Science In Seventh And Eighth Grades, Mabel Gauger May 1931

Science In Seventh And Eighth Grades, Mabel Gauger

Science Bulletin

Much value is obtained from clippings and pictures brought by the pupils and explained by them to the other members of the class. The article is discussed and then put on the bulletin board for two weeks where all may read it. Five or ten minutes of each class period are given over to "News", whether it be of the type above mentioned, or some personal experience, discovery or question along the line of the unit being studied.

The Beehive As An Aid In Biology, Winfield Scott May 1931

The Beehive As An Aid In Biology, Winfield Scott

Science Bulletin

The honey bee never fails to generate interest. She calls forth the instinct of curiosity in the daring and fear in the timid. She challenges the courageous only to teach him caution. She challenges the timid and develops confidence. To those who like to study instinct in relation to environment, she presents countless problems.

The Magnetic Effect Of An Electric Current, L. Begeman May 1931

The Magnetic Effect Of An Electric Current, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

From a practical point of view, the magnetic property of an electric current is of great value to man. It is this property that is utilized in the dynamo for the generation of large currents of electricity. It is also this property that enables man to utilize the driving power of the electric motor in the manufacturing industries.

Stimulants, H. Earl Rath May 1931

Stimulants, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

The state law requires the teaching of the effects of narcotics and stimulants. Most teachers would be glad to comply with the law if they were certain that they could present reliable information. The difficulty in the past has been that most of this information available was merely propaganda and not based on scientific fact. The tobacco companies have always been able to secure statements from people of prominence who were tobacco users to the effect that tobacco not only did them no harm but actually proved of value. Their statements were not based on scientific evidence, and many of …

The Project In High School Science, Don D. Pettit Apr 1931

The Project In High School Science, Don D. Pettit

Science Bulletin

The use of the project in teaching the high school sciences is one of the major means of holding the interest of those who are taking the course chiefly because of requirements for graduation or college entrance. No doubt it would be an excellent means of presenting an entire year's work but would require a good deal of the teacher's time to develop such a course of study. This obstacle might well be overcome by gradually introducing the project year by year until the complete field was covered.

The State High School Course In General Science, C. W. Lantz Apr 1931

The State High School Course In General Science, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The course of study in general science for high schools issued by the State Department of Public Instruction has recently come from the press. The course is divided into fifteen units. Of these, eight are devoted primarily to physical and chemical facts; five are of a biological nature; and two deal with facts of astronomy and meteorology. The authors, however, have succeeded well in constructing a course in general science and have not merely put together unrelated parts of physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy.

Cell Secrets, R. W. Getchell Apr 1931

Cell Secrets, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

This is a true picture of one class of cell products, the enzymes; and it represents with considerable accuracy two other products of the cell, the vitamines and the hormones. These three wonderful agencies challenge our interest and provoke a tremendous amount of research at present because they are so far-reaching in their effects and because they hugely baffle any attempt to isolate or identify them.

Science Bulletin

Are you one of the great throng that believe in superstition? Do you look with gloom and dismay upon future weather if, on ground-hog clay, this harmless animal should be so unfortunate as to see his noon day shadow and then hie himself to mother earth for another six weeks I period? Do you think it makes any difference if you plant y our garden seeds in the light of the moon or lay shingles in the dark of the moon!

Effects Of An Electric Current, L. Begeman Apr 1931

Effects Of An Electric Current, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

In two preceding articles, the writer has discussed the nature of an electric current and the three practical ways of producing it. The question now naturally follows: What are the uses of an electric current? Speaking generally, we use an electric current for lighting, for heating, for chemical work, for mechanical work, and for therapeutic or physiological treatments of various human ailments.

Practical Methods Of Producing A Current Of Electricity, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

Currents of electricity as utilized by the electrical engineer fall naturally into three classes, viz.: those produced by chemical action in batteries; those produced by magnetic induction in dynamos; and those produced by the direct action of heat in thermo-cells.

As a boy, I played with a big shepherd dog that had a passionate fondness for toads. He cornered one nearly every day, some place or another, always apprizing me of the fact by loud barking and frantic gesticulations as if he had really found some game worthwhile this time.
