Improved Methods In Science Teaching, Louise Hearst

Science Bulletin

Pasteur has said that "in our century science is the soul of the prosperity of nations and the living source of all progress." Teachers of this important branch of knowledge, then, should carefully consider the methods of instruction in the science departments of our secondary schools. As these methods vary considerably, no general criticism of them will be attempted here. However there are certain fundamentals that merit attention, and in this paper we will examine three of them.

Measuring The Stars, W. H. Kadesch

Science Bulletin

Walking out on any clear and moonless night, one is thrilled at the sight of the seeming myriad of twinkling stars. To the artistically inclined, there is beauty and majesty, to the philosophically minded, food for speculation. ·where a r e these stars, what are they, whence come they, and ·whither do they go? Are they unchangeable through the aeons or do they progress through youth, maturity, old age, and finally into stellar death and oblivion? We ca n follow briefly only one or two of these speculations in these few short paragraphs.

Plant Study In General Science, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The general science course in most high schools is conspicuous by its lack of plant study. Usually there is a brief study of micro-organisms, but the higher plant is often completely ignored. Why is this? Is it because the subject matter of plant study is of a special nature and is not of general importance? Ts it because plant study is not of interest and cannot be adapted to beginners in high school? Perchance it is because most of our general science textbooks have been written by physicists and chemists.

Editorial

Science Bulletin

Scientific standardization, both of materials and labor, is one of the most outstanding developments of the last decade in the industrial world. Apparently the last group of people to apply this method to their own problems are the very ones who originated the principle. We refer to the scientists and especially to the teachers of science. Our study of the science course offered in secondary schools and our experience with college students in science emphasize the entire lack of uniformity among high school science courses.

Health Education, Belva L. Swalwell

Science Bulletin

Health work is so fundamental and so important that it cannot be left out of the high school course without seriously handicapping the individual, the state, and the nation. The recent state Iaws regarding health education place it, in effect, on a basis with other subjects. In other words, health education becomes one of the five major subjects running through the entire curriculum.

Laboratory Work In Poultry, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

It is probable that the winter feeding, housing and management problems of poultry have been taken up in class before this time. If not, the alert agricultural instructor can develop some very practical laboratory work by conducting a survey in the community of the conditions under which poultry is kept, and then comparing the results obtained from flocks cared for under varying conditions.

Atmospheric Pressure, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

An account of the experiment reached Paris the next year and came to the notice of Pascal. He could not try the experiment until 1646 when glass tubes were available to him. Pascal reasoned that if the atmosphere supported the mercury column, the height of the column should be lessened when the apparatus was carried to a high altitude.

Teaching Reading In The First Grade, Florence E. Moran

Bachelors’ Theses

Reading is not only the most important, but also the most widely discussed and complex subject in the school curriculum. It is the most important, for it is intimately related to all the other school subjects and is essential to every branch of knowledge. Without a knowledge of reading the pupil cannot engage effectively in any desirable life activity. Its primary importance in the curriculum may be gauged by the relatively large amount of time devoted to the subject, the countless number of ingenious teaching devices, the many scientific investigations, as well as the thorough and recent research work done …

Book Aids For The Teacher Of Geography In The Elementary School, Stella M. Frye

Bachelors’ Theses

In America, the development of the study of geography has been very slow, and until recent years, this country could boast of very few geographers, and had made little progress in the field of geographic research. Germany and France have long been leaders in this field, and some of the moot reliable authorities on the subject are the French and German geographers. Almost every country in Europe "now has its professional geographers and geography has long been recognized as a subject for independent study and research."

Simple Experiments To Show Atmospheric Pressure, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

The teacher of general science in a small high school often lacks complete laboratory equipment, yet many experiments can be conducted, with simple, inexpensive, and readily available material. For the demonstration of atmospheric pressure, try the following experiments.

The Teaching Of Physiography, E. J. Cable

Science Bulletin

It is quite unfortunate that a subject as valuable as physiography finds such a small patronage among our high school pupils. This is probably due partly to the fact that there is still a lack of agreement among teachers as to the content or classification of the subject. In some high schools physiography is required of all freshmen. Often it goes under the title of "general science" or "modern geography."

Cockroaches For Laboratory Study, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

Teachers of high school biology are often handicapped by a lack of living material. This is particularly true in the teaching of insects. Most texts in biology use the grasshopper as a type of insect, largely, I suppose, because of its familiarity to the average pupil.

Winter Study Of Trees, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

One often hears the idea expressed that there is little to be done during the winter months in the way of field or laboratory studies of trees. In reality there is a wealth of material available and the following suggestions are offered in the hope that they will be helpful in calling attention to the possibilities of winter tree study.

Hydrostatics, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

The classroom apparatus necessary for an effective, interesting presentation of hydrostatics includes: pressure tubes, manometer tubes, pressure syringe, Pascal's vases and equilibrium tubes. All of these are listed in the apparatus catalogs found in every high school.
