SCIENCE for BEGINNERS 



By DELOS FALL 



Professor of Chemistry, Albion College 



I 



'"T^O supply the need for a course that will give the pre- 

 * paratory training which any scientific study demands, 

 SCIENCE FOR BEGINNERS by Professor Delos Fall was made. 



The aim in this text is to win the interest of pupils, to 1 

 give them conceptions of nature that are fundamental, and | 

 above all to ground them in the method of science. 



The subject matter has to do with the earth sciences, and 

 principally with physics and chemistry. In the develop- 

 ment of each topic, every advantage that the pupils' ex- | 

 perience and interest may afford is utilized. Exercises 

 or experiments are interspersed throughout the work, and 

 for these only the simplest materials are required. The 

 studies arc carried to those connecting principles which 

 permit the organization of knowledge. The book is jllus- 1 

 trated with a number of excellent photographs and over I 

 200 drawings of more than usual merit. 



The text is adapted for use In grades seven, eight, and 

 nine, or in any classes that are about to take up their first 

 work in science. It will prove helpful to the teachers and 

 pupils who use it directly, and its influence will continue 

 with classes as .they advance. It will thoroughly ground 

 pupils in those ideas that are prerequisite to any right 

 work in science.
