The Effects Of Stimulants On The Pulse Rate, Darrell Young

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

A recent article in Science by Maugh II (1973), dealing with the possible relationship between coffee and heart disease, inspired me to develop and execute a laboratory exercise designed to measure the effects of stimulants on the body. This exercise was, of course, designed to only measure immediate short-term effects, since long-term effects are obviously more difficult to measure.

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.

News And Notes, Gary E. Downs

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

I would like to share with you a few of the activities I have been involved in throughout this academic year.

An Alternative To A Project Physics Film Loop, Harold Jensen

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The apparatus used for this experiment was described at a Summer Institute at Knox College. It is very adaptable to the experimental procedure of the film loop Vector-Addition-Velocity of a Boat and deserves more widespread awareness.

Individualized Study In The Junior High School: To Packet Or Not To Packet, Jerry Stephens

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

This article is a summation of a presentation given at the School Science and Mathematics National Convention held in Des Moines, Iowa, November 8-10, 1973. Frederick P. DeLuca of the Science Education Department at Iowa State University coordinated speakers Jerry Stephens, Mary Wieser, Tim Christian, and Walt Hall.

Any Good Ideas On Energy?

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The NSTA publications committee would like to come out with a booklet describing inexpensive activities related to alternative sources of energy and conservation of energy.

Take Time, Suzanne Kelly

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

For several years the plea has been to individualize experiences in the classroom. Techniques in room structures (pods, movable walls, learning centers) and in teaching methods (contracts, team-teaching, open classroom concepts) attempted to set the stage for such individualization. Classrooms with permanent rows and every child on every page in every textbook on every day became known as traditional and were highly frowned upon by many educators. Teachers wanted to meet the needs of each child but were not necessarily skilled to do so.

Publications

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Short comments regarding the publications:

The World of Carnivorous Plants by James and Patricia Pietropaolo.

The Language of Science by Alan Mandell, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia.

Fate Of The World Rests On Science Teachers: Asimov, Virginia L. Dobson, George Hamilton

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Dr. Isaac Asimov, biochemist, science writer, and former teacher, gave the Fellows Address at the 78th Science Teachers Association of New York State Conference last year. In his presentation he defined science as an attempt to understand the rules that govern the universe, an attempt that was of no practical purpose before the 18th century. The following excerpts were reported by Virginia L. Dobson and George Hamilton, Texas A & M University, College Station, Texas.

National Science Teachers Association

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

NSTA headquarters and staff recently moved out of the NEA Building into their own home at Connecticut Avenue and S Street NW. The Georgian-style building is conveniently located downtown where public transportation is available, and parking facilities are nearby. The spacious mansion has a large conference room suitable for committee meetings. Owning its own headquarters symbolizes NSTA's ability to build an identity as an independent organization and its hope to intensify the feeling of active membership on the part of science teachers.

Faculty Handbook, 1974, University Of Northern Iowa

University Faculty Documents

The 1974 revised handbook was prepared as an informal guide to services; facilities; and policies at the university; as well as university structure and administration. Faculty privileges and responsibilities are described in a major section. Other chapters deal with rules and regulations; social and professional organizations; cultural and recreational opportunities; and statements of responsibility and hearing procedures. Specific details are given on: attendance at faculty meetings; advising duties; leaves; travel; research funds; insurance and other benefit programs; salaries; faculty evaluations; rank and promotions; tenure; faculty grievances; retirement; outside employment; political activity; and use of university facilities.

Food Habits, Growth And Distribution Of Larval Walleye, Stizostedion Vitreum Vitreum (Mitchill), In Clear Lake, Iowa, Vernon L. Spykerman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Larval walleye were collected in Clear Lake, Iowa, during May and June, 1972, to determine their food habits, growth and distribution while in the pelagic stage. Larvae were pelagic until early June, and then moved into littoral areas of the lake. During the pelagic stage, larvae exhibited vertical movement toward the surface at night and to deeper zones during the day. Mean total body length of larvae was 9 mm on May 13 and 32.6 mm on June 8. Feeding commenced when larvae reached 9 mm in length. Cladocera and Copepoda comprised 94.6 percent of the total number of food …

Innovations In Industrial Arts Teacher: Education--Curriculum--Facilities--Methodology, Alvin E. Rudisill

Faculty Publications

The University of Northern Iowa Department of Industrial Technology is involved in a three-phase curriculum development project along with new facility design and construction and implementation of instructional innovations. The report reflects decisions made to date in the process; including the completed phase of developing concept-based cluster courses to serve all majors in the department; including education majors. Second and third phases will focus on advanced technical courses; the professional sequence; and the graduate program. Considered in the report are factors influencing industrial arts teacher education at all levels; such as components of the industrial arts education program; State certification …

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)

Actual Teaching Assignments Call For Broader Pre-Service Training For Chemistry-Physics Teachers, Robert W. Hanson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Full-time physics teachers are rare in Iowa's high schools-information on record with the Iowa Department of Public Instruction indicates that there are only eleven in the entire state. Full-time chemistry teachers are not much more common-the records show that there are 33 in Iowa. The most common combination involving physics includes chemistry, with 62.5 percent of all physics teachers teaching chemistry and 52.5 percent of all chemistry teachers teaching physics. Most of the 240 teachers who teach both subjects teach a third subject as well. Tables 1 and 2 show the numbers of teaching combinations that include chemistry or physics …

Science Articulation K-12, Gary E. Downs

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

I think it is important that we know what I am going to discuss; therefore I feel I should define articulation. Definition of Articulation - the action or manner of jointing or interrelating; the state of being jointed or systematically interrelated into a whole; interrelation of different levels of education (as elementary education, secondary education, and higher education) for ensuring continuous advancement of learning. Using this definition I would now like to take a look at our educational structure.
