its own peculiar racial life, its ow religious traditions and its own culture as far as it is able in view of the changes that are taking place in Palestine in recent times.

Insects And Man, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

Because of their relationship to dangerous human parasites, insects have been responsible for the death of more people than all other animals put together. Confirmation of this astounding statement can be seen in the close relationship between houseflies and typhoid fever, between rat fleas and plague, tsetse flies and sleeping sickness, and that between mosquitoes and yellow fever and malaria.

Care Of Laboratory Equipment, Harold E. Murphy

Science Bulletin

"We have good equipment, but no place to keep it arranged in order so that we have quick access to it." The above statement describes the condition under which some high school departments operate. A condition of this kind places extra work upon the teacher and uses valuable time that is needed in class room instruction.

The Conservation Of Wild Flowers, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

On almost any warm spring day when the first woodland flowers have made their appearance, it is a very common sight to see parties of children, and many older people as well, scouring the woods in search of wild flowers.

Joseph Henry, W. H. Kadesch

Science Bulletin

Have you ever asked your pupils the question, what American has contributed most to the development of electrical science? Very likely a great majority would answer without hesitation, Edison, the inventor of the incandescent light. Some might answer, Bell, the inventor of the telephone. A few, the radio fans, might say De Forest, the inventor of the three electrode tube. An occasional one might even answer Franklin, the first great American scientist, who drew electricity from the clouds, and showed that lightning and the "electric fluid" are the same. Not one, I am sure, would ever mention Joseph Henry.

This number of Science Bulletin is the last number for the school year 1929-30. We hope that we have been able to give the high school teachers of Iowa material that they have found interesting and helpful. The responses that we have had from you lead us to believe that we have been able in some measure to do this.

At The Close Of The School Year You Will Be Making Your Plans For The Summer.

Science Bulletin

At the close of the school year, you will be making your plans for the summer. Teachers have an excellent opportunity during the summer to advance themselves professionally by study and travel. Most of our universities and colleges have summer schools planned especially for teachers and I know of no better way to spend at least a part of your summer than at one of these.
