Frontiers In Physical Science, William R. Savage Jan 1968

Frontiers In Physical Science, William R. Savage

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

With the fast pace and rapid development of physical science, it is possible for the student to believe that no new problems remain which will require his attention. One may come to the conclusion that no challenging problems remain or that the challenges of today will be solved tomorrow. It is important to regard physical science as a human endeavor with a .future and broad scope. The frontiers exist and are easily described and recognized in all areas.

Rationale For Sequence Of High School Science Courses: Argument For Change, James M. Moulton Jan 1968

Rationale For Sequence Of High School Science Courses: Argument For Change, James M. Moulton

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In this time of rapidly evolving curricula, it is, I fear, redundant and presumptuous for a professor of biology to comment upon secondary school education. This is particularly so if he lacks experience in the problems of secondary school administration and teaching as does the present author. The problems of adequate preparation and appealing to student interests that one encounters at the college and university levels among relatively highly selected students are magnified many, many times at the high school level.

Writing And Evaluating The Laboratory Report, David N. West Jan 1968

Writing And Evaluating The Laboratory Report, David N. West

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

All too often the time-consuming duties of classroom instruction cause laboratory evaluation to take on a minor role. Publishers also have added to this dilemma by burgeoning the market with fill-in-the-blank type laboratory manuals. This paper shows how proper orientation of the student in his laboratory reporting encourages communication skills that include the ability to interpret, analyze, and transmit facts and ideas graphically and in writing. A cognitive approach to the evaluation of these communicative skills may not eliminate paper grading but it will do much toward making it briefer and more productive.

A Naturalist At Large: Skin-In, Skin-Out, Marston Bates

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Each semester I arrange a seminar of a dozen or so students who meet one evening a week in the living room of the house. I try to select students with different interests, from different departments of the university, with the idea of getting to know a small but varied sample of the student body. We decide on some topic for discussion during the semester, but whatever the official topic, two subjects - education and sex - always come up, and always generate heated arguments.

This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn Jan 1968

This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Getting to know science teachers about the state is somewhat of a problem for the teacher in smaller Iowa high schools. I suspect that this is a problem of communication rather than one of design by those of us in the less urban areas. When it was suggested that the Iowa Science Teachers' Journal be an avenue for establishing contact I was at first reticent about telling of myself.

"What Does Membership Mean To The Elementary Teacher?", Gordon Wagner Jan 1968

"What Does Membership Mean To The Elementary Teacher?", Gordon Wagner

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

At a recent in-service meeting in our school, an elementary teacher told me, "We have specialists in our school system who come into my classroom to teach art, music, and physical education. No one helps me teach science! What chance do I have keeping up with the changes in science when I only have a few credits in the first place?"

An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen Jan 1968

An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Often in a study of the cell and its cellular processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, assimilation, and growth, biology students find it difficult to acquire an adequate idea of how these living processes interact. Synthesis of these separate processes into an organized whole is even more difficult to comprehend. This paper describes an analogy between a factory and the cell that has been found effective as a classroom discussion technique to more clearly illustrate what the cell must do to maintain itself and to divide.

Raising Japanese Quail In The Laboratory, Kashmiri L. Arora

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Within a few years, the use of Coturniz coturnix japonica, popularly known as Japanese quail, as a laboratory research animal has increased tremendously in the United States and also abroad. Currently, a variety of laboratories conducting investigations on different aspects of biological and related areas are using this bird as an experimental animal. We have learned from its use in both individual and class experiments that it is also a very useful animal for classroom experimentation.

Acceptance Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus By Established Tomato Root Cultures, Valerie Halverson Jan 1968

Acceptance Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus By Established Tomato Root Cultures, Valerie Halverson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

With Haberlandt's idea of cultivating individual cells in vitro, cell tissue culture began in 1902. Sporadic work was done in this area through the ensuing years. However, it was not until White's cultivation of tomato roots for an indefinite time span in 1934 that culture study became significant. Most work has been oriented toward the study of the growth and function of the cell. The research has included various nutritional and environmental studies. The proposition of this research is to use established technique for culturing tomato roots in order to go a step further, and use these cultures to study …

Comparing Laboratory Instruction Methods In Biology, John C. Coulter Jan 1968

Comparing Laboratory Instruction Methods In Biology, John C. Coulter

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

This investigation compares achievement of ninth grade students in biology taught by inductive laboratory experiments, by deductive laboratory exercises, and by demonstration of inductive experiments. It appears that the inductive approach produced significantly greater attainment of attitudes of science. The emphasis of this on designing experiments and analyzing the data did not distract from the ability of students to learn and apply facts and principles. None of the instructional methods tested was found to be more effective with any particular ability range. Students in laboratory classes reacted more positively to their instruction than did those taught by the demonstration method.
