Heath, Phillip A.; Heath, Pearl
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v19 n7 p577-85 Oct 1982
Investigated effects of limited oral/physical teacher intervention on object manipulation by preschool/early elementary children (N=70). Experimental students had magnets placed in their hands and were orally invited to explore. Results indicated differences between experimental/control groups in time spent with objects, number of activities performed, and cognitive level of operation. (Author/JN)
