Frontiers In Physical Science, William R. Savage
Frontiers In Physical Science, William R. Savage
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
With the fast pace and rapid development of physical science, it is possible for the student to believe that no new problems remain which will require his attention. One may come to the conclusion that no challenging problems remain or that the challenges of today will be solved tomorrow. It is important to regard physical science as a human endeavor with a .future and broad scope. The frontiers exist and are easily described and recognized in all areas.
Rationale For Sequence Of High School Science Courses: Argument For Change, James M. Moulton
Rationale For Sequence Of High School Science Courses: Argument For Change, James M. Moulton
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In this time of rapidly evolving curricula, it is, I fear, redundant and presumptuous for a professor of biology to comment upon secondary school education. This is particularly so if he lacks experience in the problems of secondary school administration and teaching as does the present author. The problems of adequate preparation and appealing to student interests that one encounters at the college and university levels among relatively highly selected students are magnified many, many times at the high school level.
Writing And Evaluating The Laboratory Report, David N. West
Writing And Evaluating The Laboratory Report, David N. West
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
All too often the time-consuming duties of classroom instruction cause laboratory evaluation to take on a minor role. Publishers also have added to this dilemma by burgeoning the market with fill-in-the-blank type laboratory manuals. This paper shows how proper orientation of the student in his laboratory reporting encourages communication skills that include the ability to interpret, analyze, and transmit facts and ideas graphically and in writing. A cognitive approach to the evaluation of these communicative skills may not eliminate paper grading but it will do much toward making it briefer and more productive.
Elementary Science Workshops
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The State Department of Public Instruction and the University of Northern Iowa are cooperatively sponsoring a series of elementary science workshops during the academic year 1968- 1969.

Book Review (Secrets Of The Nucleus, By Joseph S. Levinger)
Book Review (Secrets Of The Nucleus, By Joseph S. Levinger)
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Atomic physics reaches the high school level with Secrets of the Nucleus, a Vistas of Science book by Joseph S. Levinger. Dr. Levinger, Professor of Physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, taps his years of teaching experience to communicate the excitement of nuclear research, often through simple experiments and calculations that are well within the capability of science students in today's high schools.

Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The National Science Teachers Association and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announce twelve regional Youth Science Congresses to be held throughout the United States during the spring of 1969. This is the fifth year the NSTA-NASA sponsored congresses have been held.
A Naturalist At Large: Skin-In, Skin-Out, Marston Bates
A Naturalist At Large: Skin-In, Skin-Out, Marston Bates
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Each semester I arrange a seminar of a dozen or so students who meet one evening a week in the living room of the house. I try to select students with different interests, from different departments of the university, with the idea of getting to know a small but varied sample of the student body. We decide on some topic for discussion during the semester, but whatever the official topic, two subjects - education and sex - always come up, and always generate heated arguments.
A Membership Fairy Tale, Doris M. Timpano
A Membership Fairy Tale, Doris M. Timpano
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
From fairy tale to fact? It can be done! You, the NSTA member, can make the fiction of today turn into the practice of tomorrow through your eagerness to spread the advantages of membership in NSTA to other educators from the kindergarten teacher to the college administrator.

This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn
This Is What I Am!!, Milbert H. Krohn
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Getting to know science teachers about the state is somewhat of a problem for the teacher in smaller Iowa high schools. I suspect that this is a problem of communication rather than one of design by those of us in the less urban areas. When it was suggested that the Iowa Science Teachers' Journal be an avenue for establishing contact I was at first reticent about telling of myself.
A Study Of Terminal And Advanced High School Science Courses In The State Of Iowa, Richard W. Gates
A Study Of Terminal And Advanced High School Science Courses In The State Of Iowa, Richard W. Gates
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Information for the study was obtained through the use of the facilities of the Iowa Educational Information Center at The University of Iowa and through direct correspondence with the schools. Terminal science courses are those courses for non-college bound students, in addition to general science, biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics.

"What Does Membership Mean To The Elementary Teacher?", Gordon Wagner
"What Does Membership Mean To The Elementary Teacher?", Gordon Wagner
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
At a recent in-service meeting in our school, an elementary teacher told me, "We have specialists in our school system who come into my classroom to teach art, music, and physical education. No one helps me teach science! What chance do I have keeping up with the changes in science when I only have a few credits in the first place?"

Let's Teach Geology As The Science Of The Earth, Chalmer J. Roy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The past decade has been marked by spectacular events in science and technology. The launching of Sputnik I in October 1957 was followed by public hysteria in the United States over the low estate of our education in science.

Open Letter From The Ists President, Richard L. Sweeney
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The Iowa Science Teachers Section of the Iowa Academy is growing and is becoming very active in the Science teaching of Iowa. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who in the past have made the Science Teachers Section an organization in which a science teacher can become active in local, district, and state meetings.
An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen
An Analogy Between The Cell And A Factory: A Teaching Technique, Paul A. Christiansen
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Often in a study of the cell and its cellular processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, assimilation, and growth, biology students find it difficult to acquire an adequate idea of how these living processes interact. Synthesis of these separate processes into an organized whole is even more difficult to comprehend. This paper describes an analogy between a factory and the cell that has been found effective as a classroom discussion technique to more clearly illustrate what the cell must do to maintain itself and to divide.

A Method Of Teaching Evolution In High School, Jerome J. Jackson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
A little over a century ago, Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin formally presented the concept of evolution to the world. Since Darwin's publication of The Origin of Species, the theory of evolutionism has been attacked from various quarters, primarily by individuals without scientific backgrounds.

Cba, Chems, Traditional: The Dilemma, Verne A. Troxel
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Since the advent of the CHEMS and CBA chemistry materials, many teachers have been in a state of confusion as to whether they should use these new materials. Perhaps there is now, or soon will be, adequate research available to you so you can make your choice between the two new programs and the more conventional approach to chemistry.
