SCHOOL AND
... Y0l)R CHILD
Ry John Corey
“Cookbook" method of teaching
science has been shelved by a teach
er at the demonstration high
school on the campus of Appalach
ian State Teachers college at
Boone.
Rather than have hoys and girls
conduct laboratory experiments ac
cording to “step-by-step” direc
tions in a textbook like a rookie
cook bakes a cake, James E. Had
den requires the -students to figure
their own way.
A typical Hadden assignment:
Make a batch of rayon.
This type of problem closely re
sembles one faced by a real scient
ist. The high schooler, like the
! scientist, tackles the assignment
and tries to come tip with the ray
on.
To do so, he must exercise his
mind in applying fundamental
knowledge learned in science clas
ses and at the same time create.
He makes believe that rayon is
an unknown discovery and that it’s
up to him, the research scientist,
to develop it.
Rayon comes from cellulose in
wood. The youth must extract the
cellulose, made in leaves of a tree
I from air and water and stored in
the trunk, and turn it into rayon.
Other assignments by Science
Teacher Hadden call for students
to make DDT (insecticide), pepper
mint flavoring and compare the
■ strength of Vitamin C in canned
1 orange juice with fresh orange
■ juice.
After the youngsters have com
pleted the problems, they compare
; their procedures and solutions
with those in the textbook. Occa
sionally a bright kid’s method is
' better.
This learning procedure, accord
ing to Hadden, provides opportuni
ties for “real experiences with true
science—finding answers by exper
iments.'”
As for the teacher, states Had
den, he competes with the marvels
of modern day scientists and makes
his subject become even more alive
by being, in a small way, a re
search director.
