Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments With Plants My plan for a series of popular botanical texts contemplated three books, "Lessons with Plants," primarily for the teacher; "Botany," for the school; and "Experiments with Plants," to suggest and explain simple ways by which the pupil could be set at the working out of real problems in the growth and behavior of plants. The first two books have appeared. When I was working on the third, I chanced to visit the laboratory of Mr. Osterhout at the University of California, at a time when he was instructing a class of teachers. I saw at once that he was better fitted than I to write the book; and, finding that he was contemplating a similar text, I gave up my enterprise and offered him the title of the proposed volume. It was at first intended that I collaborate in the preparation of the book, but insistent duties have interposed, and I have given it no personal attention; moreover, I did not feel that I could add to its usefulness; and again, a book made by two persons working so far apart, and one of them not now actively engaged in teaching, would be likely to lack homogeneity. The introduction of laboratory work has been the great contribution of natural science to pedagogy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Pocket Book of Backyard Experiments written by Helen Pilcher and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handy, charmingly designed book filled with more than eighty experiments for the whole family--discover, learn, and enjoy a better understanding of basic garden science. From testing garden soil to making a homemade battery out of a potato, this book reveals the hidden science at work in the garden and around the house. The book is divided into four sections, each focusing on one area: biology, soil science, botany, and "kitchen sink" chemistry. Each experiment is straightforward and easy, involving no more than common household items. Learn how to germinate seeds with little more than envelopes and used egg cartons or amaze friends with the art of optical illusion. While learning how to create a homemade ant farm or making a pressed herbarium specimen, kids get grounded in the basic principles of science. The experiments have been designed as participatory learning activities that bring kids and family members together with the aim of developing young people's learning skills, interest in science, and the world around them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Experimental Botany There is something in an experiment which appeals to the mind of the young. The innate desire to find out what is in a toy, how it works, and why various things happen, is largely responsible for this. Chemistry and physics owe their great popularity to the fact that they have been taught by experiment. Zoology and botany have always been less popular because they have often been taught without experimentation. In the days when morphology was the summum bonum of botanical study, there could be small room for experiment But in these later years, when the science has been taught more along physiological lines, the use of experiment has come into more general vogue. It is the purpose of this little book to teach botany by experiment. Plants yield themselves very readily to experiment. Being alive, they respond to all external influences most admirably, and there is no reason why such work with plants should not prove as interesting and as useful as similar exercises with levers, lenses, vibrating pendulums, and cords. It is hoped that something may be found in this book which will remedy the inadequacy which exists in the laboratory instruction of many schools. The work is not entirely physiological in character, but it has been thought wise to present the morphological part also in the form of experiments.

Download or read book Laboratory Practice for Beginners in Botany Classic Reprint written by William A. Setchell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Practice for Beginners in Botany In order to make the study of botany more effective under the first head, it seems best to bring the student into imme diate contact with the object itself, in the laboratory; and not only that, but to avoid interposing apparatus, as far as possible, between the student and the object to be studied. For this purpose, the writer has practically confined his attention to the larger plants. Desiring also to cultivate, as far as possible, the ability to draw correct inferences from exact observations, the writer has deemed it best to consider the subject from a somewhat different point of view from that usually adopted, and has attempted to make the morphological study bear fruit in this direction. The great difficulty in most laboratory work is to make the students realize the significance of the morphological details. They may observe accurately and record their observations carefully, but what of that? The physiological significance is overlooked - even in many cases where experiments are used to illustrate physiological phenomena. That the plant is a living thing, is a fact that must be borne actively in mind, both by teacher and by student. The plant must obtain the materials for its support, and to do this it must compete with other plants; it must protect itself against or seek the aid of animals it must obtain the energy and materials to reproduce its kind, and endeavor to place its offspring where they may have a proper chance for development; and, destitute of a mind as it is, it exercises an ingenuity, so to speak, that is of no mean order. We must, then, think of the plant as a living, working, struggling being with a single object in life, viz. To reproduce its kind and every variation in structure, be it great or little, is to be examined to determine, if possible, its use or history.
