Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of General Science: Laboratory Problems The development of courses in general science, and their extensive adoption in high schools, has been the most important change in science teaching during the past two decades. In teaching this subject high-school teachers have found it more difficult to secure adequate help in their laboratory, demonstration, and field work than has been true in connection with the text material. While the outline for experimental work requires recognition of the variations in methods and materials used in different schools, it must also be sufficiently specific and comprehensive to serve adequately as a guide to the pupils. This manual has been prepared in order to meet these needs. It uses most of the topics which appear in Caldwell and Eikenberry's "A Laboratory Manual for General Science," but has organized these topics differently and has added to them. The following are special features of this manual: A preliminary paragraph with each problem, giving briefly the setting of the problem so that the pupil begins his work with a measure of appreciation of its significance. Diagrams, sketches, or halftones, as parts of most of the problems, are designed to give suggestions as to setting up apparatus, thus helping to make certain that the experiment is properly performed and at the same time stimulating pupils to invent ways of their own for doing things. In case of most of the illustrations no legends are given, since the directions provide all needed suggestions for proper use of the figures. In a few cases legends are added, but usually the pupil will profit most by use of an illustration as a means of experimentation if a detailed explanation of its significance is omitted. Clear statements are made of methods of procedure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
