Weather Balloons: An Interdisciplinary Unit, Eugene Brady

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

"When can we let them go?" "How far do you think they will go?" "I hope someone finds mine." These were typical comments from the 140 Perry second grade students who culminated their study of air with the release of 140 balloons. The idea for such an activity was an outgrowth of an assignment in the second grade reader. One of the second grade teachers suggested this project could be readily adapted to the second grade science program. The other second grade teachers began to make suggestions on how science, language arts, geography and reading could be incorporated into the …

The Junior Novel: Historical And Literary Development, Criticism And A Selected Annotated Bibliography, Janet Albrecht

Graduate Research Papers

The paper is two-fold in purpose. First, it will trace the historical and literary development of the junior novel from its inception to the present. In order to augment the literary development of the junior novel, it will also present a discussion of the criticism that has been made of the genre and also provide criteria for evaluating the literary quality of individual works. Second, it will present a selective, annotated bibliography of recent junior novels that deal with specific social problems of concern to the adolescent reader of today.

Bring The Real World Into Your Classroom, Vincent Lunetta

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Do your students enjoy working with practical problems that are "real" in their world? Have you been searching for resource materials which will encourage students to deal with practical problems in their own community? Fortunately, such materials are currently under development by the USMES project (Unified Science and Mathematics for Elementary Schools). USMES is producing interdisciplinary materials designed to stimulate students to explore relevant issues in the social as well as the natural sciences.

Environment Of Deposition Of The Cedar Valley Formation In The Vicinity Of Black Hawk County, Iowa, Wayne I. Anderson, Stephen V. Wiig

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Nine stratigraphic sections of the Cedar Valley Formation were studied in Black Hawk, Buchanan and Benton counties in an attempt to better interpret the environment of deposition of the formation. Key environmental criteria for the interpretation of shallow water carbonate environments were recognized in the Cedar Valley Formation in the study area. The environment of deposition of the Solon Member is interpreted as entirely subtidal. The environment of deposition of the Rapid Member ranged from shallow subtidal to intertidal. The Coralville Member is interpreted as having been deposited in an environment that ranged from very shallow subtidal to intertidal and …

Bibliography Of Occupational Information, Janice Wieckhorst

Faculty Publications

This bibliography (non-annotated) is divided into three major sections. The first covers books; periodicals and pamphlets describing individual careers; job hunting techniques and the world of work. The second section contains a selected listing of U. S. government publications on employment and careers. The final section includes a group of reference materials pertinent to employment. While this bibliography is specific to the library at the University of Northern Iowa; its citations cover recognized materials generally available through reference libraries and the U. S. Government. (CKJ)

Limnological Features Of Some Northwestern Iowa Lakes, John R. Jones, Roger W. Bachmann

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Quantitative information on the morphology, watershed characteristics, water transparency, water chemistry and algal crops of six Iowa lakes is summarized. Lake West Okoboji had less oxygen present in the hypolimnion in 1950-1973 than in 1919-1928, indicating an increase in eutrophication. On the basis of increasing plant-nutrient concentrations, increasing summer algal standing crops and decreasing water transparency, the lakes can be ranked thus: Lake West Okoboji, Big Spirit Lake, Lake East Okoboji (including Upper Gar and Minnewashta) and Lower Gar Lake. These differences among lakes are related to the ratio of watershed area to lake volume, which controls the impact of …

Model Rocketry - An Excellent Teaching Aid, Edward L. Pizzini

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

As unlikely as it may seem, hobbies can serve as a powerful aid in the teaching of science. They not only provide concrete examples but capitalize on the student's interest. Model rocketry activities are an excellent example of such "high involvement" learning hobbies.

A Literature Survey Of Educational Radio And Its Role In Education, Pamela Susan Dinville

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this paper is- to explore through the literature the medium called educational radio. The historical development and the present status of the medium has been surveyed with emphasis given to the development of instruc­tional broadcasting.

Male Maturation In Selected Fiction Of Dylan Thomas, Gretchen Jacobson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Dylan Thomas wrote numerous short stories which reveal a completely different aspect of his writing and thinking from that of the highly symbolic, often existential nature of his poetry. He was able, in his short stories, to recall and tell the many-faceted feelings of a boy as he grows from early childhood into young adulthood. Along with the pleasures and hurts experienced, the mischief involved in, and the mistakes made in the process of maturing, Dylan Thomas reveals an underlying humorous, irreverent quality and attitude which seems to imply that the one who does not take himself too seriously can …

Groundwater Flow Patterns Of The Ames Aquifer, R. R. Van Der Ploeg, Don Kirkham, L. V. A. Sendlein

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Extensive field studies have indicated that the Ames aquifer (at Ames, Iowa) approximates a confined horizontal aquifer of uniform thickness and height. The aquifer is partly fed through the channel beds of two surface streams, the Skunk River and Squaw Creek. Part of the boundary of the Ames Aquifer is formed by a till layer that can be considered impervious. Pumping tests have indicated that the Skunk River and Squaw Creek maintain nearly a constant head distribution along the boundaries of the aquifer while the aquifer is pumped. A theoretical solution is presented that yields the well discharge, the hydraulic …

Statistical Analysis Of Second Order Drainage Basins On Four Pleistocene Surfaces, Richard A. Karsten

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study statistically compares certain morphometric characteristics of second order drainage basins developed on Pleistocene glacial surfaces of different ages and compositions. The morphometry of the basins was found to be partially controlled by the type and age of unconsolidated materials into which the streams are cutting. The analysis also suggests that the Iowan Erosional Surface is closely approximating a time-independent or equilibrium condition, while the other surfaces are in comparative disequilibrium.
