NATURE STUDY WITH COMMON 



THINGS ;^o.6o 



By M. H. CARTER, Department of Elementary Science, 

 New York Training School for Teachers 



THIS laboratory guide for pupils in the fourth, fifth, or 

 sixth years, takes up the blackberry, plum, pear, grape, 

 radish, potato, apple, apple blossom, lemon, orange, 

 onion, beet, carrot, pea, cranberry, strawberry, and cherry. 

 Full directions and suggestive questions are given in connection 

 with the work. The specimens were chosen largely with 

 economy in view, and the entire book calls for the simplest 

 apparatus, the cheapest material. It asks only for school desks, 

 paper to cover them, knives and pins, pencils and paper.

THIS book includes the study of the Hepatica, Spring

 tended as a reading lesson, followed by two pages of questions 

 covering the complete physical description of the plant and 

 its habits ; after each question there is a blank space for the 

 child's written answer. Two blank pages are left for a 

 summary in writing, and two for drawing.
