Description:Excerpt from Education Through Nature Study: Foundations and Methods This work is the result of a course of lectures delivered by the author on Methods of Science-teaching. It owes its form and content, first, to impressions concerning the scope and character of current nature-study literature; and second, to impressions regarding the general scientific preparation of teachers who have been under his instruction and supervision in institute, normal school, and normal training-school work. Current nature-study literature, dealing chiefly with the facts of nature study, fails to aid the teacher in two important difficulties where help seems to be most needed, namely: (1) many teachers fail to grasp the real significance and importance of the subject; (2) they do not know how to handle the subject, - how to begin, how to continue, and how to end the study of an object. This book is an attempt to remove those difficulties. The facts of natural science are so numerous that they cannot be condensed into a small volume. Besides, even a complete catalogue of all the facts of nature cannot be substituted for a proper study of nature itself. Nature study in book form is a contradiction in terms. The "book of nature" has its own message to give to the inquiring mind; and this message can be communicated only by nature itself.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
