Suggestions For Health Classes, Belva L. Swalwell

Science Bulletin

The classes in high school conducted primarily for the purpose of imparting health knowledge which will lead to action are confronted with the problem of securing suitable material for supplementing the textbook work.

Winter Birds Of Iowa, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

The study of birds should certainly form an important unit of every course in high school biology. Furthermore, this study should be continued through the entire school year in order to secure the most desirable results. The fall is an excellent time to begin the study because the number of birds to be found is not so great as to ca use confusion and the students will be able to become familiar with the means of identification and the common recognition marks of many of our common birds.

Misleading Terms, Alison Aitchison, Marguerite Uttley

Science Bulletin

"Tradition is the enemy of progress." Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, advises young people to adopt this as their slogan if they wish to make for themselves successful pl aces in the business world. To train these embryo business men and women is the business of the public schools. Geography contributes to training for commerce more than any other science. Have geography teachers adopted the same slogan?

It Is Now Time To Commence To Keep Your Bird Records

Science Bulletin

It is now time to commence to keep your bird records in order to follow the spring migration of birds.

Science Reading

Science Bulletin

One of the purposes of science teaching in the high school should be to train the pupils to appreciate and to read intelligently and critically the articles of scientific interest that appear in the public press.

Newton's Laws Of Motion, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

In the study of Newton's Laws of Motion, it is more important to understand the concepts they embody than to be able to repeat them verbatim. Too frequently, in the teaching of high school physics, memory work is allowed to take the place of concrete information. This is particularly true with reference to these basic mechanical concepts of the physical universe known as Newton's Laws of Motion.

Health And Cleanliness, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

A short time ago there was presented in the columns of this paper an article dealing with the methods of motivating a health program. This article dealt with the methods of gaining an interest in the subject of health. Once having gained this interest a program of education must be brought forward. Such a program may not be elaborate, in fact probably should not be. It is the opinion of the writer that most programs of health attempt to cover too wide a field and do not leave sufficient definite impressions.

In addition to the simple experiments already suggested attention is called to others which will show the common constituents of the air.

In A Recent Study Concerning The Status Of Science, The Following Interesting Facts Are Noted

Household Insects, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

It was said above (see November Bulletin) that practically every animal is attacked by one or more kinds of insects. Man constitutes no exception to this statement, and it is my purpose in this article to deal with a few of the insects commonly found in or around our homes. Perhaps the most familiar of all household insects is the housefly.

Motion, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

Motion is a general property of matter. There is no rest in the absolute sense. An object at rest with reference to the earth 's surface is in rapid motion with reference to the earth's axis of rotation just as a person may be at rest in a Pullman car and at the same time be in rapid motion with reference to the ground. All divisions of matter, - masses, molecules, atoms, protons, and electrons are moving relatively all of the time.

Astronomy, E. J. Cable

Science Bulletin

In the field of general science, astronomy offers projects for practical as well as very useful knowledge. One of the greatest values is its appeal to the intellect. Astronomy attempts to unravel the secrets of nature, not only on our planet, but also in the vastness of space around us that is within reach of man's powerful instruments. It acquaints man with what is going on around him as well as with what is happening in regions far removed from everyday experiences and personal contacts. Astronomy tries to make man feel "comfortable" and at "home" in his universe.

The Air We Breathe, S. F. Hersey

Science Bulletin

In an examination of recent texts in general science one is impressed by the place given to a discussion and study of air in its various phases and applications. The expression "air minded" does not apply in this connection, but perhaps it holds true that a great amount of interest is always developed in pupils whenever we introduce the subject.

A Classified Bibliography Of References For General Agriculture, Winfield Scott

Science Bulletin

Most teachers are exceedingly busy with their regular duties in the school. This leaves but little time to look up references or for that matter to plan the work once the school year has begun. Their success is largely determined by the preparation which has been made before the school year opens. The following references have been prepared for these busy teachers who would like to enrich their courses in agriculture, but who do not have time to study or select references.

Exhibits As An Aid In Teaching, O. B. Read

Science Bulletin

Complaint is often made that science subjects are difficult to teach. Many feel they are so abstract that there is nothing tangible with which to start. Since most of our industrial products are now very closely controlled by physical principles and chemical processes, it ought not to be difficult in the study of these subjects to arouse interest by calling attention to their uses in the industrial process.

Living Material In The Laboratory, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

Living plants and animals serve as valuable aids in stimulating interest in the biology course and, during that part of the year when field trips are impossible, provide material for the study of habits and the relation of organisms to their environment. Laboratory conditions are of course artificial but they should be made as nearly natural as it is possible to make them.

Teaching The History Of Science

Science Bulletin

Science has contributed more to our comfort, well being, and happiness than any other branch of knowledge. The other branches of knowledge are now taking the scientific method for the solving of their problems. Is it not important that science teachers should find some place in their teaching to teach some of the history of the development of science?
