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.

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.

Laboratory Upkeep, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

The article last month dealt with reagent bottles. Another problem is met in the proper care of iron ware - the special target of the corrosive laboratory fumes. To supply the pupil with rusty, oxide encrusted metal equipment is to encourage careless, slovenly work. An annual "paint day" is essential.

Editorial

Science Bulletin

We enjoyed a visit the other day with the representative of a company which supplies files for government publications. This reminds us of how essential to good teaching is supplementary material. It both instructs and offers variety. Too often, in the mind of the pupil, the words schoolroom and monotony are synonyms.

An Experiment In Hydrostatics, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

Individual laboratory work in hydrostatics is not very essential if the teacher is properly equipped for classroom demonstration. However, it would be interesting and profitable in communities where gas is sup- plied to the laboratory, to have the student measure the gas pressure by means of a water column.

Atmospheric Pressure, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

Having learned the meaning of "pressure" from the study of hydrostatics, the pupil is easily led to understand the striking phenomena of atmospheric pressure. He should readily appreciate that the term refers to the gravity pressure of the atmosphere.
