Book Description
Excerpt from Nature Study for the Common Schools In the preparation of this book it has been the aim to furnish a guide for teachers in the common schools who wish their pupils to pursue an adequate and symmetrical course in Natural Science. Science teaching for a few years past has been gradually working itself downward from the colleges and high schools into those of lower grades, but, in most cases, the plans followed, while fairly well adapted to the demands of advanced pupils, have been but poorly fitted to the needs of beginners. The plan here adopted is based upon what is believed to be the proper interpretation of the character of the knowledge that the child can acquire. This knowledge may be characterized as having great breadth but little depth. The forces of nature impinge upon the child from every side, and he responds at once to their touch. Animal, plant, mineral, river, cloud, sunbeam, mountain, physical and chemical changes are all matters of equal and absorbing interest to him, and if left to himself he will inquire as freely about one as another. It is a mistaken idea that the child's interest is best aroused by a "thorough" study of a few living things, animal or plant, such as form the chief stock in trade in many school-rooms.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Nature-Study Review, 1908, Vol. 4: Devoted to All Phases of Nature-Study in Schools It is extremely doubtful 'whether nature-study in narrow connotation of the past and of far too many schools at present is of any value at all commensurate with the time given to it in the schedule. On the other hand it is Obvious that work which closely relates the daily life and the school life, which uses the objects and phenomena of the environment as educational material has a value so high that it can scarcely be over estimated. These values can be secured only through the orderly and logically progressive training of the senses - the external organs of relation; by at least keeping functional these powers upon the strength, rapidity and precision of which so much of self-reliance and initiative ultimately depend.

Book Description
Excerpt from Nature-Study: A Manual for Teachers and Students This book is designed as an aid and guide to the practical teacher, and as a text-book in methods of nature-study for normal and training schools. Part I is devoted to a discussion of underlying principles and methods. A just appreciation of the purpose of nature-study and a good technique in teaching are as essential as a knowledge of subject-matter, especially in a subject like this, which must be taught without text-books. Part II contains appropriate subject-matter of a biological nature, and practical hints and suggestions on the collection and care of material, and the presentation of lessons. I have, however, avoided working out complete lesson-plans for the teacher, believing it far better to allow her to adapt the subject-matter herself to her own conditions, and to give an opportunity for originality. Emphasis is placed on the teaching of life-histories, life-habits, functions and processes, and not on mere structure study. Of chief importance also in nature-study are the adaptations to function and environment, the interrelations of plants and animals, their economic aspects, and practical bearing on human life. Part III consists of a course of nature-study for the eight grades. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
