Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Year Course in General Science It is not necessary, in this period of the making of high school curricula, to show that, for the first year of a high school, a general course in science is better than a year's study of one branch of science. Without discussion of the advisability of a general course, therefore, the author would state her reasons for the wide choice of subjects considered in this book. For pupils who complete a high school course, the study of general science should be an introduction to any ordinary high school work in biology, physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy. No pupil can study all of these subjects, but he can learn that they are not separate sciences but branches of science. Whatever branch he studies later, he will find that the course in general science has given him the elements of the other divisions which dovetail into that branch. To suit the needs of pupils who are not able to finish a high school course, this first year science course must present a comprehensive view, though with no attempt to be complete. "The proper study of mankind" for the pupil at the age of twelve to fourteen years seems to be the world of which he is a part. The fact that the earth, important as it is to man, is not the only nor the greatest body in the universe; that it is not an independent body sufficient unto itself; and that its influence extends to other bodies - these are some of the subjects taken up in the first chapters.

Considerable new mate rial on nutrition and proper care of the human body is added. Particular attention has been given to relations which the studies bear to household problems as well as to those of the community and of the industries. At the beginning of each chapter a list of Questions for Discussion is given. It is expected that when beginning the work of each chapter the pupils and teacher will read and discuss the questions brieﬂy. These questions recall pupils' previous experiences and set up new problems whose brief consideration gives significant purpose to the text and experimental work which follows. After the chapter has been studied, the questions provide the best means of review. About fifty additional illustrations are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to General Science: With Experiments However much we may theorize, and try to impress the youth with the proper conception of man's place in nature, the individual young person will continue to consider himself as the center of the universe. Immediate needs and close surroundings are what interest him. It is not until he has learned about these, and has followed back to their sources and causes some of the phenomena which have seemed simple and matter of fact, that he begins to realize that the distant forces have more effect upon his existence than the near-by, everyday happenings. Perhaps it is well, then, at the beginning of science study, to take his point of view, and lead him to follow each apparently simple need or desire, and to arouse in him the habit of seeking for a cause, and looking beyond the present and immediate to the future and the ultimate. It may be truly said that in a General Science course, "All roads lead to Rome," for the course may be commenced anywhere, and it will lead to a study of all science. In fact, if the pun may be forgiven, in a General Science course, "All roads lead to roam," and the pupil, after he is started, needs but to be guided. That is the purpose of this book. It is not easy to teach a course in general science successfully. There is always the temptation to specialize in some particular part, usually the part which the teacher likes best, and about which he knows most. If this temptation is not resisted, the course ceases to be general. The value of a General Science course is twofold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Year in Science: A Text-Book for First Year in High Schools The history of the many attempts to fit the different special sciences into the first year of the high school is too well known to require comment. As a result of these experiences, the conviction is becoming general that no one science is adequate for an introductory course. In the last few years the effort to present to the pupil subject matter of interest to him, adapted to his stage of mental development, and at the same time of educative value, has resulted in the development of many courses in general science. These courses vary somewhat in the organiza tion of subject matter and in the method of presentation, but all of them are based upon the conviction that the first year of science should be fundamental to all the sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Science First Course This book is intended to offer a scientific explanation for the many and varied experiences which pupils of high school age have had and to create a desire for further knowledge of scientific subjects. There is a growing desire among science teachers to have a general introductory course in which the fundamental principles of science and of scientific study are presented in such a way that pupils will acquire the desire for a systematic study of the special branches of science. There are also many high schools in which only a year or so can be devoted to the subject of science. In these a general course giving an explanation of the pupils experiences with suggestions of how to acquire further information will be most valuable. In many city high schools a number of courses are offered in which no science subject is required. Many of the larger cities are now adding a half-year of general science to these courses in which special science subjects are not required, thus giving such pupils as in the commercial courses an understanding of every-day phenomena and some idea of the laws of health. This book is intended to meet these various needs. After having taught various phases of science, including General Science, for several years and having experimented on the order of arrangement of the subject-matter and the method of presentation, the author has concluded that the arrangement of the material as presented in this book is most effective in securing the following results: First. A desire to grow strong in body and mind and to remain free from disease and to avoid the use of stimulants and narcotics is created.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Science The question of what science shall be taught in the first year of the regular high school, or in the eighth or ninth years of the Junior High School, is becoming one of steadily increasing importance. The logical course for this period of the child's school life seems to be a general course in those elements of science which will form a foundation for the sciences which usually come later in the high school courses of study, and which will give the best training to those who may withdraw from school at the end of the ninth year. For a number of years physical geography was the science commonly taught in the ninth year. Teachers of this subject found that in order to do their best work, it was necessary to give a considerable portion of their time to teaching the elements of related sciences such as physics, chemistry, and botany. The same thing was true of the teachers of the biological sciences. This fact furnishes an excellent argument for the substitution of a course in general science for the sciences which were formerly taught in the first year of our high schools. First year science is intended for immature minds. It must be presented and illustrated in such a way that the pupil will not be confused with terms which are too technical nor with treatments of topics which are too advanced for him.

There are twenty chapters. As the Table of Contents shows, about half of these consist of elementary Physics and Chemistry. The chapters on Physics contain no formulas and only a few simple calculations; there are no symbols or equations in the chapters on Chemistry. The author's plan is to give only the primary notions of matter, force, and chem ical action. These are needed for all subsequent work in pure or applied science, as well as for that general knowledge of common things which every person ought to carry away from a High School course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of General Science Never before in this country has there been so insistent a demand for a more thorough and more comprehensive system of instruction in practical science. Forced by recent events to compare our education with that of other nations, we have suddenly become aware of our negligence in this matter. Now industrial and educational experts and commissions are united in demanding a change. While on the whole there has been a steady increase in the amount of time given to science work in the secondary and elementary schools, the attention paid to it, especially in the elementary schools, has been somewhat spasmodic, and its administration has been more or less chaotic. This is not due to lack of interest on the part of school officials but to their dissatisfaction with the methods of instruction employed. There is no doubt that superintendents would gladly introduce more science if they felt sure that the educational results would be commensurate with the time expended. This is indicated by a recent survey of about one hundred and fifty cities in seven states of the Central West. The survey shows that two-thirds of them have nature-study in the elementary schools and that all are requiring some science for graduation from the high school. The average high school is offering three years of science. Since 1900 there has been a greater increase in the percentage of students enrolled in science in the high schools than in any other subject with the one exception of English. Moreover, greater attention is now being paid to the training of teachers in methods of presentation of science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Laboratory Course in Chemistry The course of practical chemistry outlined in this book is intended for students who are beginning the subject and at the same time taking a course of lectures on general chemistry. It was arranged primarily for the first year Arts course Of the University of Toronto, in which all science students - whether they are taking chemistry for two years only or whether they intend to Specialise in this subject - are required to do exactly the same work in their first year. It has been necessary therefore to keep in view the twofold object of giving the former class of students, in a very limited period, as fair an idea as possible of the general nature of chemistry, and at the same time, of providing the latter class with a good working basis for their subsequent course. Owing to the short time spent in the laboratory (two afternoons a week) many important principles have been necessarily omitted. The principles especially emphasised, however, are those which, on account Of their inherent difficulty or Of some traditional error in previous in struction, generally appear to give most trouble to the student.
