Numerical Control Machining, Dennis L. Maclennan

Graduate Research Papers

Accurate and timely data depicting major aspects of manufacturing are essential to allow management to exercise effective controls for investments relating to automated equipment. One specific area of automated equipment can be termed "numerical control" (N/C) . "N/C is a technique for the control of production tools by information prerecorded in symbolic form (Devries, 1971, p. 1)." l This study is concerned with gathering material on the functional use and operation of N/C equipment. Specifically, the following areas of study were:

(1) to gather historical information on N/C equipment development;

(2) to investigate who are the major manufacturers of N/C …

The Endangered And Uncommon Amphibians And Reptiles Of Iowa - Frogs, James L. Christiansen, Russell R. Burken

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Iowa has 23 amphibian and reptilian species whose known populations or ranges within the state are so small as to justify their inclusion in the state's endangered or threatened list (Roosa, 1977). This paper is intended to inform the Iowa scientific teaching community of the plight of these species and to recruit help in gathering information relative to their distribution. Most of the information presented here has been accumulated by Christiansen and Bailey (manuscripts in preparation or in press) in their work on the amphibians and reptiles of Iowa.

Chameleons In The Classroom, David Fagle, Nancy Walden

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

What can you get at a pet shop that will change its color and your science teaching? You can get Anolis carolinensis, a unique and interesting reptile that has become a commonplace object of study in many progressive science classrooms. Anolis carolinensis, the American chameleon is not a "true" chameleon. "True" chameleons exhibit more dramatic color changes, but children are charmed and intrigued by the behavior and color changes exhibited by this American reptile.

Determining Textbook Readability, George R. Davis

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Since student success in science is related to reading ability, the selection of a readable text is crucial to classroom instruction. The determination of reading level is probably the single most important factor in textbook selection. If textbooks are unreadable for students, few students will read them and the other reasons for selecting texts will be lost to the reading audience. What determines the reading level of a textbook and how is the reading level of a textbook evaluated? This article discusses the answers to these questions and includes a quick method for reading level determination.

A Teaching Calendar

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

"What can we do today?" is a question voiced by teachers at lesson plan time, by children on rainy days, and others with time on their hands. It used to be difficult to find new and interesting learning activities to fill this time, but with Science Fun, Every Day in Every Way, there are always answers at hand.
