Iowa - Upstep: A Program Overview, Vincent N. Lunetta

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Over the past five years the program for science teacher preparation at the University of Iowa has been in the process of gradual evolution. The changes have been stimulated by a grant from the National Science Foundation, by teachers, and by science educators. Many teachers in the state of Iowa have played a major role in the development of the current program. In the current UPSTEP program the professional education sequence has become more thoroughly integrated with the student's total program and incorporates a series of clinical experiences in the schools.

Annual Report Of The Iowa Academy Of Science 1975-76, Robert W. Hanson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Beginning in 1975, with a report on the observance of the Academy's centennial, the Annual Report took on a different format, its content consisting of the essence of committee activity rather than the detailed reports themselves. In addition, it contained such legal necessities as the minutes of the Annual Business Meeting, including election results, financial statements, constitution and bylaws revisions, and the membership roster. The Annual Report becomes, then, a running history of the Academy on a year-to-year basis. At the fall meeting of the Board of Directors in 1975 it was decided that the Annual Report be published in …

Can-On-Can Cannon, Peter H. Sweedy

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Having had success using a student constructed catapult last year in my physics classes in demonstrating the principles and mathematics of projectile motion, I was ready to repeat the experience, when a student reminded me of a cannon I made when I was younger.

Aerosols And The Atmosphere, Darrel Hoff

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In recent months concern has been expressed about the effect of certain aerosol sprays on the protective ozone layer of the atmosphere. This is a current environmental issue and it seems an appropriate topic for discussion in the high school science classroom. Like many environmental issues, the aerosol issue is not as clearly defined as is sometimes presented in the general media, and it should therefore be approached with an open mind by both teachers and students.

The Iowa Science Teachers Journal Prior To 1976, Robert E. Yager

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The Iowa Association of Science Teachers (IAST) was formed in 1907 for "promoting interest in science teaching in secondary schools." This organization functioned for several years as a strong and influential organization with membership in all of the largest secondary schools in the State. Various special reports and newsletters served as the "journal" for this early organization.

Excellence In Science Teaching Award Program Prior To 1976, David Mccalley

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The Iowa Academy of Science has a long and distinguished record of encouraging improvement in science education within Iowa's public and parochial schools. Evidence of this may be seen in its support of the Iowa Junior Academy of Science, The Iowa Science Teachers Journal and various Academy committees having as their major concern the promotion of science education. In past years, the Recognition and Awards Committee of Iowa Academy of Science has functioned to identify outstanding science and mathematics teachers in Iowa.

The Effects Of Selected Sugars On The Rheological Properties Of Rehydrated Vital Gluten, Wai Hong William Kwa, Richard Wm. Tock, Elizabeth M. Osman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Solutions of four common sugars, sucrose, maltose, glucose, and fructose were individually mixed with rehydrated vital gluten. The mixtures were then subjected to a standard baking test and to rheological examination. In both instances the addition of sugar significantly altered stress-strain relationships. The viscosity and extensibility of all the mixtures containing sugar were greater than that of the pure gluten. This suggests that the sugars had peptized the gluten and inhibited its thermal coagulation during baking. Significant differences between the action of individual sugars could not be ascertained, however. A Maxwell model for visoelastic behavior was found to fit the …

Grammatical Ambiguity In Japanese And English, Joseph Clarc Chryst

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

As indicated in the title, the principal topic of this thesis is the concept of grammatical ambiguity. In this thesis, that concept and the concept of function switching rules are identified and defined. Examples of noun phrases from Japanese and English which exhibit grammatical ambiguity are analyzed. Examples of noun phrases in English which necessitate the formulation of function switching rules are provided and discussed. The study is conducted within a generative-transformational analytical framework. Non-generative studies germane to the topic are discussed. The bulk of the example sentences for Japanese come from non-generative sources.

The Case Of The Mysterious Lizard, Patrick D. Murphy

Graduate Research Papers

The Council Bluffs Community Schools does not have media specialists in most of its elementary buildings. This means that there is not a qualified professional available to teach library skills to a majority of the students. The prospects of an improvement in this situation in the near future are not good because of budgetary pressures, Because of this, responsibility for instruction in library skills must be assumed by district level personnel. As there are only two professionals on the district level, some means of reaching many students in a limited amount of time must be used, A television production meets …

A Brief Look At Individualized Instruction, James L. Kelly

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

If one examines the terminology that is a part of education today, it becomes evident that the teacher is responsible for more than factual presentations. Accountability, humanism, credibility, and personalization are just a few of the new terms being applied to the teachers working vocabulary. All teachers, including science teachers, are constantly being asked to meet the needs of all their students, not just a selected few. This is especially true now, since nationwide science class enrollments are declining. Individualized instruction is a part of the new terminology and, in a limited amount of space, it is also the topic …

Career Opportunities Await Qualified Students, Gerald H. Krockover

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Even though we like to equate a college education with a good job, we are finding that while this was once true, it is not true for the graduates of the mid l 970's. In 1973, for example, 18 percent of the graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences at one Big Ten university who did not go on to graduate school were still unemployed six months after graduation and almost as many were working as secretaries, clerks, laborers, factory workers, and janitors. Ten years ago fewer than 500,000 bachelor's degrees were awarded in the United States and there …

Dragonfly Migration

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Migration of birds in the spring and fall is a well known phenomenon. However, migration of insects is not as well known except for a few spectacular examples such as that of the Monarch butterfly. Actually, quite a number of insects migrate and one easily observed migrant is the large Green Darner dragonfly (Anax junius).

The Computer In High School Science Instruction, James J. Hungerford, Richard L. Carter

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Computers appear to have a useful function in futuristic science classrooms. Urquhart states, "computers have a promising future as an instructional tool in biology." The purpose for utilizing computers as supplements to standard educational media is to simulate complex situations or demonstrate complex concepts that would be impractical to duplicate in classrooms due to time consuming computations, expense, or lack of equipment.
