High schools and colleges alike are challenged again to review course content in Life Sciences in light of this "forward looking" science course at the junior high school level. This manual synthesizes traditional and experimental life science activities into 31 functional laboratory activities.

Improving The Junior High Science Program, Edward M. Chuck

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

An acceptable philosophy for any junior high science program would seem to be one that would help the individual in the solution of those problems which he faces in his daily life. Science teaching, therefore, should be life-centered rather than science-centered.

Teaching Slow Learners In Biology, Mary Placid

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The recurrent question of capacity development for the individual student brings with it the annual problem of helping the slow learner achieve in accordance with his ability. There are primarily five areas of techniques which should be considered when dealing with the slow learner in biology. Application of techniques in these areas will be suggested for groups with I.Q. ranges from approximately 70-85. The areas covered will be: (1) psychology techniques (2) audio techniques (3) visual techniques (4) text requirements (5) laboratory techniques.

Comparative Growth Of Four Species Of Fish In Three Different Types Of Iowa Artificial Lakes, James Mayhew

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Growth of four species of fish are compared in three different types of Iowa artificial lakes and reservoirs. The lakes were classified by similarity of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Scale samples and total length measurements were obtained from 14,705 fish at 71 impoundments. Largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, and white crappie growth was greatest in Group I lakes. Factors influencing differences in growth rate in the three types of impoundments are discussed.

Comparison Between Some Simple Computer-Calculated And Experimental Ion Exchange Elutions, Edward H. Ward, Larry G. Mcrae, Russell W. Maatman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A method for calculating the elution curves for certain ion exchange columns is given. Equilibrium is assumed to be achieved in theoretical plates of finite height. Predicted and experimental elutions agree where it is possible to circumvent non-equilibrium factors by use of the plate concept. Methods are given for elutions both where there is and where there is not co-ion reaction with counter-ion. The mathematical solutions are lengthy because approximations are avoided, necessitating the use of a high-speed computer. Comparisons with experimental results, using Amberlite CG-120 columns, are given for band elution of Na⁺ by HNO₃ elution by …

An Investigation Of College Success Of Odebolt-Arthur High School Graduates, Odebolt, Iowa, Donna Yvonne Hunter

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Throughout the nat1on there is a rapid increase in college and university enrollments. With this ever-increasing enrollment high school students find it necessary to make earlier decisions concerning their future. Such decisions usually bring forth the question, "Will I be able to succeed in college?" Such a question places much responsibility upon the high school counselor to provide students, as well as parents, with objective information concerning this transition from high school to college. Therefore, high school counselors are in need of more valid methods of making recommendations as to possible success in colleges and universities.

An Investigation Of Social Science Materials That May Be Used As Background Reading In A Literature Program, Allan F. Gates

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Today, as perhaps at no time previously, the English department of the American high school has come in for scrutiny and alteration. The most recent convention of Iowa English teachers (April, 1965) found new programs in literature to be "exciting," new approaches to writing "exciting," new developments in advanced classes "exciting". Innovation and renovation are a part of the scene. As many English teachers are beginning to learn, changes in curriculum and in text materials and in approach to the subject are coming so rapidly that no one has had time to assess the changes or to draw any concrete …

An Evaluation Of Demonstrations On Inductor Theory, Boyd Warner Wasson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The writer sought an improved approach for teaching theory of electronics to high school students. This approach was intended to require less expense and time needed to provide classroom instruction on electrical theory.

The purpose of this study were to:

(1) Prepare a number of demonstrations to illustrate phenomena associated with coils or inductors and their use in practical electronics.

(2) Prepare equipment and gather parts needed to perform demonstrations. Ease of construction and economy were important considerations.

(3) Evaluate the effectiveness of the demonstrations on student comprehension and the ability to apply information taught.
