The Structure Of Matter, L. Begeman Mar 1929

The Structure Of Matter, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

At the present time, physical science recognizes the following divisions of matter: masses, molecules, atoms, electrons and protons. Matter appeals to us directly in the form of masses. We can readily sense a mass of water, a mass of air or a mass of iron; but it is quite different with the other divisions of matter. Molecules are so small that it takes about seventy billion billion of them laid side by side to extend through the length of one inch.

Misconceptions Concerning Respiration, C. W. Lantz Mar 1929

Misconceptions Concerning Respiration, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The respiration of plants is misunderstood by a large majority of the students who enter our general botany classes in college. This misunderstanding is about as common among students who have had biological training in high school as among those who have not. I am also convinced that a very large majority of people, in general, not excluding college graduates, have the wrong conception of plant respiration. It seems that there must be something wrong with the teaching of this subject in our schools.

The Molecular Kinetic Theory, L. Begeman Mar 1929

The Molecular Kinetic Theory, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

Every teacher of elementary physics should have a thorough understanding of the molecular kinetic theory of matter since it is so indispensable in the explanation of various phenomena in physical science. One might even divide contemporary elementary physics into three divisions, viz: mass physics, molecular physics and electronic physics.

The Open Season For Teachers: An Editorial Mar 1929

The Open Season For Teachers: An Editorial

Science Bulletin

The next three months arc anxious ones among our teachers. Some are seeking advancement; others are hoping for re-election; and many are looking for their first school. Chance will play an important part in many cases. The "influential third party" will land positions for some. But for most applicants desirable qualifications will be the largest factor.

Professional Growth, R. W. Getchell Mar 1929

Professional Growth, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

An official in a small school system was discussing the requirements for a good teacher. "We prefer teachers," he said, "who will outgrow their position in our school." What greater challenge to professional growth could be offered to a teacher in service?

Improved Methods In Science Teaching, Louise Hearst Feb 1929

Improved Methods In Science Teaching, Louise Hearst

Science Bulletin

Pasteur has said that "in our century science is the soul of the prosperity of nations and the living source of all progress." Teachers of this important branch of knowledge, then, should carefully consider the methods of instruction in the science departments of our secondary schools. As these methods vary considerably, no general criticism of them will be attempted here. However there are certain fundamentals that merit attention, and in this paper we will examine three of them.

Measuring The Stars, W. H. Kadesch Feb 1929

Measuring The Stars, W. H. Kadesch

Science Bulletin

Walking out on any clear and moonless night, one is thrilled at the sight of the seeming myriad of twinkling stars. To the artistically inclined, there is beauty and majesty, to the philosophically minded, food for speculation. ·where a r e these stars, what are they, whence come they, and ·whither do they go? Are they unchangeable through the aeons or do they progress through youth, maturity, old age, and finally into stellar death and oblivion? We ca n follow briefly only one or two of these speculations in these few short paragraphs.

Plant Study In General Science, C. W. Lantz Feb 1929

Plant Study In General Science, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The general science course in most high schools is conspicuous by its lack of plant study. Usually there is a brief study of micro-organisms, but the higher plant is often completely ignored. Why is this? Is it because the subject matter of plant study is of a special nature and is not of general importance? Ts it because plant study is not of interest and cannot be adapted to beginners in high school? Perchance it is because most of our general science textbooks have been written by physicists and chemists.

Editorial Feb 1929

Editorial

Science Bulletin

Scientific standardization, both of materials and labor, is one of the most outstanding developments of the last decade in the industrial world. Apparently the last group of people to apply this method to their own problems are the very ones who originated the principle. We refer to the scientists and especially to the teachers of science. Our study of the science course offered in secondary schools and our experience with college students in science emphasize the entire lack of uniformity among high school science courses.

Health Education, Belva L. Swalwell Feb 1929

Health Education, Belva L. Swalwell

Science Bulletin

Health work is so fundamental and so important that it cannot be left out of the high school course without seriously handicapping the individual, the state, and the nation. The recent state Iaws regarding health education place it, in effect, on a basis with other subjects. In other words, health education becomes one of the five major subjects running through the entire curriculum.

Laboratory Work In Poultry, H. Earl Rath Feb 1929

Laboratory Work In Poultry, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

It is probable that the winter feeding, housing and management problems of poultry have been taken up in class before this time. If not, the alert agricultural instructor can develop some very practical laboratory work by conducting a survey in the community of the conditions under which poultry is kept, and then comparing the results obtained from flocks cared for under varying conditions.

Atmospheric Pressure, L. Begeman Feb 1929

Atmospheric Pressure, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

An account of the experiment reached Paris the next year and came to the notice of Pascal. He could not try the experiment until 1646 when glass tubes were available to him. Pascal reasoned that if the atmosphere supported the mercury column, the height of the column should be lessened when the apparatus was carried to a high altitude.

Book Aids For The Teacher Of Geography In The Elementary School, Stella M. Frye Feb 1929

Book Aids For The Teacher Of Geography In The Elementary School, Stella M. Frye

Bachelors’ Theses

In America, the development of the study of geography has been very slow, and until recent years, this country could boast of very few geographers, and had made little progress in the field of geographic research. Germany and France have long been leaders in this field, and some of the moot reliable authorities on the subject are the French and German geographers. Almost every country in Europe "now has its professional geographers and geography has long been recognized as a subject for independent study and research."

The Teaching Of Physiography, E. J. Cable Jan 1929

The Teaching Of Physiography, E. J. Cable

Science Bulletin

It is quite unfortunate that a subject as valuable as physiography finds such a small patronage among our high school pupils. This is probably due partly to the fact that there is still a lack of agreement among teachers as to the content or classification of the subject. In some high schools physiography is required of all freshmen. Often it goes under the title of "general science" or "modern geography."

Cockroaches For Laboratory Study, Roy L. Abbott Jan 1929

Cockroaches For Laboratory Study, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

Teachers of high school biology are often handicapped by a lack of living material. This is particularly true in the teaching of insects. Most texts in biology use the grasshopper as a type of insect, largely, I suppose, because of its familiarity to the average pupil.

Winter Study Of Trees, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

One often hears the idea expressed that there is little to be done during the winter months in the way of field or laboratory studies of trees. In reality there is a wealth of material available and the following suggestions are offered in the hope that they will be helpful in calling attention to the possibilities of winter tree study.
