Branching, Ed Harris
Branching, Ed Harris
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
For many years I have observed and photographed visual patterns. Sometimes I stumble upon them, and other times I search to find them, record them and perhaps make some sense of the relationships I see in the many variations. In the early '70s I began to put these observations together and to classify the many patterns into branching and layering. These two systems I see as primal information from which the human can better understand an underlying structure in the universe. These universal patterns act as building blocks to many diverse and complex forms and phenomena. The images and ideas …
University Of Iowa Model For Science Teacher Education, Robert E. Yager
University Of Iowa Model For Science Teacher Education, Robert E. Yager
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Teachers can learn to assess their teaching performance and to use such information for improvement. Several observations and experiments have led to the formulation of a model at the University of Iowa which continues to grow and to be modified as experiences with it dictate. The model has evolved from over two decades of efforts. However; it has matured as a result of the NSF supported Iowa-UPSTEP program (a teacher-education development effort which enjoyed ten years of support), and the NSTA Search for Excellence project which arose from a 1977-80 NSF research effort called Project Synthesis (Harms & Yager, 1981).

Editor's Corner - Support And Growth, Carl W. Bollwinkel
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
Having now begun my fifth year as editor of the Iowa Science Teachers Journal (ISTJ), I have become quite certain of the optimum role of the ISTJ and the factors needed for that role to be filled. Inside the front cover of the ISTJ is stated that the Journal is dedicated to the improvement of science teaching and the stimulation of interest in scientific studies. If a strong science education program is to be maintained in Iowa, this publication must include material for science teachers from elementary through graduate science methods.

What Every Young Iowa Child Should Know, Judith Amfahr
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
For where do we have greater opportunities to teach awareness of environment, the beauty of nature, and the good life, than right here in Iowa? And regardless of your district science curriculum, these themes can be tucked between, or incorporated into existing units of study. Often it takes just the right story to stimulate thinking and encourage children to ask questions and seek knowledge. Share with the children in your class the best authors that are available. Try to select authors that reflect love of the environment and real life experiences in their writings. The fiction books that you use …
