Wings, Roy L. Abbott Mar 1932

Wings, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

When 'wings' are mentioned, most people at once think of birds. But wings, and the consequent power of flight, are by no means limited to birds. Among the mammals, for example, bats have wings and are excellent flyers. In both birds and bats, the wings are merely modified front legs.

The Project In Chemistry, Donald D. Pettit Mar 1932

The Project In Chemistry, Donald D. Pettit

Science Bulletin

Some time ago the writer became convinced that the typical presentation of high school chemistry left many things to be desired, especially with that group who are completing their scholastic work with their high school diploma. As a rule they are leaving school pretty thoroughly disgusted with class work in general, and, although they had originally intended to continue in school as evidenced by their election of chemistry, they find that the prospect offers no allure. In many cases I am afraid that the course in chemistry helped to turn them from further scholastic endeavor. In order to furnish some …

A Great American Scientist, W. H. Kadesch Mar 1932

A Great American Scientist, W. H. Kadesch

Science Bulletin

"Dr. Albert A. Michelson, 78, discoverer of the speed of light, and one of the greatest scientists of modern times, died here at 3 :10 p.m. Saturday. "Death came quietly to the man whose work made it possible to know the distance of the stars. "It came on the eve of success of what he called his 'last experiment,' the most precise and extensive in physics-the exact determination of the speed of light." So ran the opening paragraphs of a long and appreciative front page article in the Des Moines Sunday Register of May 10, 1931. And in a similar …

Waves, L. Begeman Mar 1932

Waves, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

Of all the phenomena of the physical world, none is more important than that of waves. The average individual naturally assumes that the only waves of any importance in nature are water waves. To the student of science, however, there are other waves in nature far more important than those which we see rolling over the surface of a lake or of the ocean.

The High-Powered Skunk, Roy L. Abbott Mar 1932

The High-Powered Skunk, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

I can think of no animal that is at once so provoking and repelling of attention as the common skunk. His bright little face, clean black and white fur, plume-like tail, and fat roly-poly body all invite one to take liberties with him, yet a single move towards such familiarity, and he is transformed instantly into a thing vilely incredible, paralyzing, stupefying, insufferable.

Caves, O. B. Read Feb 1932

Caves, O. B. Read

Science Bulletin

Man's interest in caves dates back perhaps to prehistoric times. He probably used them as homes in his very earliest history. It is in caves that we find bones believed to be of primitive man. As he became civilized he developed and prepared for himself houses to live in and his interest in caves has taken on an entirely different aspect. They have become a source of curiosity or a field for scientific study.

The Inert Gases, R. W. Getchell Feb 1932

The Inert Gases, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

Nitrogen gas is lazy. A chemical revolution may enlist and lead away nearly every other element and compound in the air, but nitrogen will stay at home and refuse to become excited. Less than forty years ago, Lord Rayleigh in England made use of this characteristic by removing the other components of the air and collecting the remaining supposedly pure nitrogen in order to study it.

Suggestions For Biology Or Nature Clubs, Ross W. Harris Feb 1932

Suggestions For Biology Or Nature Clubs, Ross W. Harris

Science Bulletin

The very first requirement for a successful club of this nature is enthusiasm for and an interest in the. world of living things. The sparks for kindling enthusiasm must come from off the hearth of the sponsor. While the students must be guided they should be led to feel that it is their program that they are working out and not that of a teacher who grants credit for participation.

A Successful Club Project In Biology Feb 1932

A Successful Club Project In Biology

Science Bulletin

A few years ago when the author was teaching biology in a suburban high school of Chicago, the tussock moth became a menace to the shade trees in that vicinity. The biology students took up the problem of the tussock moth and how to eradicate it. The life history and habits of the moth were studied. Collections were made to show the life history. The Commercial Club became interested and a talk on the moth was given by a club member at one of their meetings.

Remarkable Remarks: Editorial Feb 1932

Remarkable Remarks: Editorial

Science Bulletin

In a recent book, "The Mysterious Universe," the author, Sir James Jeans, says that "the total number of stars in the universe is probably something like the total number of grains of sand on all the seashores of the world." In another book of his, "The Stars in Their Courses," published about the same time, he repeats the above statement and adds: "or to take another comparison, the total number of stars in the universe is probably about equal to the number of drops of rain which fall on the whole of London in a day of heavy rain."

Consider The Sparrow Feb 1932

Consider The Sparrow

Science Bulletin

Most of the birds which you and I know best are fair-weather friends. That is to say, they stay with us just so long as the sun is warm and food is plentiful, but when winter comes, they forsake us. Nearly all of our common birds behave thus, which must mean, if birds are anything like humans, that it is our climate and not ourselves that they like.

The Use Of Posters In Club Work Feb 1932

The Use Of Posters In Club Work

Science Bulletin

Posters furnish excellent illustrative material for club programs and will add much interest to the work. There are usually members of the club who have artistic ability and can make use of their ability in this way, but it is not necessary to be an artist in order to make good posters or cartoons, as excellent results can be obtained by cutting advertisements from magazines and arranging them and pasting them on cardboard so as to illustrate various subjects. The value of the poster does not depend upon its artistic side but in the clever representation and emphasis of some …

National Geography Meetings, Alison E. Aitchison

Science Bulletin

The Christmas vacation always brings a full quota of meetings of interest to those who are engaged in educational work. Especially does this seem true for those interested in science. Two meetings of value to geographers were held at Ypsilanti, Michigan, where the new Union building, an alumni project of the Michigan State Normal College, afforded an excellent meeting place.

The Lure Of The Turtle, Roy L. Abbott Jan 1932

The Lure Of The Turtle, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

I believe I never meet with a turtle without looking at him a second time at least, and I usually pick him up if I have an opportunity. For there is a lure about him, he attracts me powerfully though I can not tell just why. It may be partly admiration for his mighty ancestry, partly pity for his fallen estate, but some of it is just plain, everyday liking for his rather unprepossessing self. But there is plenty to see in him for all that!

Current Induction, L. Begeman Jan 1932

Current Induction, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

The modern transformer, now quite generally used in the commercial distribution of electrical power in the cities of the world, ranks next to the dynamo in importance in the electrical world. The transformer is an invention which embodies. the practical application of Faraday's first experiment in current induction, in which a closed iron ring carrying a primary coil and a secondary coil was used.
