Teachers are constantly being reminded of the importance of making evaluations of student achievement. Evaluations should be made both for the measurement of the progress of the pupil and for determining the effectiveness of the teacher himself. Methods, tools, and techniques for making these evaluations are topics of common interest and continuous discussion in the teaching fraternity.

An Analysis Of Student Outcomes In An Nsf Summer Institute For High-Ability Science Students, Glenn A. Isserstedt
An Analysis Of Student Outcomes In An Nsf Summer Institute For High-Ability Science Students, Glenn A. Isserstedt
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
After standardized testing of high-ability science students who were participants in a National Science Foundation Summer Science Institute, there is evidence to indicate that their understanding of science intangibles is dependent upon the section of the program in which they were enrolled. The participants in the mathematics and biochemistry sections demonstrated significantly better understanding of science.
Open Letter To Science Teachers, Frank W. Starr
Open Letter To Science Teachers, Frank W. Starr
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A wise choice of emphasis was made in 1932 when the Junior Academy of Science was organized and supported by the Iowa Academy of Science. All activities involved secondary teachers and students. Activities included science club, community-service projects, individual and group science projects, essays, and an annual meeting in conjunction with the Iowa Academy of Science.
The Dual Crisis In Science And Society, Barry Commoner
The Dual Crisis In Science And Society, Barry Commoner
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Our present achievements in science and technology appear to contrast vividly with our present lack of achievement in solving social problems. We can nourish a man in the supreme isolation of outer space-but we cannot adequately feed the children of Calcutta or Harlem. We hope to analyze life on other planets-but we have not yet learned to understand our own neighbors. We are attempting to live on the moon-but we cannot yet live peacefully on our own planet.
Etymology: A Plea For Its Use In Early Education, Charles J. Ellis
Etymology: A Plea For Its Use In Early Education, Charles J. Ellis
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
My belief, based upon watching numerous students mature at Iowa State University, is, if etymology were stressed in primary and secondary schools, more older students would feel less burdened with so-called big, scientific names as well as nonscientific terms.

A Change And A Parting: Nuffield Biology In England, Carmon Slater
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
An appreciation of the problems encountered by curriculum innovations in England cannot truly be gained without first catching a glimpse of the educational system in this country, particularly the secondary school system. The British secondary student will usually be found in one of three basic secondary schools, i.e., the traditional grammar school, the secondary modem school, or a comprehensive secondary school.

Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Enrollments in high school and college physics have been declining in a serious fashion over the past few years. As a result, it is estimated that probably less than 10 per cent of the present national population has any experience in physics.

A Different Approach To The Study Of Pressure-Volume Relationship Of Gases, Harold Wengert
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
One of the problems in teaching science for general education is that all too often the ideas and concepts are given to the prospective learner before he has had an opportunity to wrestle with them himself.

Did you greet eager, inquisitive students last September that for some reason unknown to you became inactive and bored by May? What possibly is the cause for the decline in student enthusiasm?
A Summary Of A Survey Of Science Taught In Hampton Elementary Schools, Kenneth E. Moeller
A Summary Of A Survey Of Science Taught In Hampton Elementary Schools, Kenneth E. Moeller
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In 1957 the Russians put an artificial satellite into orbit. Since that time science education in the United States has been experiencing a steady change. This change has not only been in course name and content but also in new methods of science teaching. The role of the science teacher is most important in the teaching of the new science materials. The instructor must be able to guide and direct the activities of the students, not just spew forth information. Often in the past, the instructor has taught as he had been taught. Most courses now are developed along these …

An Accurate Method For The Determination Of Surface Area, Larry L. Schenken
An Accurate Method For The Determination Of Surface Area, Larry L. Schenken
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Many times it is necessary for teachers or students to determine the surface area of irregular objects (e.g., leaves) during laboratory investigations. The usual procedure involves laboriously tracing the outline of the object on graph paper, counting the number of square units on the paper, and then adding some "fudge factor" to estimate partially encircled squares.

Open Letter To Science Teachers, Clifford G. Mccollum
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Our responsibilities as science educators have never been greater than they are today." I know personally that such a statement has been made regularly since the 1930s, and I suspect it was commonplace some before that. These responsibilities have had various emphases identified as the reason for their being. The emphases have included such applications as those made to industry, engineering, medicine, warfare, and space exploration.
