A Naturalist At Large: Skin-In, Skin-Out, Marston Bates Jan 1968

A Naturalist At Large: Skin-In, Skin-Out, Marston Bates

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Each semester I arrange a seminar of a dozen or so students who meet one evening a week in the living room of the house. I try to select students with different interests, from different departments of the university, with the idea of getting to know a small but varied sample of the student body. We decide on some topic for discussion during the semester, but whatever the official topic, two subjects - education and sex - always come up, and always generate heated arguments.

A Membership Fairy Tale, Doris M. Timpano

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

From fairy tale to fact? It can be done! You, the NSTA member, can make the fiction of today turn into the practice of tomorrow through your eagerness to spread the advantages of membership in NSTA to other educators from the kindergarten teacher to the college administrator.

This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn Jan 1968

This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Getting to know science teachers about the state is somewhat of a problem for the teacher in smaller Iowa high schools. I suspect that this is a problem of communication rather than one of design by those of us in the less urban areas. When it was suggested that the Iowa Science Teachers' Journal be an avenue for establishing contact I was at first reticent about telling of myself.

"What Does Membership Mean To The Elementary Teacher?", Gordon Wagner Jan 1968

"What Does Membership Mean To The Elementary Teacher?", Gordon Wagner

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

At a recent in-service meeting in our school, an elementary teacher told me, "We have specialists in our school system who come into my classroom to teach art, music, and physical education. No one helps me teach science! What chance do I have keeping up with the changes in science when I only have a few credits in the first place?"

An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen Jan 1968

An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Often in a study of the cell and its cellular processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, assimilation, and growth, biology students find it difficult to acquire an adequate idea of how these living processes interact. Synthesis of these separate processes into an organized whole is even more difficult to comprehend. This paper describes an analogy between a factory and the cell that has been found effective as a classroom discussion technique to more clearly illustrate what the cell must do to maintain itself and to divide.

A Method Of Teaching Evolution In High School, Jerome J. Jackson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

A little over a century ago, Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin formally presented the concept of evolution to the world. Since Darwin's publication of The Origin of Species, the theory of evolutionism has been attacked from various quarters, primarily by individuals without scientific backgrounds.

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Since the advent of the CHEMS and CBA chemistry materials, many teachers have been in a state of confusion as to whether they should use these new materials. Perhaps there is now, or soon will be, adequate research available to you so you can make your choice between the two new programs and the more conventional approach to chemistry.

Raising Japanese Quail In The Laboratory, Kashmiri L. Arora Jan 1968

Raising Japanese Quail In The Laboratory, Kashmiri L. Arora

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Within a few years, the use of Coturniz coturnix japonica, popularly known as Japanese quail, as a laboratory research animal has increased tremendously in the United States and also abroad. Currently, a variety of laboratories conducting investigations on different aspects of biological and related areas are using this bird as an experimental animal. We have learned from its use in both individual and class experiments that it is also a very useful animal for classroom experimentation.

Acceptance Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus By Established Tomato Root Cultures, Valerie Halverson Jan 1968

Acceptance Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus By Established Tomato Root Cultures, Valerie Halverson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

With Haberlandt's idea of cultivating individual cells in vitro, cell tissue culture began in 1902. Sporadic work was done in this area through the ensuing years. However, it was not until White's cultivation of tomato roots for an indefinite time span in 1934 that culture study became significant. Most work has been oriented toward the study of the growth and function of the cell. The research has included various nutritional and environmental studies. The proposition of this research is to use established technique for culturing tomato roots in order to go a step further, and use these cultures to study …

Twenty-Five Years As A Starter?, Warren Classon

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The National Science Teachers Association will celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday early in 1969. Your reaction to this announcement of a Silver Symposium event may be somewhat passive. A twenty-fifth birthday, like any anniversary, really has little meaning unless it includes achievement. A look at something of NSTA's history and activities should determine the significance of the event.
