This textbook aims to fill the need of an Introduction to Chemical Analysis, solely designed for use in the laboratory. This text presents simple rules for conducting chemical analyses to help students arrive at the most reliable results. This third edition has increased the examples for practice in quantitative and especially volumetric analysis.…

This textbook is designed to aid teachers who are using the "Fourteen Weeks Course." The problems contained in all the books are solved. The book contains answers in natural philosophy, chemistry, descriptive astronomy, experiments in chemistry, human physiology, physics, and astronomy.

Focuses on the curriculum movement. Discusses the educational conditions under which new courses would be developed. Explains the differences between the new science courses and traditional courses. First published in 1962. (YDS)

Traces the history of the observation of the production of electric sparks and the early history of battery design. Detail is provided about laboratory experiments performed by Robert Bunsen, who spent a great deal of time developing an efficient and comparatively cheap battery. (36 references) (DDR)

While the new movement in the teaching of physics--the study of the physics of daily life--is the keynote of the recent text-books, yet the laboratory manuals still adhere to the old method, leaving the presentation of material from everyday life to the text-book alone. It is the authors' belief that the manual as well as the text-book should be…

Discusses the history of American science and science education, with particular emphasis on the development of scientific inquiry and experimentation. Focuses primarily on the activities of individuals in the 1800's, and the introduction of science into secondary schools and higher education institutions in the early 1900's. (TW)

In preparing this volume, every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, the most recent authorities have been consulted, and it is believed that a faithful view is presented of the various sciences embraced, as far as they are at present developed. It is the intention of the author to keep his book up to the times by constant revision, and to…

Every child today is in contact with the results of scientific discovery and should have at least some understanding of the principles of modern science. The increasing complexities of the age in which we live make this imperative. For this reason, the study of science has become an essential part of the curriculum of every elementary rural and…

This bulletin presents a bibliography of science teaching. This bibliography contains the following categories: (1) Biology; (2) Chemistry; (3) Geography; (4) Mathematics; (5) Nature study; and (6) Physics. [Compiled by a Committee of the American Federation of Teachers of the Mathematical and the Natural Sciences. Best copy available has been…

In the elementary and secondary schools, there is a movement toward a sequential instructional program which would involve the offering of a laboratory science each year from kindergarten to high school graduation. In some schools teachers have turned to science kits as a partial solution to the problems presented by restricted space, inadequate…

The Bureau of Education developed this course of study, published as a bulletin, reflecting increased interest of the movement for out-door education and in response to a request to the Bureau from the General Federation of Women's Clubs. It will be of value in promoting a type of study much needed in schools, and it will offer to the primary and…
