Simple Radiation Studies In Biology, C. L. Christensen, D. J. Schmidt

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Radioisotopes are a part of modern biological science. Radiation studies can be carried out without great expense. Thus they are available for the secondary level. Projects are easy to develop and can be adapted to any area of biological science. We would like to encourage all biology teachers to incorporate the use of radioisotopes into their programs.

Assistants In High School Science, Henry Leroy Becker, Mary Elizabeth Sievert

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The modern science programs of today have created increased emphasis upon the laboratory situation. With this increased emphasis on laboratory work, the science teacher must spend many hours preparing for laboratory experiences which will meet the needs of the students enrolled in today's and tomorrow's science courses. In order to meet these needs, what alternatives are available to the science teacher in preparation for a laboratory situation?

Some Concepts Of Earth Science For Junior High, Patricia M. Schwirian

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The junior high school has been-and still is-the weakest link in the chain of science education. More interest in science is lost during these two or three years than any other period of a child's education. This is grossly unfortunate because children in this age group have the imagination, enthusiasm, and level of maturity which allows them to profit greatly from the excitement and challenge offered in a good science curriculum.

Separation Of Cardiac Glycosides By Thin-Layer Chromatography, B. J. White, Dennis Oeth

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Two structurally similar cardiac glycosides, digoxin and digitoxin, and their aglycones, digoxigenin and digitoxigenin, were separated by thin-layer chromatography using glass plates coated with silica gel H. Of 50 solvent systems tried, 15 were found to effect excellent separation of digoxin and digoxigenin. Separation of digoxin and digitoxin and their respective aglycones was achieved with three solvent systems. Spots were visualized with meta-dinitrobenzene sodium hydroxide sprays. The lower limit of detection was 10 micrograms of glycoside per square centimeter. This method of separation should prove significant in identifying drug metabolites and determining toxicity levels of cardiac glycosides.

Initiating A Science Club, Marianne Schmitz

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

A science service club may be initiated in any high school where students signify an interest in its objectives and where a sponsor is available who will organize and promote the science activities and duties of its members.

Volunteer Laboratory Assistants In Bscs Biology Program, Lena Keithahn

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

With the introduction of B.S.C.S. Biology and its intense laboratory centered approach into our school curriculum, the need for additional h e l p to check equipment and student findings during class sessions became apparent. The use of volunteer assistants proved to be helpful, not only to the instructor, but also to the student by providing him with an opportunity to be of service to the school and also to carry on supervised research work.

Correlating Data Which Fit The Gompertz Equation Of Growth, Robert G. Sheppard, James O. Osburn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Gompertz equation describes the decay of biological systems in which the rate of decrease of the concentration of an organism varies directly with its concentration and inversely with the concentration of an inhibitor. The inhibitor concentration falls exponentially with time. Four methods are compared for correlating data on the destruction of Ascites tumor cells which fit the Gompertz equation: analytical, graphical, analog computer, and digital computer.
