A Curriculum Unit To Provide Enrichment Activities For Talented Students In Biology, Mary Angela Gibson Morrissey

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

It is suggested in this paper that Mastery Learning Units can be successful in encouraging the talented students to excel in their interests and capabilities. The intent of this paper is to show how enrichment activities and centers can be easily implemented in the biology curriculum by the use of Mastery Learning Units. In so doing, only one mastery unit is included for the purpose of demonstration. It is suggested that teachers write the units that they will be using for their students. This would allow their units to fit their own particular objectives, as well as the needs and …

Lab Safety

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

It has been argued that contact lenses offer a great deal of protection from damage by particles and chemicals in the science laboratory. According to NIOSH nothing could be further from the truth. An eye that has received a chemical splash should be irrigated with water until the material has been completely removed.

Human Physiology And Anatomy: For All Students At The Same Time, Irene M. Edgar

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

How should a specialized science course in high school be taught? Should it be treated as a career education course or as a general survey course? Should it follow traditional methods or should it be individualized? These questions were explored in teaching a two semester course in Human Physiology and Anatomy at Dubuque Senior High School. This course attracts students who plan a post-high school career in health oriented fields, as well as students interested in additional exploratory study that goes beyond general biology. In addition, others enroll for needed science credits. As a result, the course must service a …

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

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

This is Part I of a collection of ideas designed to promote the formation of rock and mineral clubs. Such programs are appropriate for interested individuals from upper elementary grades through high school. A broad range of interests and skills are suggested to leave room for the creativity of prospective club advisors. Membership in clubs of this nature provides many opportunities for the development of interests, hobbies and careers. The desire to pursue rock and mineral studies is developed and encouraged by creating an informal setting where individuals can identify and fulfill their interests. A successful club allows its members …

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 …

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 …

Attitudes Of Women Toward Menopause, Cheryl L. Freitag

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study explored women's attitudes toward menopause in relationship to age, education, marital status, health status, history of hysterectomy, and level of income.

Information on the six variables was obtained through a questionnaire. The Neugarten et al. (1963) Attitude-Toward Menopause checklist was utilized to determine the subjects' attitudes toward menopause. The checklist contained 34 statements to which the subjects indicated their level of agreement by using a Likert-type scale. Directions were given in group situations with the …

An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Seriation And Classification Skills In Young Children, R'Delle Marie Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The results of the Benziger Early Learning Assessment (BELA) classification and seriation subtests previously administered to 359 white, primarily middle-class preschool and primary grade school children were analyzed to determine the degree of relationship, interaction and parallelism between these two cognitive skills across age groups of children. In addition, the existence of any sex differences in performance was examined. The 359 children were grouped into three successive age groups at six-month intervals beginning with the age of four years and six months.

Results indicated that the relationship between seriation and classification, as measured by the BELA, was positive and quite …
