Download or read book Nature Study One Hundred Lessons about Plants Classic Reprint written by David Worth Dennis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Study One Hundred Lessons About Plants Nature Study is new; Liebig was the first man who used a laboratory for instruction. He began his career as a teacher in 1824. Courses in mathematics and language have had centuries in which to perfect their methods of instruction and the lessons it is best to offer; for this reason, lessons in these subjects are good, if not the best, that can be offered, and the methods of giving them have had opportunity to eliminate errors. The teacher of nature study has almost no past to guide him. The older teach ers of nature study were not themselves taught in schools. As a department of instruction it is without traditions or precedents. Every serious teacher so far has had to pave his own road. All teachers have gone different roads. It could not be otherwise. The material with which nature study deals, is inexhaustible; no one can ever be acquainted with more than an insignificant frac tion of it. It is all good. It will always be the case that success ful teachers will give what they know. They will accordingly teach different things. It is probably true that every successful teacher has, from year to year, taken his pupils over different ground, and that everything done has proved to be good. What it is best to teach we cannot yet tell, in other words, than that that material is best which can be bad. This nature study work has passed through three phases. It was first taught from books. The only nature study work I ever did in school was in Geography and Physiology and every syllable of these came from books. We next added the laboratory. How new this phase of the subject is, may be learned from the presi dential address of Dr. Wiley before the Indiana Science Teachers' Association at Lafayette, in 1895. He says: Prior to 1863 no laboratory instruction was given in Indiana except a little in qualitative analysis.

Download or read book Nature Study Lessons Classic Reprint written by Mattie Rose Crawford and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature-Study Lessons All the world is newer and stranger to the young child than America was to Christopher Columbus when he first set foot upon it. The child acquires knowledge by what he is told and later by what he reads, but the first knowledge, and, indeed, most of the knowledge he receives in his earliest years, is, and must be, acquired by the use of his own powers. A truth discovered by the child's own effort or experience is as useful as if learned by hearsay; but in many cases the mental power and disposition developed through the efforts put forth by the child in search of a truth are more useful to him than the truth itself. Hence, usually the child who acquires useful knowledge by means of his self-activity is more than twice blessed as compared with the one who gets the same knowledge secondhand. Natures Method of Teaching. - Think how much a child learns by this natural method before he is old enough to go to school. In the school-room, the very place devoted to learning, should wise Natures favorite method of teaching be neglected or forgotten? This misfortune has happened when the child has formed the habit of depending almost entirely on the teacher or on the book to tell him what he does not know. He is not unlike a jug set before a fountain to be filled. He feels that his memory bears the chief responsibility for his education; he loses the disposition, if not the power, to find out things by his own efforts. Cramming not Education. - Observe an intelligent farmer feeding his stock. How differently he treats the animal which he wishes to fatten from the one he wishes to make strong. The former is kept quiet and is plentifully supplied with luscious grass or chopped food, but the latter is given exercise and training as well as a different kind of food.

Download or read book Nature Study Lessons Seasonally Arranged Classic Reprint written by J. B. Philip and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Study Lessons Seasonally Arranged Several considerations have determined the choice of matter in the following chapters. In the first place the objects described, whether whole plants or parts, are nearly all of good size, of clearly defined and typical structure, and, what is also of importance, easily obtainable. In the second place the material has a distinct relation to the seasons. The chapters follow the annual cycle of the months and, as each is independent of the others, a start may be made at any point and the circle completed from it onwards. The first chapter is of a general nature and may be regarded as introductory to, or as summarising, the rest of the book. It may be pointed out that the seasonal arrangement is not merely a matter of convenience. The cabbage is not merely set down for study in winter because it can be got then, or because little else is available, but chiefly because it is an expression in plant form of the cessation of active growth imposed by that season. In the same way the seedling bean suggests the return of vigorous life associated with spring: The fulness and colour of summer is seen in leafy plants (such as wallflower) with their showy flowers, while not less distinctly do the ripening fruits and showers of seed point to autumn as a time of results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature-Study Idea, an Interpretation of the New: School-Movement to Put the Young Into Relation and Sympathy With Nature A Contributors to a recent issue of a leading technical journal has endeavored to find a satisfactory answer to the question, "What is nature-study?" by appealing to "eminent scientific men." The answers of these men are printed there in full. Now, the nature-study movement is not a product of "eminent scientific men," nor directly of the current natural-science movement. It is a product of the common schools. Eminent scientific attainment, as such, is not to be expected to enable persons to give satisfactory answer to the question, for the subject is not within its realm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Simple Lessons in the Study of Nature: For the Use of Pupils In this new contribution to the rapidly increasing list of nature lessons, the author offers the novelty of a question book, with answers withheld until observation and experiment suggest them; thus a sort of inductive lesson-book with the object in the foreground and the teacher behind the scenes. If the topics are of sufficient interest to children, there is no need to doubt their willingness to puzzle out the conclusions which the lessons imply. When we recall the persevering curiosity with which they take their toys to pieces to see how they work, we may rely upon some ability to follow up Nature in her work.

Download or read book The Nature Study Course Classic Reprint written by Sidney Silcox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature Study Course The introduction of nature study as a subject Of the school course is an effort to meet, in part, these changed conditions. Through the school garden the activities of the child are brought into play. In the study of nature he is led to consider the materials and processes of social life. His powers of observation are stimulated, and his study of the lower forms of life has the effect of broadening his sympathies for life in general. In spite, however, of the fact that nature study now holds an established place in the school curriculum, there are still those among the public, and even among the teaching profession, who consider its introduction as a formal subject of study to have been unnecessary. In reply it may be said that in general the best teach ers in the past have taught nature study, even before its formal introduction. The fact is indisputable that literature, composition, geography, and drawing, can not be properly taught except by means of nature study. Whether formally prescribed or not, it must be taught; and it is, one may be certain, from the most inefficient teachers that the greatest objection is sure to come. So-called teachers, who follow only the bare letter of the curriculum, are sure to object to any innovation as a probable addition to their work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Study: A Pupil's Text-Book The seemingly natural plan of letting the child express his own thoughts in language either spoken or written marks a new era in the teaching of English. When we go a step farther and confine the language work to those subjects which must interest the child, we shall have ideal conditions. The correlation Of nature study with language lessons is almost inevitable. The child sees certain living creatures and is interested in their life and habits and almost involuntarily he tells what he sees; if the teacher is in sympathy with him, he likes quite as well to write about his observations as to tell about them. And since he is trying to express only what he knows and has experienced, his English is simple and straight forward; and, even when it is faulty, it may be corrected better by good example than by that ogre of school work in English.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Nature-Study for Teachers and Parents: Based on the Cornell Nature-Study Leaflets, With Much Additional Material and Many New Illustrations At the first meeting of this committee Mr. Powell made a strong plea for interesting the children of the country in farming as a remedial measure, and maintained that the first step toward agriculture was nature-study. It had been Mr. Powell's custom to give simple agricultural and nature study instruction to the school children of every town where he was con ducting a farmers' institute, and his opinion was, therefore, based upon experience. The committee desired to see for itself the value of this idea, and experimental work was suggested, using the schools of Westchester County as a laboratory. Mr. R. Fulton Cutting generously furnished the funds for this experiment, and work was done that year in the Westchester schools, which satisfied the committee Of the soundness of the project.
