Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Exercises in Elementary Physics Most of the experiments in this collection exact of the pupil measurements of some sort, that is, are quantitive. A few, included for the training in accurate work they afford or for their suggestiveness, demand the investigations of the conditions under which certain phenomena develop. They require, however, the use of some physical instrument. Those purely illustrative are given because they demand more careful observation than the pupil can give to a lecture experiment. In the course will be found, I think, illustrations of many of the more common methods of physical research. The exercises are planned for young pupils with no previous training in physics, employ no unduly expensive apparatus, and require no more than forty-five minutes each in the laboratory. The subjects selected are among those bearing on the commoner applications of physical science. Pains have been taken to so frame the instructions that the pupil can prepare himself beforehand to make the most of his laboratory time with the least help from his instructor. This I regard of prime importance. Unless the instructor assures himself before each exercise that the pupils understand what they are to do and how to do it, they will pretty surely exceed the time-limit, and may even make wreck of the whole exercise. Five unprepared pupils require more attention than fifteen who have thoroughly mastered the preliminary work.
