Preceding even the Hartree-Fock method, molecular integrals are the very foundation upon which quantum chemical molecular modeling depends. Discussions of molecular integrals are normally found only in advanced and technical texts or articles. The objective of the present article is to provide less experienced readers, or students in a…

This textbook integrates chemistry and art with hands-on activities and fascinating demonstrations that enable students to see and understand how the science of chemistry is involved in the creation of art. It investigates such topics as color integrated with electromagnetic radiation, atoms, and ions; paints integrated with classes of matter,…

This textbook covers astronomy and its connection with geography. Written by the Mathematical Instrument to King George III.

The sole purpose of this volume is to provide an elementary course of chemistry suited to the wants of students and teachers in high schools and academies. The course seeks to present the most valuable topics for a student whose study ends when he leaves the preparatory school, while at the same time providing appropriate preparation for higher…

This textbook is a version of "First Course in General Science" simplified for younger pupils. There are fewer quantitative conceptions, many mathematical problems have been eliminated, and, where it has been possible without sacrificing clearness, much detail has been omitted. It discusses, in terms that the youthful mind can…

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 packet contains a series of teaching guides on land and people. This series features lessons on Cape Cod, the Everglades, and Los Angeles. Each section is divided into two parts: "For the Student" and "For the Teacher." The student materials give students a focus question to answer and also provide them with information…

Presents class activities to help elementary students learn about changes in the state of matter by making ice cream. In addition to making observations on the changes of state, students can practice measuring and identifying the properties (e.g., color, size, and shape). (SM)

Presents elementary school science activities with a Halloween orientation. One activity teaches students to appreciate and understand bats. A second activity has students group and classify monsters by individual characteristics. Activities for integrating science across the curriculum include creating monster myths, conducting surveys of…

The "Science Related to Life" textbooks are written to supply the need of elementary science teachers with textbooks that can be used independently by pupils. Throughout the series the author has kept in mind the aims of elementary science, as recognized by modern courses of study, namely to develop in pupils an interest in the natural…

Provides a list of 33 problem-solving steps extracted from physics textbooks and arranged within the following 3 categories: setup, solution, and checks. (MDH)

Presents ideas to help elementary school educators teach their students about magnetic force fields by observing how iron filings line up around magnets. The article lists materials needed and offers a student page with suggested student activities. (SM)

A method designed to facilitate prediction of mechanism and products by developing critical thinking skills and reducing memorization is presented. The mechanistic disc method requiring students to utilize their understanding of charge stabilization, structural organic chemistry, and the fundamental mechanisms of aliphatic substitution and…
