Synopsis

Build practical science skills with a lab-based first-year course that ties every experiment to what you read.

This general science program pairs a clear textbook with hands-on laboratory work, designed to help students fix core principles while applying them to real-world situations. The approach emphasizes doing and observing, so pupils learn to draw reasonable conclusions from their data. The book also shows how science is connected to everyday life and national work. It includes guidance for teachers, a laboratory manual, and ideas for field work and industry visits. Government bulletins and real-world examples are used to deepen understanding and bring science to life in the classroom.

• A laboratory course closely linked to the textbook to reinforce learning
• Strategies for guiding students through observation, recording results, and drawing conclusions
• Suggestions for teachers, experiments, and field-based activities
• Real-world context, including government resources and industry applications

Ideal for readers starting science education in a classroom setting and for educators building a hands-on curriculum.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
