Something From Nothing, W. H. Kadesch Dec 1928

Something From Nothing, W. H. Kadesch

Science Bulletin

Matter made while you wait-hydrogen, helium, oxygen, iron or what will you have? No, it has not quite come to this! But the time-honored law of conservation which states that matter is neither destructible nor creatable is no longer accepted as unquestionably and universally true.


Laboratory Upkeep, R. W. Getchell Dec 1928

Laboratory Upkeep, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

Proper care of the laboratory is the phase of the high' school chemistry teacher's task most apt to be neglected. This and later articles will point out some of the " little things that make perfection."


Fall And Winter Material In Animal Husbandry, H. Earl Rath Dec 1928

Fall And Winter Material In Animal Husbandry, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

Swine are now going to market in large numbers. This offers an excellent opportunity to study market types as represented in the herd and compare them with the sows from which they were produced. If brood sows for spring litters have not all been selected, the teacher has some valuable work for pupils in selecting the better prospects from the available groups.

Introducing Ourselves

Science Bulletin

With this issue of the Science Bulletin, the Iowa State Teachers College enters upon a definite program of class-room service to the teachers of high school sciences of the state. This big family of fifteen hundred science teachers arc handling a b ranch of instruction which is unsurpassed, not only in its fascination but in its rapid development and change in teaching methods and subject matter. You, fellow science teacher, as a member of our great state educational system, are entitled to all of the assistance which this state supported Teachers College can offer you.


Some Suggestions For Winter Study Of Biology In High Schools, Roy L. Abbott Nov 1928

Some Suggestions For Winter Study Of Biology In High Schools, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

Considerable criticism has recently been directed against the commonly accepted methods of teaching Biology in our secondary school and colleges. John Burroughs once re- marked that he had never dissected an animal and was glad of it, implying by this, I take it, that we do not learn Nature by dissecting her children. Recently Wheeler of Harvard, has voiced a similar criticism by saying that our teaching of Biology is suffering from academic dry rot; that laboratory dissection of a dead animal gives the student a knowledge of the details of structure of that animal without giving any knowledge of, …

The Scientific Method, L. Begeman Nov 1928

The Scientific Method, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

What is a perfect recitation? In the fifteenth chapter, page 201 of Dewey's "How We Think" will be found a statement of Herbart's formal steps of instruction. They have been designated as the five perfect steps of a recitation. As Dewey says, "These five steps have had greater and better influence on the 'hearing of lessons' than all other methods put together." Dewey further states "that the underlying notion of these steps is that no matter h ow subjects vary in scope and detail there is one and only one 'best' way of mastering them since there is a 'single …


Some Suggestions For Fall Laboratory Work In Animal Husbandry, H. Earl Rath Nov 1928

Some Suggestions For Fall Laboratory Work In Animal Husbandry, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

Now that the seed corn is selected for next spring, and the frost has put an end to grasses and other outdoor crops, the agricultural instructor often feels that little outdoor material is available for further study. With this in mind I would like to present a laboratory exercise that will provide for some valuable outdoor work, and can be used as the basis for much classroom study as well.


The Beginning Course In High School Physics, L. Begeman Nov 1928

The Beginning Course In High School Physics, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

All authorities on the teaching of physics are agreed that the beginning work of a class in high school physics should be distinctly concrete in nature. It should consist of such subject matter as will readily connect up with the acquired concepts of the student. It is best not to begin with the unfamiliar, abstruse concepts of force, motion and acceleration usually placed first in the high school text.

Organize That Club!

Science Bulletin

Now is the time to organize your Science Club. The cold months are club months. With the closing of the out-door athletic sports the pupils naturally turn to inside activities as outlets for their energies.

Photomograph, L. B. Spinney Jan 1928

Photomograph, L. B. Spinney

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A photometer is arranged in such manner that the screen and the lamp tested are stationary, the standard lamp being adjusted in distance to effect a balance. If the standard is moved by means of a band running over a wheel conveniently near the screen this wheel will revolve through an angle proportional to the distance the standard is moved.

Star Count In The Dark Ring Nebula In Cygnus, D. W. Morehouse, Richard S. Zug Jan 1928

Star Count In The Dark Ring Nebula In Cygnus, D. W. Morehouse, Richard S. Zug

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

To our knowledge the first time this "Bird's Nest" marking was considered as a possible ring of absorbing nebulosity was in 1910 when the senior author noticed the object and mentioned the possibility that it might be an actual ring of dark absorbing nebulosity. The ring is conspicuously evident upon every exposure of long enough duration to exhibit such markings. It is located in the "Labrador" section of the North America Nebula, right ascension 20 hours, 52 minutes, declination plus 45 degrees. Its external diameter is about thirty minutes of arc and its internal diameter about twelve minutes of arc.


An Experimental Study Of Variations In Breath Pressure In The Vocal Vibrato, J. H. Tiffin Jan 1928

An Experimental Study Of Variations In Breath Pressure In The Vocal Vibrato, J. H. Tiffin

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This problem constitutes a part of the experimental work in the psychology of music whose ultimate aim is to discover the objective criteria for artistic performance in vocal and instrumental music. Metfessel has shown, by making graphic representations of the voices of several famous singers, that artistic vocal production almost invariably contains a vibrato, which may be defined as a frequency-intensity fluctuation occurring in a regular periodicity usually not more than eight and one-half times or less than five and one-half times per second, and seldom covering a range of more than one full tone.

Iowa Plant Notes, Iii, R. I. Cratty Jan 1928

Iowa Plant Notes, Iii, R. I. Cratty

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In two former papers the writer listed a number of plants that were noteworthy or new to the Iowa flora. The present paper is a continuation of such notes and records a number of interesting plants that have come to his notice as Curator of the Iowa State College herbarium since the second of these papers was published. The rapid introduction of plants not native to the state, as well as the discovery of native plants not heretofore recorded, makes such publication desirable, as it helps to furnish a basis for the future comparison of our rapidly changing native and …


Color Photography — Methods And Applications In Biology, Ralph O. Marts Jan 1928

Color Photography — Methods And Applications In Biology, Ralph O. Marts

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Color photography by the screen-plate method belongs to the additive processes. The principle is based upon the fact that all color variations can be obtained by the mixing of the three primary colors - red, green and blue. It is not the purpose of this paper, however, to present a discussion of various screen-plates, but rather to show some of the results which may be obtained by the use of such media.


Thomson Effect In Single Crystals Of Zinc, L. A. Ware Jan 1928

Thomson Effect In Single Crystals Of Zinc, L. A. Ware

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Determinations of the Thomson coefficient of single crystals of zinc have been made by the method of Nettleton. For all orientations the coefficient increases with rising temperature (range 50- 200 C). The variation of the coefficient for a single temperature (60° C) as a function of crystal orientation was discussed.
