A Study Of Physics, Chemistry And Advanced Science Enrollments In Iowa's Area Ten With Reference To Enrollment Patterns In The State Of Iowa, Richard E. Mcqueen

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

This study was initiated under the assumption that advanced science courses could be shown to detract from physics enrollments, thus establishing one possible cause of the continuously declining enrollments in physics in Iowa's Area Ten and nationwide. Initial work failing to support this relationship, a study of chemistry enrollments was added, chemistry enrollments being felt to be indicative of emphasis on science, with or without an advanced course. Information on enrollments in Area Ten was taken directly from teachers' responses to a questionnaire on such enrollments for 1969-70, received from all 43 public and seven parochial, private or special schools …

The Only True Multi-Medium Is The Human Being, Milbert Krohn

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

I would like to react to the present mood of our culture by paraphrasing a statement from Lewis Mumford's great book, The Myth of the Machine.

" And then he says, "The only true multi-medium remains the human organism itself."
