A New Approach To The Training Of Chemistry / Physics Teachers, Kenneth E. Borst
A New Approach To The Training Of Chemistry / Physics Teachers, Kenneth E. Borst
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In 1950, during my first week as a junior high school science teacher, it became apparent to me that my training to become such a teacher was almost a complete waste of time. I have also observed that there has been very little effort on the part of colleges to change the situation.

Given: The Chance, Claire Marie Patik
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
This paper presents some practical suggestions for motivating the "educationally uninvolved" student on the one hand, and challenging the intellectually gifted student on the other. Teacher-planned, but student-oriented and directed, three courses geared to the pace of the individual student, are described. The net result of two of these courses as approached the past two years, is a reason- able degree of success leading to a strong acceptance on the part of the author of the basic philosophy of "Schools Without Failure.“ The third is a new plan to be introduced in the author's school in the fall of 1971.

Entropy, The Universe And Man, Peter H. Sweedy
Entropy, The Universe And Man, Peter H. Sweedy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
"You can't unscramble an egg." This phrase and many others throughout literature are examples of what physicists have come to call entropy. The concept of entropy is unique because, unlike the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy, there is no principle of conservation of entropy.

True or false: Most desert animals whose life styles keep them out and around during the day are light in color because, as scientists know, light coloration reflects heat and desert animals would naturally evolve in that direction?
A Comparison Of Girls' Achievement In Unisexual And Bisexual Physics Classes, Robert L. Hare
A Comparison Of Girls' Achievement In Unisexual And Bisexual Physics Classes, Robert L. Hare
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A battle cry heard for the past few years is, "Why have physics enrollments not increased?" There have been many possible solutions to the problem, and many of them have had some success. For example, the Physical Science Study Committee and Harvard Project Physics have done much in creating interest in physics and thus have helped to increase physics enrollment. Also, the emphasis on laboratory experiences and the increase in audiovisual aids have contributed in making the physics classroom more enticing. It is the writer's opinion that a possible source of physics students might come from those of the female …

Group Independent Study: A Unique Approach To Undergraduate Research, James E. Privett
Group Independent Study: A Unique Approach To Undergraduate Research, James E. Privett
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Briar Cliff College has a program of independent study in the student's major field during the junior and senior years. In the past the program was used for library research projects and independent laboratory projects. In all cases the projects were truly independent, that is, separate projects for different students with no interconnections between projects. The investigator felt that it would be advantageous if all of the senior chemistry majors and some of the junior chemistry majors who felt ready for the experience would work on the same general research project but with each student studying just one aspect of …

Science For The Educationally Uninvolved Student, Joe R. Moore
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In looking at science in today's high schools, one can come up with the following statistics. There are approximately four million students at each grade level between grades nine to 12. In biology classes we find 1.85 million students, in chemistry about 1.25 million and in physics only .25 million students. Over half of these students are enrolled in terminal or "slow-track" science courses, where they are neglected or forgotten, taught by the beginning teacher in a non-lab-oriented classroom. Almost every high school has a science course where the so-called "slow-learners" have been placed. These courses may come under a …

What Is A.T.T.V. Biology?, Charles Frederick
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A.T.T.V. Biology (Audio-tutorial Television Biology) is an approach to teaching a subject which is paced by closed circuit educational television. The curriculum material of the course is divided into units of work (modules). Each module consists of one week's classroom activities. For each module there are objectives and learning experiences to be completed within that week. The module suggests the minimal work expected of the student, and the student works directly from the module guide. When the student has completed the minimal learning experiences, he is free to pursue additional activities that are listed in the module. This is where …
