Excerpt:

"This book is designed to be of practical help to teachers, particularly those in elementary schools, and to college students who are preparing to teach. It is intended especially for those who may lack confidence in teaching science or whose background in science may be limited.

"This book requires no previous training in science, and no special or costly equipment. It does, however, call for a willingness to try new things, to explore and investigate, and to seek answers through observation and experimentation instead of merely accepting what others say. Above all, it assumes on part of the reader a desire to help children learn by exploring and investigating the fascinating world around them."
