Science in the Age of Reason
Dr. Jay L. Wile
Science in the Age of Reason is the fourth book in a hands-on, multilevel elementary science series that introduces scientific concepts using history as its guide. It covers the scientific works of natural philosophers from the early 1600s to the early 1800s. Because the course covers science as it was developed, it discusses a wide range of topics including astronomy, medicine, botany, zoology, chemistry, geology, human physiology, electricity, conservation laws, and weather. Students learn not only the science that was being discovered at the time, but also the beliefs of the natural philosophers who were discovering it. As a result, students can see how a person’s worldview affects his or her scientific conclusions.
Because of its unique design, the course can be used by all elementary-age students. Each lesson contains an interesting hands-on activity that helps illustrate the scientific concept that is being discussed, and it concludes with three different levels of review exercises. Students do whatever review exercise matches their specific level of understanding.
NARRATORS NOTE:
This audiobook is a supplement. It does not replace the book. Even though I do read through the instructions for all the experiments, it will be much easier for you to actually do the experiments if you have those instructions in written form. In addition, there are times when I will refer to specific pictures in the book, therefore I will change the wording from time-to-time so that you don’t have to be looking at the book while you listen to this recording.
Because Science in the Scientific Revolution is designed to give students a hands-on experience when it comes to studying nature, each lesson contains an experiment. Usually, there is some reading, then an experiment, and then more reading. As a result, most lessons are composed of three tracks so that you can skip around depending on your needs.
