Do Honey Bees Learn To Work? (An Excerpt From Sophomores And Honey Bees), Richard F. Trump

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Another question that your students can answer for themselves is whether bees really inherit their work behavior. That's what we tell our students - that bees are creatures of instinct. And expect our students to believe it. We all know, of course, that too much of our teaching is like that. The least we can do is to offer evidence. Better yet, we can give the students a chance to see for themselves.

High School Biology Training And Introductory College Biology Success, Stanley Whelchel, David Pettus

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

High School biology teachers are occasionally concerned with curriculum problems such as: 1. Should BSCS biology be introduced in the curriculum, and if it is, will the students do well in the introductory biology courses in college? 2. Should two biology courses be offered at the high school level, and will the second course really prepare a student better for college biology?

A New Approach To Junior High Science Iscs - Intermediate Science Curriculum Study, Louis A. Gatta

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

What is the background of ISCS? Why ISCS? What content is included in ISCS? How is ISCS taught? What ISCS materials are available? What can be said in summary?

Elementary Science Projects And The Low Group Of Ninth Graders, Richard D. Mcvey

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

For many years it has been a common practice in junior high schools to group children according to their ability. In the science class, as well as in the other areas, this has had its advantages and disadvantages. To motivate the student in the low group is a different type of problem than to motivate the students of the average- or high-ability group.

Rallying Cry For Truly Logical Animal Lover, Michael O'Donnell

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

On attending a recent animal-protection rally, I noticed that a great deal was said about outrages against the nobler and cuddlier animals but nothing at all about the daily slaughter of many millions of microorganisms. I have therefore composed an anthem which I hope will prove a rallying cry for the truly logical animal lover.

Let The Elementary Students Enjoy The Lakeshore, Roland F. Chapman

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

One of the activities used during the fall for fifth grade students at Spirit Lake Elementary School, involves studying animals and plants that live in and near the shores of lakes in Northwest Iowa.

A Study Of The Esterification Of 2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-1,3-Cyclobutanediol, Lewis Metzler Naylor

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this research was to prepare, identify, and characterize 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,.3-cyclobutanediol bischloroacetate using 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol and monochloroacetic acid as starting materials. The synthesis of this diester has not been reported previously.

Catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions were attempted, with the uncatalyzed having, in general, the better yield. The diester, trans-2,2,4,4-tetrametbyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol bischloroacetate (mp, 103.5-104; n²², 1.516-1.520), was isolated from a mixture of the isomers. The trans configuration of the diester was confirmed by comparing known nuclear magnetic resonance spectra to that of the diester. Infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm functional groups. Standard analytical techniques were used to determine chloride …

A Modification Of The Spectrophotometric Determination Of Zinc With Methylene Blue And Thiocyanate In An Aqueous System, Roger William Craig

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The analysis of zinc in the 0-10 microgram range, determined by the loss in absorbance of a buffered methylene blue solution in the presence of thiocyanate in an aqueous system, is described. The technique was best performed with a 1.0 M NaSCN and 6.0 x 10^-5 M methylene blue solution buffered with citrate-phosphate to a pH of 3.2. Absorbance readings were taken from the Cary Model 14 recording spectrophotometer in the range of 500-700 mµ with 666 mµ being used as the most useful wavelength for the attempted zinc analysis. The analysis of zinc was found to be satisfactory …

Matrix Organization: An Approach To Effective And Continuing Interdisciplinary Team Functioning, Richard H. Stanley

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

At this point in history, there is general recognition that the nature of the problems we face requires effective multiple discipline attack. We have, perhaps unconsciously, been thrust into a brave new world in which mankind has the capability to control his environment and shape his own destiny. This brave new world requires new perspective.

Preliminary Results Of A Statistical Analysis Of A Long-Term Limnological Study Of The Coralville Reservoir, William D. Wade, Donald B. Mcdonald

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Coralville Reservoir, located on the Iowa River upstream from Iowa City, has been the subject of an intensive limnological study for the past five years. Interpretation of the physical, chemical and biological data obtained was difficult due to the large numbers of parameters measured and the frequency of sampling. The application of various statistical methods was undertaken in order to aid in analysis of the data. Preliminary correlation analyses yielded some meaningful correlations but had severe limitations. Auto-covariance and auto-correlation analysis for each parameter as well as cross-covariance and correlation tests between a number of parameters yielded useful data …

Into The Crystal Ball For The 1970s, Joe R. Moore

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The beginning of a new decade is always an ideal time to reflect upon the past-and the future. Looking back, the decade of the sixties can be characterized as the decade of tumult, the decade of change, the decade of progress-and depending upon one's past experiences-many other adjectives will probably be equally descriptive.

Science - A Process Approach In Des Moines Elementary Schools, Harold Rathert

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The development of an elementary science curriculum called Science - A Process Approach, which began in 1962, is now approaching completion. This curriculum, for children in kindergarten through grade six, has been developed by the Commission on Science Education of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Study Of Science Facilities

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The National Science Teachers Association is embarking on a nationwide study of facilities for the teaching of science at the secondary school level. The study will cover in-school facilities-laboratories, classrooms, and special-purpose rooms, such as greenhouses and planetariums-and facilities outside the school, such as outdoor education centers that are used for science programs.

The Iowa Academy Of Science As A Directing Influence In Science Education, Robert W. Hanson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The last decade was marked by drastic changes in the studied approach to teaching science and most school subjects. A whole new vocabulary of science education terminology appeared-the process approach, conceptual schemes, Hanson integrated science, audio-tutorial techniques, the multi-media approach, computer-assisted instruction. These and many other phrases can be summed up in the one word innovation, and many educators of the more traditional bent feel a bit uneasy and perhaps defensive about the extent to which innovation is lacking in their teaching.

A False Sense Of "Discovery", Darrell G. Phillips

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Within the past few years the terms "discovery" and "inquiry" have come into vogue in educational circles. These terms, and those of similar connotation, are found in science curriculum programs, magazine and journal articles, and papers presented at professional meetings. It has also become apparent that certain textbook publishers are extremely sensitive to the "in" terms; one finds that such words have been carefully inserted into the introduction or preface of some outdated science textbooks.

How Much Does It Cost To Synthesize A Gene?

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

How much does it cost to synthesize a gene, and who pays for it? University of Wisconsin President Fred Harvey Harrington made an effort to tie down such costs in a report to UW Regents on Dr. Har Gobind Khorana's announcement of the first complete laboratory synthesis of a gene.

The Multi-Media Approach To Biology, Lena M. Keithahn

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

"If at first you don't succeed, you are just about average." This flippant statement of a common experience has led to the multi-media approach in an attempt to make the learning of biology for the average sixteen year old who scores between 35 to 89 on the comprehensive test of the ITED more meaningful and successful.
