Algae And Energy, James J. Hungerford

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The extent to which algae contribute to human welfare is often forgotten, ignored or unappreciated. Many types of algae serve as bases in commercially prepared foods and condiments. Algal products are used in cosmetics, textiles, pharmaceuticals and paints. In Asia, algae are often mixed and served with rice and fish to supplement the human diet. In coastal areas of the world, kelps are often chopped as food for livestock. The alga Poryphyra is cultivated in Japan to supply a 65 million pound annual market.

A Diagnostic-Prescriptive Procedure For Teaching Adolescent Dyscalculics, Constance Ellingson Byrnes

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A procedure of individual diagnosis and educational prescription was developed for classroom teachers in the regular school program. A means of gathering and managing data including the use of task analysis was recommended. The procedure was demonstrated in selected case studies. A five-part model was developed to systematically diagnose the learning problem manage the information gathered in the diagnosis, and present a prescription or teaching strategy to remediate the errors. Step I was the diagnosis of mathematical errors. Samples of mathematical computation were collected. Errors were selected for prescription if the student made systematic errors and if a series of …

Electronic Color Scanners, Kenneth Francis Hird

Graduate Research Papers

Process color photography has been continually developing for many years. In fact, color printing techniques are still benefiting, through additional sophisticated requirements, and from a discovery made about 300 years ago. At that time Sir Isaac Newton, British scientist, mathematician • and philosopher, placed a glass prism in the path of a narrow beam of sunlight entering his room through a pinhole in an opaque window shade. He determined that ordinary white light is a mixture of colored lights.

Unfortunately, in practice, ideal pigments for three-color inks do not exist and this impasse greatly complicates the job for the photo-processor. …

A Unique Elementary Science Teacher Education Program, S. Cecilia Kuennen

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Within the past decade exciting new science programs have become available and have been introduced into the elementary schools. At the same time important changes are taking place in pre-service science education programs on the college level to ensure long-range success in the use of these new curricula. Briar Cliff College, Sioux City, Iowa, has successfully implemented an innovative pilot program which may well be adopted by other teacher education centers throughout the country. The strength of the program lies in the cooperative effort between the college and the elementary school system.

Student Programs In Retrospect, Brian J. Awbrey

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Science may often be considered a discipline of absolutes and systematized knowledge, but science education in Iowa need not be so. To the young and enthusiastic Iowa student scientist there are a number of educational opportunities available that are exciting and relevant, as well as several which take place outside of the classroom. These extracurricular opportunities are designed to allow the secondary science student to realize a few of his educational aspirations while interacting directly with other professionals and student scientists from the state. Since I have been involved personally with some of the unique Iowa science educational opportunities as …

School Tours At The Des Moines Center Of Science And Industry, Linda Garten

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

As every teacher knows, some of the best learning experiences take place outside the classroom. This may be especially true when you take your class on a field trip to the Des Moines Center of Science and Industry, where a program has been planned especially for school groups. Science Center school tours provide a motivational experience which stimulates interest in science and technology through participation.

Women In Science - Bibliography Offer, Walter S. Smith

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Most high level science careers are not pursued by women in any large proportion. Women comprise less than ten percent of American physicians, engineers, geologists, chemists, physicists, dentists, and veterinarians. On the other hand, women are over-represented in such science-related careers as nursing, dental hygiene, medical technology, physical and occupational therapy, and dietetics. Men encounter personal barriers or social pressures which make difficult their entry into "women's work." Likewise, women cannot easily pursue "men's careers." The result includes society's cheating itself by its under-utilization of science talents and the individual's having a reduced range of choices which could lead to …

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

As the newly elected director of District VIII of the National Science Teachers Association, I had the oppo1tunity to attend the board meeting in Colorado Springs this summer. It was a real pleasure to work with the most capable staff and officers of NST A. Our district can be very proud of its representation for the past two years in the person of David L. Fagel from Marshalltown, Iowa. Dave did an outstanding job and is very much respected for his leadership. I hope that I may as ably serve District VIII.

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 …
