The Art and Science of Lecture Demonstration


Product Description
As a means of conveying the excitement of science from one generation to the next, the lecture demonstration is one of the most powerful tools at the disposal of the modern science teacher. The interest of the young aspiring scientist is aroused not by dull textbook recitation, but by the enthusiastic lecturer with a range of demonstrations that illustrate the importance of science in the real world.In this lucid and entertaining book, Professor Taylor explores the origins of lecture demonstration and its development to the present day, emphasizing the underlying principles and the lessons to be learned. Set alongside the work of the most eminent of his predecessors, Michael Faraday and Lawrence Bragg, Taylor's book should find a worthy place among the literature of popular science. The Art and Science of Lecture Demonstration will be useful to all those with a serious amateur or professional interest in the teaching of science, from primary school to university and beyond.
The Art and Science of Lecture Demonstration Review
One word can describe this book--superlative! This book should be required reading for every person who teaches science! Why? Because it is The Book on how science is to be taught!Succinctly,it is impossible to teach science- categorically impossible- without experiment! The foundation of the modern world rests upon proof by experiment! Pierre Duhem was explicit: "experiment is the sole criteria of truth for a physical theory." Science cannot be taught, its verity proven, by mere lecture i.e. words, assertion, and speculation, regardless of the teacher or professor, whether middle school or the upper levels of academe--not a chance! The verity of science, like love is found only in Demonstration, not verbalization. Do you want to know the secret to being a great science teacher-- you must be an inspiring teacher-Must!( Demonstration is the mother of Inspiration.) This text by Charles Taylor will show you how! There is no book like It! Ben BilyeuMost of the consumer Reviews tell that the "The Art and Science of Lecture Demonstration" are high quality item.
