IN NATURE-STUDY TELLING IS NOT TEACHING. 



Do not tire the child imth questions; lead him to question you instead. 



An object lesson upon some animal or plant is not necessarily a 

 nature-study lesson. An object lesson is for the purpose of mere obser- 

 vation, and a nature-study lesson includes both observation and under- 

 standing. 



Be sure that the pupil is more interested in the object than in the 

 questions about the object. 



The object of nature-study teaching should be to interest the child 

 in nature and not to weary him with it.
