After dfteen minutes Of physical culture
exercises with the windows open tho sci
ence lesson may next be taken up. Say
int Matter ami States Of Matter IS the
topic prescribed. The differences between
solids. liquids and gases are explained b.
the teacher; how matter Is made up OF
molecules held together in such away as
to cause any one Of the three states men
TONED. Force. the cause Of motion. the
general force Of nature and gravitation and
what gravita-lOH causes in bodies are de
scTibed With practical Illustrations. This
lesson lasts til 1880 o'clock
For home study q is customary for The
teacher 20 direct her PUPILS 10 experiment
individually. Tn Keeping WITH the subject
OF the day i'm elementary physics sine viii
naturally assign one Of tho routine expert
msnts IN gravity. Tho children are told
TO c';t n piece OF cardboard IT, an irregI-
lar share and locate is centre Of gravity
They must provide. in addition 20 the
cardboard. the following apparatus: \
plumb line consisting OF "a string n which
| Is attached a stone or other heavy ObiecD.
"a support. a ru:c and q pin. The direc-
/ lions then given are. Suspend the card
| board loosely by means OF the pin inserted
/ close 10 one edge or corner. Attach the
\ plumb line 20 the pin that the striug
viii hang in front Of the cardboard. WheG
/ the string comes 10 rest. mark point on
the cardboard dir city under tire string
/ and remove the cardboard. Draw a straight
line connecting this mark with the point
Of support. Repeat, inserting the pin Ga
two other edges or corners of the card
board. Try o. balance the cardboard or
The point Of the pin placed a The pOiu- OF
intersection of the lines.
Answers to the following must be writ
ten and brought 10 school b. each pupil "a
the morning TO De submitted at the mex
Iesson. I. IN what direction does the olumf
line hang >. What is tho position of thu
centre of gravity with reference TO the
point II supP,Tt? :. Why is the certre o
gravity found al the Intersection of th'
lines?
At the termination OF the science period
at II 80 o'clock. a half hours study accord
