Synopsis

Excerpt from Elements of General Science

Earth's Crust there is an added tepic, The Earth in Rela tion to other Astronomical Bodies. Considerable new mate rial on nutrition and proper care of the human body is added. Particular attention has been given to relations which the studies bear to household problems as well as to those of the community and of the industries. At the beginning of each chapter a list of Questions for Discussion is given. It is expected that when beginning the work of each chapter the pupils and teacher will read and discuss the questions briefly. These questions recall pupils' previous experiences and set up new problems whose brief consideration gives significant purpose to the text and experimental work which follows. After the chapter has been studied, the questions provide the best means of review. About fifty additional illustrations are included.

Product Description

Excerpt from Elements of General Science Science instruction in the first year of the high school has presented one of the most serious problems in secondary-school work. First-year pupils usually do not possess a large fund of information about the common phenomena of nature, or they may not attempt a scientific interpretation of these phenomena. This lack in abundant, concrete, and rationalized experience has made it extremely difficult to secure the desired results from the first science course through presentation of any one of the differentiated sciences. Experiments have been under way in different parts of the United States for several years with the purpose of securing an organization of science materials and a method of presentation which shall prove more educative. It has been the object of these experiments to develop a more usable fund of knowledge about common things and a more scientific attitude in interpreting common problems, and to discover and to utilize interest and ability in such ways that more effective and more profitable work may thereafter be done in the differentiated sciences. These experiments have shown uniformity in their attempt to use the point of view of the relatively uninformed pupil, and while they have followed several lines of effort, in the main they have come to use a similar body of knowledge. The course presented in this book is the result of six years of experiment with a number of pupils, averaging about one hundred per year. During this time several persons have assisted in teaching the course and have made contributions to it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
