Raising Japanese Quail In The Laboratory, Kashmiri L. Arora
Raising Japanese Quail In The Laboratory, Kashmiri L. Arora
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Within a few years, the use of Coturniz coturnix japonica, popularly known as Japanese quail, as a laboratory research animal has increased tremendously in the United States and also abroad. Currently, a variety of laboratories conducting investigations on different aspects of biological and related areas are using this bird as an experimental animal. We have learned from its use in both individual and class experiments that it is also a very useful animal for classroom experimentation.

Acceptance Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus By Established Tomato Root Cultures, Valerie Halverson
Acceptance Of Tobacco Mosaic Virus By Established Tomato Root Cultures, Valerie Halverson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
With Haberlandt's idea of cultivating individual cells in vitro, cell tissue culture began in 1902. Sporadic work was done in this area through the ensuing years. However, it was not until White's cultivation of tomato roots for an indefinite time span in 1934 that culture study became significant. Most work has been oriented toward the study of the growth and function of the cell. The research has included various nutritional and environmental studies. The proposition of this research is to use established technique for culturing tomato roots in order to go a step further, and use these cultures to study …
Twenty-Five Years As A Starter?, Warren Classon
Twenty-Five Years As A Starter?, Warren Classon
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The National Science Teachers Association will celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday early in 1969. Your reaction to this announcement of a Silver Symposium event may be somewhat passive. A twenty-fifth birthday, like any anniversary, really has little meaning unless it includes achievement. A look at something of NSTA's history and activities should determine the significance of the event.

The Readability Of Bscs Textbooks, James C. Slaughter
The Readability Of Bscs Textbooks, James C. Slaughter
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Since they appeared, the BSCS materials have been widely acclaimed by science educators, and justly so. They represent a contribution toward the movement away from the traditional teaching patterns and toward the modern approach to teaching of science, that is as inquiry.
Science Education In The Middle Or Junior High School Grades, Robert H. Carleton
Science Education In The Middle Or Junior High School Grades, Robert H. Carleton
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The following article has been condensed from a review paper which Mr. Carleton prepared as a basis for a seminar which he was invited to lead at the Third Annual International Curriculum Conference in Oxford, England, in September 1967. Mr. Carleton's editorial in this issue of TST was inspired by the program of the Curriculum Conference.

Letter To The Editor, William W. Berg
Letter To The Editor, William W. Berg
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
I feel moved to call to your attention an item from Mr. Jackson's article in the February issue of The Iowa Science Teachers' Journal, "A Method of Teaching Evolution in High School." Though it is not the major area of the article's discussion, the author's treatment of the Earth's origin irritated me.
Fortifying Laboratory Inquiry Through The Use Of Scientific Articles, Bernard W. Benson
Fortifying Laboratory Inquiry Through The Use Of Scientific Articles, Bernard W. Benson
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Using scientific articles in teaching is in itself no innovation. Baumel and Berger (1965) provided an excellent approach to this task. I find no argument with the format they proposed. However, I do question their statement which follows concerning student outcomes from such experiences.

Minutes Of The Meeting Of The Flat Society Of Lower Speight Avenue, O. T. Hayward
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
This is a review of an effort-largely experimental-to improve the introductory geology course at Baylor University by involving the student in actual research in the teaching process and in geology. An effort has been made, and will be expanded, to remove most of the artificial restraints imposed by formal lecture-laboratory courses.

The Overhead Projector As An Aid To Laboratory Instruction, Larry L. Schenken
The Overhead Projector As An Aid To Laboratory Instruction, Larry L. Schenken
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
In many cases the science teacher overlooks the possibility of using the overhead projector during laboratory sessions. Projectors often are covered with dust jackets and shoved into a comer like some unwanted piece of old furniture as soon as a lab activity is started. With a bit of planning these machines may become an integral part of almost any laboratory experience.

Early Ontogenesis In Chickens - Some Quantitative Measurements, Kashmiri L. Arora
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Developing bird's eggs have been a material of choice for the workers investigating various physical and chemical phenomena associated with development since the turn of the twentieth century. Very recently, attention has been focused on the examination and elucidation of the roles played by genetics and various extrinsic environmental factors in the development of early embryos.

What does your high school do to provide for an interesting and enriching experience in science for the average student? Since the beginning of PSSC in 1956 all too many of us have been guilty of neglecting the high school general education science program.

Can A Young Man Whose Mind Is On Girls, Booze, Skiing, And High-Class Parties Win The Nobel Prize?, Peter Farb
Can A Young Man Whose Mind Is On Girls, Booze, Skiing, And High-Class Parties Win The Nobel Prize?, Peter Farb
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The Double Helix is a brief story of the structure of the genetic material DNA. As such, it is exceedingly valuable to the historian of science. But another, somewhat irreverent aspect of the book, to be discussed later in this review, makes it an important document for the general reader as well and one that deserves wide reading.
Flexible-Modular Scheduling With The Slow Learner, Eugene Balk
Flexible-Modular Scheduling With The Slow Learner, Eugene Balk
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
At Mason City High School this year something new has been added in the biology curriculum. It is part of the New Design, better known as Phase II Flex. Approximately 160 sophomores are in the program and are known as low achievers for various reasons. One of the reasons is that they are no longer interested in school. The lack of interest may be due to the traditional school day (fifty-five minutes, six periods a day) or to the fact that the students have never achieved success in anything they have attempted in school.
