Ways To Use The Overhead Projector, Bert A. Murphy
Ways To Use The Overhead Projector, Bert A. Murphy
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The overhead projector, a familiar sight in many science rooms, can be used in a number of interesting ways. In chemistry, I use the overhead to demonstrate reaction rates of metals in acids. Just put your beakers (labeled with wax pencil on the bottom) on the overhead and watch the reactions take place on the wall. You can, also, demonstrate titration end points with the overhead. The colored indicators show up nicely.

The purpose of this article is to describe a method used by the author to introduce a group of high school students to the research method. The initial search of literature and type of experimentation always require much expenditure of time and effort. Beyond a doubt the most consuming part of the entire investigation is verification of data obtained.

Collection And Culture Of Lower Animal Forms, Cameron L. Christensen
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The trend in secondary biology is to use living material in so far as it is possible. Biology instruction, as it has advanced beyond the descriptive level, has included more projects requiring living animals. The local collecting and culturing of some of these organisms adds just that much more biological experience to the course.
