Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the seemingly mundane Northern farm of early America and the people who sought to improve its productivity and efficiency, Emily Pawley finds a world rich with innovative practices and marked by a developing interrelationship between scientific knowledge, industrial methods, and capitalism. Agricultural "improvers" became increasingly scientistic, driving tremendous increases in the range and volume of agricultural output-and transforming American conceptions of expertise, success, and exploitation. Pawley's focus on soil, fertilizer, apples, mulberries, agricultural fairs, and experimental stations shows each nominally dull subject to have been an area of intellectual ferment and sharp contestation: mercantile, epistemological, and otherwise"--

Download or read book Teaching Children Science written by Sally Gregory Kohlstedt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century, a curriculum known as nature study flourished in major city school systems, streetcar suburbs, small towns, and even rural one-room schools. This object-based approach to learning about the natural world marked the first systematic attempt to introduce science into elementary education, and it came at a time when institutions such as zoos, botanical gardens, natural history museums, and national parks were promoting the idea that direct knowledge of nature would benefit an increasingly urban and industrial nation. The definitive history of this once pervasive nature study movement, TeachingChildren Science emphasizes the scientific, pedagogical, and social incentives that encouraged primarily women teachers to explore nature in and beyond their classrooms. Sally Gregory Kohlstedt brings to vivid life the instructors and reformers who advanced nature study through on-campus schools, summer programs, textbooks, and public speaking. Within a generation, this highly successful hands-on approach migrated beyond public schools into summer camps, afterschool activities, and the scouting movement. Although the rich diversity of nature study classes eventually lost ground to increasingly standardized curricula, Kohlstedt locates its legacy in the living plants and animals in classrooms and environmental field trips that remain central parts of science education today.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 974 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Nature Study and Agriculture Classic Reprint written by Charles C. Schmidt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature Study and Agriculture The chapters are not all designed for use in the same grade. While most of the book is suited to young and old alike, such subjects as plant diseases, soils, and farm management are of interest only to the maturer pupils, and they are therefore treated somewhat more technically. It has long been the belief of the author that the beginning in the study of Agriculture should be made in Nature Study, in which is trained the power to see things in our physical environment as they actually are and to draw proper conclusions from them, and in which the learner acquires a good store of first-hand knowledge of plants and animals and other natural phenomena. In this book we make no attempt to draw an arbitrary dividing line between Nature Study and Agriculture. We shun the sentimental and essentially urban type of Nature Study that we have so often seen, and View Nature from the practical stand point oi those who live in actual contact with it. The aim has been to treat chiefly the topics whose study may yield knowledge of economic value. These may all be considered as belonging to a course in Agri culture. On the other hand, of the more technical subjects generally included in the comprehensive texts on general Agriculture designed for use in high schools, we present only those more essential ones usually prescribed in the modern courses of study for our common schools.

Download or read book The Nature Study Idea written by Liberty Hyde Bailey and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Nature-Study Idea, Liberty Hyde Bailey articulated the essence of a social movement, led by ordinary public-school teachers, that lifted education out of the classroom and placed it into firsthand contact with the natural world. The aim was simple but revolutionary: sympathy with nature to increase the joy of living and foster stewardship of the earth. With this definitive edition, John Linstrom reintroduces The Nature-Study Idea as an environmental classic for our time. It provides historical context through a wealth of related writings, and introductory essays relate Bailey's vision to current work in education and the intersection of climate change and culture. In this period of planetary turmoil, Bailey's ambition to cultivate wonder (in adults as well as children) and lead readers back into the natural world is more important than ever.
