The Objectives Of The Earth Science Curriculum Project: An Evaluation Of Their Achievement, Musa Y. Qutub, Keith M. Hussey
The Objectives Of The Earth Science Curriculum Project: An Evaluation Of Their Achievement, Musa Y. Qutub, Keith M. Hussey
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The textbook Investigating the Earth and its companion two-volume Teacher's Guide were conceived, written, and tested by a group of scientists and educators brought together for that specific purpose. A primary objective was to produce an earth science course that could replace the increasingly unsatisfactory and outdated general science program. The three main themes outlined for the program were behavioral, conceptual, and historical. Its major objective was to offer the ninth-grade students an interdisciplinary earth science course that would provide a view of our dynamic planet through the use of scientific concepts, such as space, time, energy, motion, and matter, …

How We Raise Paramecium, Easily, In Large Numbers, Eugene C. Bovee, Sandra C. Thompson, Mercedes L. Acuña
How We Raise Paramecium, Easily, In Large Numbers, Eugene C. Bovee, Sandra C. Thompson, Mercedes L. Acuña
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
We use more Paramecium spp. in our Physiological Protozoology course at the University of Kansas than any other cells, and use them in great numbers each week, so that we wish to avoid the cost of buying them commercially. Therefore, we raise our own cultures. For over twenty years the senior author has used the easy method described here to raise large numbers of Paramecium aurelia, P. cauclatum, or P. multimicronucleatum, with consistent success.
