Excerpt from Elementary Lessons in Physics: Mechanics (Including Hydrostatics) And Light
But the advocates of the lecture-table method of science teaching cannot claim for it the disciplinary advantage and the power of bringing the pupil into close quarters with physical facts and laws, that belong to a properly conducted course of laboratory work by the pupils them selves. Ii such a laboratory course is readily practicable.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to teaching physics through quantitative laboratory work in grammar schools. Before the author, it was thought that physics in grammar schools should consist only of lecture-table demonstrations. The author, on the other hand, argues that students can benefit from hands-on experiments involving exact measurement and weighing to enhance their understanding of physical facts and laws. The book covers concepts in mechanics, hydrostatics, and light. It also includes suggestions for lecture-room discussions and experiments to supplement the laboratory work. The book would be beneficial to grammar school teachers looking to introduce quantitative laboratory work into their physics curriculum. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
