Science Saturday
We return to our Historical Curriculum Collection children’s book All Around Us by Wilbur L. Beauchamp, Gertrude Crampton, and William S. Gray, and published by Scott, Foresman and Company in Chicago in 1944. This is Book B in the Scott Foresman Basic Studies in Science: Curriculum Foundation Series. The series was based on the experiential “Look and Learn” approach.
Previously we highlighted sections on animals and plants from this book. Today we focus on the “Sun, Wind, and Weather” section with emphasis on sunlight and shadow, using thermometers, and the wind as force. Russian-born Chicago artist and illustrator Gregory Orloff did the illustrations for “Do Shadows Help Tell Time?” and the girls experimenting with thermometers, while the remainder are by the husband and wife team of A. F. Hurford and Miriam Story Hurford. Miriam Hurford is remembered especially as one of the illustrators for Scott Foresman’s Dick and Jane readers, which was written by William S. Gray.
