Introducing Aquatic Ecology To Ninth Graders, Inez P. Sutton

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

In discussing the basis for teaching high school biology, Van Deventer¹ states, "...the present typical course in high school biology serves adequately neither the terminal student nor the college entrance student." He holds that today's courses present watered-down versions of college courses to the student before the intelligence of the student has matured enough to grasp such subject matter. As a result there is very little carry-over value from such courses, and the students may even develop a dislike for biology. This study constitutes an effort to understand these problems and to devise ways of solving …

Studies On The Helminth Fauna Of Alaska. Xxxvi. Parasites Of The Wolverine, Gulo Gulo L., With Observations On The Biology Of Taenia Twitchelli Schwartz, 1924, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

Natural biotic relationships already had been severely disrupted in the United States by the time significant interest had developed in faunistic helminthology. Some mammalian species, particularly the larger carnivores, had been extirpated or were represented only by scattered individuals in the few remaining wilderness areas. Thus, it is not remarkable that the helminths of such species as the wolverine, Gulo gulo Linnaeus, have been little studied. Fortunately, however, much of arctic and subarctic North America has endured in its primitive state, and here it is still possible to undertake basic biological studies under undisturbed conditions.

The Value Of Including Chemistry Content In The Study Of High School Biology, Ramon Duane Buckley

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose was to evaluate the effect of including some definite chemistry content in high school biology. This evaluation was made by comparing outcomes of instruction in two different groups of a high school biology course. The two groups were equated in terms of the intelligence quotients, the sex, and the previous achievement in biology of the class members. The comparative gains in factual knowledge were measured by means of an evaluation test. The comparative gains in appreciations and interests in biology were measured with a questionnaire.

A Study Of The Hydra Of Salem Pond, Mary Elizabeth Dumas

Theses and Dissertations

The site of investigation for this work was Salem Pond, Salem (formerly known a.s Pond Town), Utah. It was settled in 1851 by David Crockett and David Fairbanks. Colonization began in 1856 when a fort of adobe and lumber houses was built near the pond, and later, several industries located there, benefited by the water wheels constructed by the pioneers (Huf4 l947).

Some Photographic Materials And Techniques For High School Biology Teachers, Robert L. Calentine

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Biology teachers in the smaller high schools are often confronted with the problem of securing sufficient classroom teaching material: charts, specimens, and reference books. A relatively inexpensive method of obtaining resource material would prove valuable to teachers confronted with this problem. Granting that actual study of specimens is of greater value than indirect methods, it is often helpful to have a supply of supplementary visual aids.

During an examination of fish from Turtle River, Arvilta, North Dakota, a new Neascus (larval strigeid) was recovered from the musculature and integument of the northern creek chub, Semotilus a. atromaculatus (Mitchell) and the northern common shiner, Notropis cornutus frontalis (Agassiz). This new species is named in honor of Dr. L. O. NoIf, University of Iowa.

Bulletin No. 370 - The Superb Plant Bug, Adelphocoris Superbus (Uhler): Its Life History And Its Relation To Seed Development In Alfalfa, Charles J. Sorenson, Lowell Cutler

UAES Bulletins

Infestations of the superb plant bug, Adelphocoris superbus (Uhler), in Utah alfalfa fields first came to the attention of entomologists of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station during their investigations of the seed chalcid and lygus bug problems of alfalfa seed production in the Uinta Basin from 1926 to 1934. Because of its occurrence in considerable numbers, particularly in first crop alfalfa fields with thin stands, the superb plant bug was suspected of interfering with seed development. Consequently an investigation of the activities of this insect was begun in the summer of 1932 and continued through that of 1933.

Secretion Of Amylase By Rumex Virus Tumors In Vitro, L. G. Nickell, M. K. Brakke

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

The secretion of extracellular enzymes by intact cells of higher plants apparently is a rare occurrence. One example of it is the secretion of an extra, cellular amylase by the tissue of a virus-induced tumor from the root of Rumex wetosa L. An amylase is secreted in sufficient quantities by this tissue to enable it to grow as well in vitro on a starch-containing medium as on one containing sucrose.

Book Review: "The Hermit-Philosopher Of Liendo," By I. K. Stephens, S. W. Geiser

Field and Laboratory

April 17, 1951 was the fortieth anniversary of the death of Edmund Montgomery; and on that date the Southern Methodist University Press. published the first biography of this eminent British-American philosopher. Handsome, urbane, educated in medicine at Heidelberg, Berlin, Bonn, Wiirzburg, Prague, and Vienna, member of the Royal College, of Physicians of London, this scientist-philosopher whose work was. admired by Europe's keenest intellects, lived for many years obscurely on a plantation at Hempstead, Texas. A less likely cultural home for this illegitimate son of a Scottish lord could scarcely be imagined.... This admirable biography of Edmund Montgomery (1835-1911) philosopher and …

A Survey Of Plant Parasitic And Associated Species Of Nematodes In The Carrot Producing Area Of Cedar Valley, Iron County, Utah, Paul R. Fitzgerald

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Plant parasitic nematodes have long been known to cause extensive crop losses through reduced yields, shortened productive life, or lowered value of produce. The rood knot nematode, Heterodera marioni, is cosmopolitan. It destroys crops and causes economic losses equal to those of any other plant parasitic species. in 1948 this nematode caused an estimated loss to the carrot raising industry in Iron County, Utah of approximately $15,000. No estimates for the years prior to 1948 are available; however, reports of the county agent (14) for Iron County show that carrot production in the Cedar Valley is decreasing, and is …

An Analytic Comparative Study Of Certain Biology Textbooks Used At Secondary School Level, Joseph E. Rankin

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Biology is the science of life and therefore deserves every consideration in the high school curriculum. The world today is making an extensive and intelligent use of biology in solving problems of personal and social significance. Scientists have discovered that certain phases of the subject are more important to man's welfare than others. For this reason it is essential that biology be presented to our high school students not as isolated facts, but in relation to the problem of living. Through this science of living things, the student can gain a healthy respect for facts and for conclusions based on …

Nutritional Status Of Some Utah Population Groups, Almeda Perry Brown

Faculty Honor Lectures

The science of nutrition is the science of life. Though man is still ignorant of the true nature of that elusive force we call life, he has learned by means of the discovered laws of nutrition how to preserve and prolong life as well as how to add to the satisfactions of living.

The emergence of the sicence of nutrition from the maze of superstition which for centuries clouded man's thinking is a fascinating story. A story, however, that arouses a feeling of regret that for so long a time man was willing to attribute to supernatural forces all phenomena …

Active Projects In The United States And Canada Dealing With Grasshopper Research, H.C. Severin

Agricultural Experiment Station Entomology Pamphlets (1940-1952)

The sixteenth annual meetings of the Rocky Mountain Conference of Entomologists were held at Cameron Pass, Colorado, August 17 to August 21, 1941. Some time was devoted during these meetings to a discussion of the research work that is being done at the present with grasshoppers. It was felt by those participating in the discussions that it would be highly desirable if certain data were available concerning grasshopper research projects that are being actively investigated at the present time in the United States and in Canada. The author if this paper was asked to assume the responsibility of formulating an …
