THE ELECTROMAGNET. A SUPPLEMENTARY READING UNIT IN SCIENCE.
KINNEY, RICHARD; MOBILIZATION FOR YOUTH CURRICULUM STAFF
A SAMPLE READING UNIT IN SCIENCE IS PRESENTED FOR DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS AT THREE LEVELS OF ABILITY. THE READING LESSON IS COMPLETE WITH ILLUSTRATIONS OF ELECTROMAGNETS. FOLLOWING THE SUPPLEMENTARY UNIT ARE THREE SAMPLE OBJECTIVE TESTS FOR THE DIFFERENT ABILITY LEVELS. EACH SET OF QUESTIONS IS DESIGNED BOTH TO TEST KNOWLEDGE OF SCIENCE FACTS GAINED IN READING THE LESSON AND TO EMPHASIZE LANGUAGE ARTS SKILLS USING WORDS FOUND IN THE UNIT. THE ENGLISH SKILLS EMPHASIZED INCLUDE ALPHABETIZING, FORMING PLURAL WORDS, ADDING WORD PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES, SYLLABIFICATION, AND USE OF THE DICTIONARY. SUCH A SUPPLEMENTARY READING UNIT SERVES AS AN AID IN TEACHING BOTH SCIENCE AND THE LANGUAGE ARTS.
