Computerized Twist Drill Selection For Cast Iron And Steel, Clinton K. Orth

Graduate Research Papers

The science of hole making can hardly be considered new to modern day industry. Evidence of drilling dates back as early as 4000 B.C. However, computers are considered relatively new to industry and their use is growing rapidly. One of the major concerns of industry is to identify a consistent method of selecting the proper drill when given a set of variables. The problem is to identify the sets of variables and select a drill that will give consistent results.

Assessment Of The Science Programs In The Elementary Schools Of Area Six, Paul Eckerman

Graduate Research Papers

A new generation of scientifically literate citizens is needed to cope with a future characterized by rapid change and a complex set of technical and ethical questions. Accordingly, it is recommended that all students receive an appropriate education in science to develop the intellectual skills that are basic to critical observation problem resolution, decision-making and valuing. The elementary science student of today lives in a science-oriented culture. He/she needs a science curriculum designed to be adequate in concept and purpose to face his future in the scientific-technological-industrial society. The goals of the elementary science curriculum must keep pace with the …

Due To Technical Difficulties

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The worst thing about a burning issue is that no one can smell it until there's a fire. We all spend our days deeply engrossed in ourselves, noses pressed to the grindstone. Who can see anything in that position? Then, something ignites a spark - and, suddenly, everyone calls "Fire!"

Rocketry Workshop, Robert L. Cannon

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Would you like a popular, educationally sound, hands-on workshop for your next convention or conference? The workshops on the educational applications of model rocketry put on by Estes Industries have proven very popular.

Science, Religion And The Classroom, James Hungerford

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

First Amendment Rights protect freedom of religious choice. Americans are free to practice any religion they choose, or may decide to have no religion. The Federal Government may not establish an official religion and the State may not pass laws that endorse any particular religious concept.

Chemistry Curricula: Past, Present, And Future, Robert W. Hanson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

At the University of Northern Iowa we have four so-called "Current Curricula" courses - one each in junior high science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Each is preceded in the teaching degree programs by a course called "Orientation to Science Teaching." Most students who take these Current Curricula courses are juniors or seniors and have had at least part of their professional sequence in the College of Education.

A 5-Year Comparison Study Of Iowa High School Science, Jack Gerlovich

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

There have been some major changes among the nation's schools in the past 20 years. These include (a) appearance of paraprofessionals; (b) new instructional technologies; (c) varying levels of desegregation; (d) federal funding accompanied by federal control; (e) larger school districts; (f) more informal instructional arrangements; and (g) unionization of teachers.

Dreyfus Chemistry Institute

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The object of the institute is an expanded perspective on the teaching of chemistry, to include recent progress, methods for integrating new material, current and potential relevance, and experiential examples. Curricular guides for secondary school teachers reflecting this broadened view will be developed during the institute.

Some Ethical Considerations Concerning The Use Of Live Animals In Biology Experiments, David F. Treagust

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

As biology teachers we are continually faced with decisions regarding the use of experiments in order to identify, investigate, clarify or illustrate a particular concept or concepts. If an experiment is to be performed we frequently have to decide whether to use live animals, preserved animal specimens, preserved animal organs, fresh animal organs (from, say, the butcher), tissue cultures, audio-visual simulations or even class members as the subjects. Many students, and indeed many teachers, have been reticent about their acceptance of experimenting with live, or freshly killed animals; frequently the issue is settled by reference to such work being in …

Statement Of The Position Of The Iowa Academy Of Science On The Status Of Creationism As A Scientific Explanation Of Natural Phenomena

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Current attempts to introduce 'scientific creationism' into the science classroom are strongly opposed by the Iowa Academy of Science on the grounds that creationism when called 'scientific' is a religious doctrine posed as science. It is contrary to the nature of science to propose supernatural explanations of natural events or their origins. With its appeal to the supernatural, creationism is outside the realm of science.

A Tool For Assessing, Implementing, And Evaluating Science Curriculum (K-12) For Iowa Schools, Jack Gerlovich, Gary Downs, George Magrane

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In the fall of 1977 the Iowa Department of Public Instruction (DPI) began to receive many requests for assistance in developing coordinated science programs. Local schools faced with aging science materials, economic constraints, increasing pressure from publishing companies, and decreasing student reading and computing skills needed guidelines for assessing, implementing and evaluating their science curriculum. The purpose of this tool is to provide such assistance.
