Effective teaching has always been a difficult task. But a hard job done well has always been satisfying regardless of one's management style. Management and evaluation styles may change, but effective teaching has always been proven by having all of the students doing high-quality work.
Recycling Paper To Save Landfills And Trees, William H. Gilbert
Recycling Paper To Save Landfills And Trees, William H. Gilbert
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
While some groups want to save tropical rain forests or marshy wetlands, other conservation-minded groups are interested in judiciously using sanitary landfills, or at least lengthening their lifetime by recycling paper (Hovelson, 1989). The Rolling Hills Audubon Society (RHAS), centered in Indianola (Warren County), sponsored two newspaper collections during 1989 in hopes of raising funds and reducing waste paper going to the South Central Iowa Sanitary Landfill located east of Winterset and south of Highway 92 in Madison County.

Women And Minorities In Technical Courses In Iowa, Myrna Whigham
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Recent national reports indicate that math and science education is in a crisis in the United States (Changing America, 1988 and Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering, 1988). Concern has been expressed by many national groups that we must attract and keep more young people in the pipeline to meet future needs for scientists and engineers. Because the need for scientists is projected to increase by 45 percent, for engineers 32 percent and for technicians 36 percent, but the population of 18-24 year olds entering the labor force is expected to decline, the U.S. must attract more women and …

Science Notes - Could Your Computer Be A Safety Hazard?
Science Notes - Could Your Computer Be A Safety Hazard?
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
The July 1990 issue of Mac World discussed the issue of display terminal safety. The evidence that display monitors emit significant radiation which may be strong enough to be a health hazard has been mounting since the early 1980's. After conducting their own tests, the publishers of MacWorld concluded that extremely low-frequency magnetic field emissions from monitors are worrisome.
