Synopsis
Excerpt from Elementary Practical Physics: A Guide for the Physical Laboratory
It is a mistaken supposition, unfortunately prevailing largely among science teachers, that the Laboratory Method requires a student to discover for himself the important laws and truths of the physical world. The race has been centuries in reaching its present knowledge of Nature's laws, and it is evidently unreasonable to expect the untrained mind of a boy or girl to discover and formulate in one year, or even in several years, the principles discussed in an elementary book on Physics. The office of the school physical laboratory is not one of p/rlginal discovery; but, in the first place, to put the student in the best possible position to see What he looks at, in order that fact-knowledge may be added to word knowledge in the most impressive way by having the head and hand work and learn together; and, in the second place, to tram the faculties to exactness of obser vation, independence and carefulness in forming conclu sions, and good judgment in weighing evidence.
