The Computer In High School Science Instruction, James J. Hungerford, Richard L. Carter
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Computers appear to have a useful function in futuristic science classrooms. Urquhart states, "computers have a promising future as an instructional tool in biology." The purpose for utilizing computers as supplements to standard educational media is to simulate complex situations or demonstrate complex concepts that would be impractical to duplicate in classrooms due to time consuming computations, expense, or lack of equipment.
Aerosols And The Atmosphere, Darrel Hoff
Aerosols And The Atmosphere, Darrel Hoff
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In recent months concern has been expressed about the effect of certain aerosol sprays on the protective ozone layer of the atmosphere. This is a current environmental issue and it seems an appropriate topic for discussion in the high school science classroom. Like many environmental issues, the aerosol issue is not as clearly defined as is sometimes presented in the general media, and it should therefore be approached with an open mind by both teachers and students.

The Iowa Association of Science Teachers (IAST) was formed in 1907 for "promoting interest in science teaching in secondary schools." This organization functioned for several years as a strong and influential organization with membership in all of the largest secondary schools in the State. Various special reports and newsletters served as the "journal" for this early organization.

The Iowa Academy of Science has a long and distinguished record of encouraging improvement in science education within Iowa's public and parochial schools. Evidence of this may be seen in its support of the Iowa Junior Academy of Science, The Iowa Science Teachers Journal and various Academy committees having as their major concern the promotion of science education. In past years, the Recognition and Awards Committee of Iowa Academy of Science has functioned to identify outstanding science and mathematics teachers in Iowa.

Exotic Food From Fermented Milk, Robert C. Goss
Exotic Food From Fermented Milk, Robert C. Goss
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Whether prepared or bought at the market, yogurt is a dairy product made from milk -- cow, mare, sow, goat, buffalo, etc. Bacteria cultures of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus are added to the milk with the result that the milk sugar is split into lactic acid. The casein, lactalbumin and milk proteins are broken down into peptones and amino acids. Finished yogurt has about 200,000,000 bacteria per ml and is rich in the vitamin B complex. Yogurt making is a manifestation of microbial ecology.
Dirty Books
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
School books are notorious carriers of potentially dangerous bacteria. Books that are handed on to children in one class to their successors in the next year pose a considerable health hazard, according to the Institute for Educational Media, Frankfurt, Germany.

The Christmas Experiment, Glen Loveridge
The Christmas Experiment, Glen Loveridge
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
What will you be doing with your class the last periods before the Christmas break? If you have a strong digestive system, try this production of foamy peanut brittle. It was first suggested in the Journal of Chemical Education, August 1972, by Richard C. Adams of Pleasant Hill High School, Pleasant Hill, Oregon 97401. However, the outline given was for a 90-minute lab, and I have modified it for a 40-minute lab. I have found that with my modifications, all of my students - good or poor - can do this lab.

Iowa Science Teachers Journal
For high school age students the blood types can be a useful introduction to heredity. It has been shown, for example, that if both parents are type O, their children must all be type O: it is recessive to A and to B.

Thanks, I Needed That!, Stanley D. Whelchel
Thanks, I Needed That!, Stanley D. Whelchel
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Each year, when high school students register for their next year's schedule of classes, the guidance counselors and teachers of science and mathematics hear the statement, "I don't need science or mathematics for what I plan to do after I graduate." It seems almost impossible to change their minds. One usually says, "You will need it when you get to college or to technical school." But this statement usually falls upon deaf ears because students have made up their minds that in the fields of work to which they aspire they will not need any additional mathematics or science. Besides, …

This fall skies will be dominated by the planet Jupiter. During October and November Jupiter will be rising near sunset and will be visible nearly all night. An interesting activity for beginning students of astronomy is to identify Jupiter's four brightest moons.
Mobile Career Exploration, Steve Halstead
Mobile Career Exploration, Steve Halstead
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In 1970, the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) began a program on its Ankeny campus known as Career Exploration. The idea was to allow people to explore a career by performing representative work samples. For example, a person exploring Medical Laboratory work would have the opportunity to do blood typing, prepare slides, do urinalysis, and prepare smear cultures. These experiences coupled with information about training requirements, job prospects, and salaries, provided a background on which a career decision could be based.
A Checklist In Science Education For Evaluating Student Teaching, James J. Hungerford
A Checklist In Science Education For Evaluating Student Teaching, James J. Hungerford
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Have you noticed how little some cooperating teachers let their student teachers do? If "learning is by doing," a lot of student teachers aren't learning very much. I've seen student teachers teach only one or two weeks out of nine. Student teachers and supervisors should have a common checklist of activities that they can include as part of the student teaching experience. This may help the teacher who lectures frequently to do something besides talk. The aim would_ be mutual improvement and increased competence.
