Iowa Tornadoes: Motivators For Science Teaching, John Stanford

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Iowa is located in the northern portion of the Midwestern "tornado belt." Students' natural interest in tornadoes and thunderstorms provide the alert teacher a ready-made introduction to science and the environment. The new paperback TORNADO -Accounts of Tornadoes in Iowa provides a wealth of information for the teacher, as well as reading material appropriate for students from upper-elementary through college.

Utilization Of Wave Energy, Walter R. Schmitt

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

When looking upon an aroused sea, many wonder how this seemingly large energy resource could be used. Inventive minds have gone to work on devices of all kinds - pumps and bellows, buoys, barges, and ramps, surface and subsurface siting, using alloys and plastics, etc. -generally based on mechanical or hydraulic principles. They would probably all work (if somebody would build them), but none thus far have been shown to do so profitably.

Acetate Peels From Iowa Carbonate Rocks, Wayne I. Anderson, Mary Hogan

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Iowa's rock record is noted for its abundance of carbonate rocks. These carbonate rocks, limestones and dolomites, contain interesting textural features and an abundance of fossils. The fossils can often be removed from the rock matrix and studied. The fossils can also be studied in cut and polished slabs of rock or by making thin sections of the rock. Thin sections are prepared by cutting a thin slice from the rock and gluing the slice on a glass slide. The rock slice is then ground-down with abrasives to a thickness of .030 mm., covered with a coverslip, and studied with …

Elementary Science Teaching With Little Or No Equipment, Claison Groff

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Elementary teachers seem to be ill at ease in the classroom when teaching science. Most elementary teachers tell me that they feel insecure when dealing with the laboratory aspects because they have had little training in the subject area. Most problems seem to center around activities which take time to prepare and equipment which most elementary classrooms lack or need to borrow from the Science Department. Most equipment and supplies are too expensive for any elementary curriculum to have on hand for use once or twice a year. Many elementary teachers teach strictly from the book and do not get …

Report On Survey Of Diploma Of Teaching Graduates In Science From The N.C.A.E. Who Are In Their First Year Of Teaching (1978), Research Committee, Nedlands College Of Advanced Education

Research outputs pre 2011

This survey of graduates with the Diploma of Teaching (Science) was conducted with the intention of providing Science Department Staff of the N.C.A.E. with information which would allow changes to be made that would more accurately meet the needs of their students.

Preliminary discussions with the College science staff have already initiated several changes as suggested by the interviewees. Some recommended changes have already taken place during the graduates' first year of teaching (such as a change in the timing of the Assistant Teaching Programme)...

Energy Education Materials For Elementary School, Marcia Keizer Fraser

All Master's Theses

The materials created introduce intermediate elementary level children to a selected basic energy vocabulary and to concepts of energy-environment inter-relations. The approach is multi-dimensional, employing a slide tape presentation, posters, charts, and vocabulary cards. Energy concepts and vocabulary are repeated through the various media forms as a means to reinforce learning. The content tone is deliberately positive so that in the process of gaining knowledge about energy issues, children will feel successful, encouraging further achievement in the area of energy education.

Mathematics Education, English Technological Universities And Variety Of Entry Into The Teaching Profession, A. G. Shannon

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

The purpose of this paper is to raise the issue of genuine variety of entry into the teaching profession in Australia. The author's interest in mathematics and technological institutions has been used to focus the discussion on specific features, but his experience as a member of the Course Assessment Committee of the NSW Board of Teacher Education has made him aware of wider implications beyond the features peculiar to mathematics. Mathematics education itself is a term which can include the teaching of mathematics, studies about the learning of mathematics, and the preparation of mathematics teachers. The various aspects of mathematics …

Is There A Greater Role For Insects As Food?, G. R. Defoliart

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The world food deficit has resulted in an expanded effort to find new sources of protein. With significant research efforts directed toward development of oilseed, leaf, fish and single cell concentrates, it is surprising that insects have been almost totally overlooked. They are a natural food for many kinds of animals and they are used widely as food by some human populations, especially in the tropics where they help compensate for the general deficiency in animal proteins, fats and calories. The few biochemical studies done to date indicate that insect protein is of high quality.
