Adequacy Of The High School Science Vocabulary In Biology In Filling The Needs For Normal Reading Of Popular Magazines, Clarence H. Stinemetze

Master's Theses

The problem as implied in the title of this report has been an attempt to evaluate in terms of the vocabulary of the high school biology textbooks adopted by the State of Kansas. This study used five current magazines which were available to the students at the high school circulation desk, at the public library, on magazine counters, and in the home library.

A Comparative Study Of Directed Laboratory And Lecture Demonstration As Methods Of Instruction In Teaching Botany To High School Students, M. Lucida Vorndran Aug 1945

A Comparative Study Of Directed Laboratory And Lecture Demonstration As Methods Of Instruction In Teaching Botany To High School Students, M. Lucida Vorndran

Master's Theses

A controlled investigation of green plants as the most important food factories of the world has been made in order to contribute more information upon the issue. Stated more specifically, the problems of this experimental study were the following: To determine which of the two methods, if either, is superior as a procedure for learning. To determine whether laboratory experiments are more effective than lecture-demonstration in training students to think clearly, to correlate and retain facts; and finally, to draw logical conclusions. To determine, if possible, which method stimulated the greater amount of pupil interest.


The Botany Laboratory, S.J. Neher Jul 1931

The Botany Laboratory, S.J. Neher

Master's Theses

In the present work it has been my purpose to present a descriptive list of laboratory exercises in botany which is predictable and useable under the existing conditions of the average small high school of western Kansas. To be more specific these exercises may be used by a teacher without special training in botany, in a crowded curriculum, and with little laboratory equipment. Most of the apparatus needed may be improvised by the pupil, and the plants called for are common in any community in the western half of Kansas.
