Editor's Corner - A Letter To The Editor: Commentary On A Recent Survey Of Iowa Chemistry Teachers, Erwin W. Richter Jan 1990

Editor's Corner - A Letter To The Editor: Commentary On A Recent Survey Of Iowa Chemistry Teachers, Erwin W. Richter

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In the fall of 1989, I conducted a survey of chemistry teachers in the state of Iowa to gather information on the current conditions of chemistry teaching and the continuing education needs of chemistry teachers. This survey asked chemistry teachers about their training in science and chemistry, the percentage of students in their schools who elect to take chemistry, the text books in current use, the amount of time spent in laboratory experimentation and what they saw as their greatest need for update workshops.

Bug Zoo, Martha Voyles, Deborah Charnetski Jan 1990

Bug Zoo, Martha Voyles, Deborah Charnetski

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

We envisioned a conversation something like this taking place at the dinner table of one of our students who had read a chapter on animal habitats that day in school. This imaginary conversation was the impetus for the idea of a classroom "bug zoo." Our goal was to supplement the school district's curriculum with activities that emphasized science process skills and promoted the enjoyment of science and scientific activity. Because we felt that the skills necessary for reading nonfiction are a critical aspect of science instruction, we were committed to using our district's text. We hoped our project would help …

Atmospheric Response To 1988 Drought Conditions And Future Climate Implications, Michael D. Mccorcle Jan 1990

Atmospheric Response To 1988 Drought Conditions And Future Climate Implications, Michael D. Mccorcle

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Plentiful precipitation in the central United States is one of the basic components of the successful agricultural industry in the Corn Belt. A combination of moisture, wind, and topographic factors creates an ideal condition for rainfall over most of the region during the late spring and early summer. In 1988, many ingredients necessary for wet weather were absent. The region experienced a drought unequalled since the 1930's. The drought of 1988 demonstrated chat the symptom of drought, namely, dry soils, can exacerbate and even perpetuate drought conditions by decreasing available moisture, altering circulation patterns vital to storm development, and increasing …

Science Notes - Statement Of The Position Of The Iowa Academy Of Science On The Issue Of Animal Rights Jan 1990

Science Notes - Statement Of The Position Of The Iowa Academy Of Science On The Issue Of Animal Rights

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The Iowa Academy of Science strongly opposes the attempts, made in the guise of "animal rights," to abolish the use of animals as scientific research and teaching subjects. Significant success in life science research has been due, in large, to the use of experimental animals. The rationale for such use lies in the fact that their organ systems, metabolic pathways and genetics have counterparts in humans. Therefore, the information gained from such research has been of enormous value to the welfare of humans and other animals.
