Main 772-7169 Modern Students Use Toys To Learn Science, Reading A student dashing off to class with a toy tucked under his arm does not necessarily mean that he is off to play. he might be going to a class on science, mathematics or even reading. Toys going to school these days is-another effect of the age of science and space travel on education. For many years audio vis ual models and three dimen sional charts, used extensively in the nation's school systems, were primarily developed as teaching aids, unlike the pres ent school toys, which are identical with those sold in toy and hobby shops. Naw Direction This new direction in toys is the result of manufacturers recognizing the nation's crash program in education and that parents, interested in their children's future were more and more seeking toys that taught while being enjoyed. Teachers, from elementary school to college, discovered that many so-called play things were invaluable in sharpening a pupil's basic un derstanding! n a variety of subjects. They found, for in stance, that a young geom etry student could more quick ly understand the theory of geometric shapes by assem bling a model car than by trying to remember draw ings in textbooks. So important has this pro gram become that the Na tional Science Teachers asso ciation has set up a group of expert educators, headed by Dr. H. Seymour Fowler, Penn sylvania .State university, to evaluate and recommend spe cific toy products as teaching aids. EST 71 "mr Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn W. Warkini (Rtflir.r tt Trlhunt Syndicate, lgflzi She Explodes the 'Tone of Voice' Theory y Besides being very interest ing, the letter the lady wrote contained some astute observa tions. She wrote: "Those who claim to know all things say a dog responds to a familiar sound; that is, to any group of words that sounds like. a command he is accustomed to obey. "As I . pondered these thoughts I looked down at my faithful friend, Prince, my German shepherd, who was sound asleep on the floor at my feet. Old boy, I thought to myself, I'm going to find out if you are as smart as I think you are or as dumb as most folks say you are. Whatever I find out I'll not love you less, but for my own satisfaction I'd like to know. "One of the pastimes Prince liked to do, best was to go for a ride in the car. Always we had said to him, "Prince, rin you want to go in the car?" This had an immediate effect however sound asleep he hap pened to be; he would jump up, run to the door and when it was opened for him he would rush lo the car and wait for the door to be opened." Dash of Tar "Remembering the tone of voice I always used, I got out of my chair, walked to the kitchen door and instead of saying, 'Prince, do you want to go in the car?' I said, 'Clinch, do you savor a dash of tar?' The dog awoke at the sound of my voice, cocked his head to one side and looked at me as if I had my mouth full of marbles. "He didn't get up; he didn't go to' the door. He hadn't understood what I had said, and I couldn't hlame him. "I waited a little while ind tried something different. He would respond equally well when we asked him 'wanna go for a walk?' I changed this one to, 'Monn, with a banana fork.' Ml swear he looked pityingly at me. with a sister-your-molor's - missing expres sion. He was hrsinning lo feel sorry for me; his old friend, becoming mentally deranged." Ignored Her "He made no attempt to go to the door; in fact, he ignored me and seemed to be a little disgusted. My remark had marie no sense and he knew it. So I tried another favorite that usually sent him into a frenzy of happiness, "Here comes daddy.' I said it differ ently, however, and in the same tone of voire 1 had al ways used when my husband was coming, 'Fearsome caddy,' to me it sounded like here conies daddy, hut Prince wasn't the least bit fooled. "Neither did he go to the door to listen or the familiar sound of the returning car; he merely remained static; un ruffled and seemingly con fused by my stammering, or tiie way I was goofing the language " "Every tune, before Irut experiment, and ever since, whenevrr I use different words that sound the same. Prince looks at me. as much as to say, -you're talking more latelv, but you are saving IMS'." According to the Toy Man ufacturers association and the Hobby Industry association, leading companies in these in dustries are. doing special re search in the developing of products with built-in educa tional use, as well as fun. One company, Revell, Inc., has spent more than a year and many thousands of dollars researching its new series of electronics and meteorology science kits. A boy using its weather forecast, lahnratnrv. for the tun nt anlii,ing1in0 lirhalh,! it will rain or shine, will be absorbing certain essentials of physics. He will become familiar with the effect of air pressures; by calculating relative humidity and using the temperature humidity in dex he will understand slide rule calculations. Assembling and operating the transistorized short wave radio, made by the same com pany, says Dr. Harvey Blair, nationally known educator, he will get a firmer grasp of the fundamentals of electronics than most textbooks provide, or the typical electronics ex perimental toys of several years ago that were de veloped solely for play. Better Student The boy able to hear Mos cow, Paris or Saigon on the radio that he himself built, will become a better student of geography, political science, as well as the social sciences. Included with these kits are well illustrated, com prehensive educational book lets developed by authorities in their field. Schools also found an econ omic advantage in this up surge of teaching toys. Be cause manufacturers produce their items for high volume sales, they became available to schools at much lower prices than are usual for es pecially prepared educational aids. And unlike textbooks, which have to be different for each grade and subject, many of these so-called toys serve a multitude of pur poses. Comparative studies, indi cating the better grades made by students in schools using this type of product has had an impact on the national level. Aware of the need for fu ture scientists, the IT. S.
