The Maligned And Misunderstood North American Badger, Richard Lampe
The Maligned And Misunderstood North American Badger, Richard Lampe
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The common though highly elusive North American badger is seldom seen and often misunderstood. When badgers are encountered by man, the experience is frequently startling to both parties. Impressions based on such limited and stress-filled information are biased. For example, it is widely believed that this member of the family Mustelidae (which also includes skunks, otters and weasels) is vicious, mean and aggressive. However, personal experience with badgers gained from studies over the past 10 years indicates that, although quite capable of defending themselves, badgers are shy, secretive and good bluffers.

A Tip About Controversy, James Hungerford
A Tip About Controversy, James Hungerford
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Under certain circumstances, scientific theory may conflict with the existing views of the community in which you teach. Such controversy, if handled properly, may serve as a vehicle for stimulating learning and understanding. Such issues, handled improperly, often result in chaos for everyone involved. As a professional educator, the responsibility for "if' and "how" controversial issues are faced in the classroom is yours.

Need For Greater Concern For Nutrition In Science Programs, Robert E. Yager
Need For Greater Concern For Nutrition In Science Programs, Robert E. Yager
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Effective teaching of basic nutrition is a major deficiency in the schools of our nation. Although nutrition is one of approximately a dozen central themes generally recognized as comprising biology, it is an area which tended to be de-emphasized during the 1960's and early 70's. Nutrition was usually too applied in nature to be a major focus within the NSF curricula which were organized around the conceptual themes which characterize and unify the various disciplines of science. One of the first changes in the development of the so-called "new courses" of the 1960's was the elimination of any applications of …
