Open Letter To Science Teachers: Society In The Science Classroom, Darrel Hoff

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In a speech given to a group of scientists and science educators last spring, Paul deHart Hurd repeated a remark made earlier by Bentley Glass that "a serious mistake has been made in the development of our national curricula in not stressing the social implications of science". Indeed this is true. You will search in vain for a reference to atomic weapons in the index of the Chem Study text. You will find no listing for hydrogen fusion weapons in the index of the PSSC text. DDT goes unlisted in the CBA index. You will find no reference to the …

The Toxic Activity Of Main Trunk Wood From Diseased Dutch Elm Trees, Lyle C. Baugess, J. Lester Dalton

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The Dutch Elm disease is caused by Ceratostomella ulmi (Schwartz) Buis (1); and, two types of elm bark beetles (9) are its vectors (3,4,9). Growth of the fungus occurs in the xylem tissue, which predominantly is concerned with conduction of water to the foliage. The spores and bud cells of C. ulmi are smaller than the elm wood vessels (1,2). C. ulmi, too, can be transmitted through root grafts.

A Consideration Of Student Understanding Of Science In Two Approaches To Bscs Biology, Harry F. Fulton

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The understanding of science by students is considered by science educators to be a worthwhile goal in the teaching of science. Attempts have been made to achieve this goal in the various curricula that have been developed, and the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study is one of these curricula. Several studies have been attempted to measure the understanding of science as a student outcome in a particular course such as BSCS Biology. In most studies the Test On Understanding Science (TOUS) (1) was the most common instrument used.

Batteries And Bulbs With An Average Class Of Ninth Graders, Richard D. Mcvey

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

During the fall semester of 1969 I had occasion to try some elementary science units with a low group of ninth graders. Of the units tried, the E.S.S. "Batteries and Bulbs" had such interesting results that it instilled in me the idea of trying the unit with my regular ninth grade class.
