Iowa Science And Humanities Symposium: An Educational Vehicle, Edward L. Pizzini, Charles Philp
Iowa Science And Humanities Symposium: An Educational Vehicle, Edward L. Pizzini, Charles Philp
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
On March 21, approximately 225 secondary students and their teachers will gather at The University of Iowa for the twelfth annual Iowa Science and Humanities Symposium. The theme for the three-day symposium is "Research in the Service of Man." The annual event is held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Iowa Academy of Science, and is sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Office.
Collegiate Programs For Secondary Students: Meeting The Needs Of The Talented, Edward L. Pizzini, Charles Philp
Collegiate Programs For Secondary Students: Meeting The Needs Of The Talented, Edward L. Pizzini, Charles Philp
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The concept "meeting the needs of the individual student" has been paid lip service for years within educational circles. Whether this has in fact been carried out to any appreciable extent is still open to question. Since the inception of the Secondary Science Training Programs (SSTP) by the National Science Foundation in 1959, hundreds of colleges and universities have sponsored special science programs for high-ability students. However, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare stated in November, 1973, that fewer than four percent of this country's talented secondary students were being exposed to programs commensurate with their needs (Williams, 1973). …

The Mini-Patt Approach To Individualizing Instruction, Jimmy R. Jenkins, Gerald H. Krockover
The Mini-Patt Approach To Individualizing Instruction, Jimmy R. Jenkins, Gerald H. Krockover
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In the past, the preparation of audio-tutorial tapes has been tedious and time-consuming. In order to produce a commercial quality audio-tutorial tape, the instructor had to outline the format of the presentation, gather the necessary materials, and prepare a rough tape. This tape was then transcribed into a script, the script was edited (usually by the instructor) and a final tape for instructional purposes was prepared from the edited script. Usually the above sequence of steps required approximately eight to ten hours, which would be spread over a two- or three-day period, with the end product being a 30-minute reel-to-reel …

A Model For Implementing Individualization In The Science Classroom, Barton Philipps
A Model For Implementing Individualization In The Science Classroom, Barton Philipps
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Teachers today find themselves in the middle of tremendous education changes and as teachers they will be expected to play an important part in implementing course revisions. Which part shall they play? Some have closed their eyes to the new directions and hope they will go away, but like the ostrich these teachers are just fooling themselves. The numbers of open classroom elementary schools are increasing and the traditional ways of presenting science in the high schools will encounter greater student resentment. It therefore behooves teachers to begin to look for a way to introduce change in their classroom. What …

Open Letter From The President, Ken Frazier
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Over the past several years I have watched with special interest our appeal for increased membership from the ranks of our elementary teachers of the state. This appeal has been answered with increased numbers of elementary teachers taking active roles in the various science activities sponsored in whole or in part by the Iowa Science Teachers Section of the Iowa Academy.

What's A Kohoutek?, David Hurd
What's A Kohoutek?, David Hurd
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
It was discovered in March of 1973 by Lubos Kohoutek, a German astronomer working at the Hamburg Observatory. The discovery images, on photographic plates taken during an asteroid search, did not indicate the impressive qualities of this travelling space iceberg. It was after 4 weeks of observation that the orbit of this new comet was calculated. The orbit turned out to classify Comet Kohoutek as a member of the "sun-grazers."

To Dye Or Not To Dye, A. C. Haman
To Dye Or Not To Dye, A. C. Haman
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In the beginning there was water and rock, but as plant life evolved, the globe became more colorful. Cool greens gradually enveloped the earth as successive waves of mosses, ferns, conifers and angiosperms conquered the land. In addition new pigments evolved providing artistic man with new mood-creating dyes with which to color his existence. Primitive man utilized dyes to color his skin to frighten his enemies and increase his prestige. Greek ladies, dissatisfied with the color of their hair, used buckthorn, Rhamnus, to stain their hair yellow and add to their charms. European aristocrats of the Middle Ages, traveling …
Selected Outcomes Of A Summer Institute For High School Biology Teachers, Melton E. Golmon
Selected Outcomes Of A Summer Institute For High School Biology Teachers, Melton E. Golmon
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The 1972 University of Iowa Summer Institute for High School Biology Teachers was designed to assist participants in implementing the course, Biological Science: Molecules to Man (Blue Version), developed by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS). The program consisted of eight weeks of classroom instruction and was supported by the National Science Foundation. Instruction was planned to provide the participants with an opportunity to improve their competence in biological subject matter and to become acquainted with teaching strategies inherent in materials produced by BSCS. In order to accomplish these objectives, participants were enrolled in three related courses.

The Effects Of Stimulants On The Pulse Rate, Darrell Young
The Effects Of Stimulants On The Pulse Rate, Darrell Young
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A recent article in Science by Maugh II (1973), dealing with the possible relationship between coffee and heart disease, inspired me to develop and execute a laboratory exercise designed to measure the effects of stimulants on the body. This exercise was, of course, designed to only measure immediate short-term effects, since long-term effects are obviously more difficult to measure.
Bring The Real World Into Your Classroom, Vincent Lunetta
Bring The Real World Into Your Classroom, Vincent Lunetta
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Do your students enjoy working with practical problems that are "real" in their world? Have you been searching for resource materials which will encourage students to deal with practical problems in their own community? Fortunately, such materials are currently under development by the USMES project (Unified Science and Mathematics for Elementary Schools). USMES is producing interdisciplinary materials designed to stimulate students to explore relevant issues in the social as well as the natural sciences.
