But it was very dull. He hardly saw a single person. He had much rather have gone by the turnpike road. Presently in comes Master William, the other pupil, dressed, I suppose, as wretched boys used to be dressed forty years ago, in a frill collar and skeleton monkey-jacket, and tight trousers buttoned over it and hardly coming down to his ankles, and low shoes which always came off in sticky ground and terribly dirty and wet he is but he never, he says, had such a pleasant walk in his life, and he has brought home his handkerchief (for boys had no pockets in those days much bigger than keyholes) full of curiosities.

Specifically designed for young readers, Boys, Girls & Body Science walks children through the wonders of their bodies in a direct, easy-to-read manner. The story begins with Nicholas, 7, and Jenny, 5, learning about different types of science in their class - from ecology to the digestive system. Then Meg Hickling, a guest speaker, comes to talk to them about a new type of science. Hickling talks about the "science names" for the children's body parts, about good and bad touches and about making babies. She coaches the children not to be embarrassed or shy about body science: "We are going to make this just like a science lesson, we will learn to think like a scientist and we will learn the scientific names for our private parts," she says. Hickling is a Registered Nurse who has been teaching sexual education for over 25 years. She is an outstanding educator, and her ability to convey difficult material with sensitivity, gentle humour and warmth distinguishes her as a remarkable teacher and role model. In this latest publication, Hickling brings her award-winning lesson into the homes, schools and libraries of inquisitive children everywhere!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book in General Science Education for the present life of the child should be the chief purpose of our schools. This book seeks to carry out this principle so far as science is concerned. We are living in the midst of a great scientific age. Applications of science more and more dominate our life, and they will continue to do so in ever-increasing degree. Any sane system of education must see to it that boys and girls living in the midst of these applications, which form such an important part of their everyday life, are educated in terms of this environment, in order that they may better appreciate it and adapt themselves to it. This book is an attempt to make clear to boys and girls answers to some of the ques /tions naturally arising in their minds concerning the com mon applications of science.

Download or read book Science in Print written by Rima D. Apple and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the threads of seventeenth-century natural philosophy began to coalesce into an understanding of the natural world, printed artifacts such as laboratory notebooks, research journals, college textbooks, and popular paperbacks have been instrumental to the development of what we think of today as “science.” But just as the history of science involves more than recording discoveries, so too does the study of print culture extend beyond the mere cataloguing of books. In both disciplines, researchers attempt to comprehend how social structures of power, reputation, and meaning permeate both the written record and the intellectual scaffolding through which scientific debate takes place. Science in Print brings together scholars from the fields of print culture, environmental history, science and technology studies, medical history, and library and information studies. This ambitious volume paints a rich picture of those tools and techniques of printing, publishing, and reading that shaped the ideas and practices that grew into modern science, from the days of the Royal Society of London in the late 1600s to the beginning of the modern U.S. environmental movement in the early 1960s.

Download or read book The Boy s Playbook of Science written by John Henry Pepper and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy's Playbook of Science: Including the Various Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus Required, for the Successful Performance of Scientific Experiments, in Illustration For a long time past there has been a continuous call for further copies of The "Boys Playbook of Science," but as the previous editions were hopelessly out of date, the publishers, Messrs. George Routledge and Sons, Ld., entrusted me with the work of revision and re-illustration, in order that the increasing demand for the volume might be supplied by an entirely new edition which should be thoroughly up to date in its matter and illustration. Since the preceding editions were placed before the public, extraordinary advances have been made in all branches of science, especially in those of chemistry, electricity, the application of steam and of water, etc., whilst the interim has also seen the discovery of many new elements, the breaking up of hitherto-considered elements into compounds, the inauguration of new sciences, such as wireless telegraphy and telephony, and new branches of physics, as radio-activity, the "X" rays, "N" rays, etc., as well as great alterations in nomenclature; also several of the then accepted laws which governed certain chemical and physical changes - in the light of modern science, with fuller knowledge and more perfect instruments - have undergone complete revolution. So that in order to bring the work into conformity with modern views of science, it has been necessary to reconstruct, re-illustrate, and re-write the greater part of the book and to add a considerable portion of new matter, which not only extends the volume, but will, it is to be hoped, add to its general interest. Whilst dealing with almost all important branches and departments of science, I have had before me the desire that it should be a "boy's" book, and have therefore followed on the lines of its predecessors. Though some of the experiments cannot well be performed outside a laboratory, the majority are within the compass of execution in an ordinary house-kitchen, with the assistance of the glass and crockery generally found there.

Download or read book The Science Education of American Girls written by Kim Tolley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science Education of American Girls provides a comparative analysis of the science education of adolescent boys and girls, and analyzes the evolution of girls' scientific interests from the antebellum era through the twentieth century. Kim Tolley expands the understanding of the structural and cultural obstacles that emerged to transform what, in the early nineteenth century, was regarded as a "girl's subject." As the form and content of pre-college science education developed, Tolley argues, direct competition between the sexes increased. Subsequently, the cultural construction of science as a male subject limited access and opportunity for girls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science of Common Life The value of an introduction to the scientific method in the School training of both sexes is now fully recognised. There is still some difference of opinion, however, as to how girls can best be taught to appreciate the value of experiment and deduction in the endeavour to understand the forces of Nature. Fortunately, we believe, the idea gains ground that there are no more suitable means than the ordinary operations and practices of the household to illustrate physical and chemical laws. Adopting the general trend of the recent syllabus of the Board of Education, though in no sense slavishly following its details, we have attempted to make students familiar with those broad principles of science without which the intelligent guidance of the domestic economy is impossible.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE Of the increasing success and widening popularity of the elementary science series written chiefly in the seclusion of Serignan by the gifted French naturalist who was destined to give that obscure hamlet a distinction hardly inferior to the renown enjoyed by Maillane since the days of Mistral, it is unnecessary at this late date to say more than a word in passing. The extraordinary vividness and animation of his style amply justified his early belief in the possibility of making the truths of science more fascinating to young readers, and to all readers, than the fabrications of fiction. As Dr. Legros has said in his biography1 of Fabre, "He was indeed convinced that even in early childhood it was possible for both boys and girls to learn and to love many subjects which had hitherto never been proposed; and in particular that Natural History which to him was a book in which all the world might read, but that university methods had reduced to a tedious and useless study in which the letter 'killed the life.'" The young in heart and the pure in heart of whatever age will find themselves drawn to this incomparable story-teller, this reverent revealer of the awe-inspiring secrets of nature, this "Homer of the insects." The identity of the "Uncle Paul," who in "Fabre, Poet of Science." By Dr. C. V. Legros. New York: The Century Co. this book and others of the series plays the storyteller's part, is not hard to guess; and the young people who gather about him to listen to his true stories from wood and field, from brook and hilltop, from distant ocean and adjacent millpond, are, without doubt, the author's own children, in whose companionship he delighted and whose education he conducted with wise solicitu
