SuitabookBoys' book of science and construction
Alfred Powell Morgan
- Reading
- Browse the topic headings together, then choose one project to read through before gathering anything. Talk about what the experiment is intended to show and whether the instructions and tools suit your circumstances.
- Themes
- Learning through experiment: The book links explanations of scientific phenomena with instructions for making apparatus and conducting experiments. Its described approach is informational and practical, presenting construction as a way to investigate scientific principles.
- Worth knowing
- Projects involve building apparatus and using simple hand tools. The specific tools, materials, supervision needs and practical precautions for individual experiments are not clear, so check a project before beginning it together.
