The Historical Dimension Of Science, Doyle Casteel Jan 1966

The Historical Dimension Of Science, Doyle Casteel

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Modern science is in the process of seeking popular self-consciousness. That its methods are human constructs, that its goals are value-oriented, and that its implications are humanistic in their ultimate effect have tended to become the boundaries within which the scientist views his work.

A New Look At Teaching Keys, Phillip Grant Jan 1966

A New Look At Teaching Keys, Phillip Grant

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Teaching taxonomy, classification, and keys to students is sometimes a slow and fruitless process. It seems that there is a fear and dislike of the whole idea of taxonomy among beginning students. I feel this is largely due to the fact that they are pushed into the system of classification and the use of keys without really understanding them.

Growing Fern Gametophytes For Laboratory Use, Daryl D. Smith Jan 1966

Growing Fern Gametophytes For Laboratory Use, Daryl D. Smith

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The life cycle of a fern is often studied in biology laboratories to illustrate the intermediate form between the dominant gametophyte of the bryophytes and the free-living sporophyte of seed plants. The availability of the gametophyte stage of ferns is often limited, making it necessary to produce fern prothallia by some artificial method.

A Comparison Of Methods Of Interpolation, Don Barry Jan 1966

A Comparison Of Methods Of Interpolation, Don Barry

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The original project consisted of refining a new method for square root determination so that a simple, accurate, Barry and single-step method would exist. Naturally, it was hoped that such an examination of the method would lead to other discoveries concerning square roots. Merely for the sake of challenge, it was decided to use as simple mathematics as possible. Eventually, the author was able to develop an equation, not merely a method, for square root determination. However, a proof of this equation has not been discovered.

Simple Radiation Studies In Biology, C. L. Christensen, D. J. Schmidt

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Radioisotopes are a part of modern biological science. Radiation studies can be carried out without great expense. Thus they are available for the secondary level. Projects are easy to develop and can be adapted to any area of biological science. We would like to encourage all biology teachers to incorporate the use of radioisotopes into their programs.

Assistants In High School Science, Henry Leroy Becker, Mary Elizabeth Sievert

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The modern science programs of today have created increased emphasis upon the laboratory situation. With this increased emphasis on laboratory work, the science teacher must spend many hours preparing for laboratory experiences which will meet the needs of the students enrolled in today's and tomorrow's science courses. In order to meet these needs, what alternatives are available to the science teacher in preparation for a laboratory situation?

Some Concepts Of Earth Science For Junior High, Patricia M. Schwirian Jan 1966

Some Concepts Of Earth Science For Junior High, Patricia M. Schwirian

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The junior high school has been-and still is-the weakest link in the chain of science education. More interest in science is lost during these two or three years than any other period of a child's education. This is grossly unfortunate because children in this age group have the imagination, enthusiasm, and level of maturity which allows them to profit greatly from the excitement and challenge offered in a good science curriculum.
