ALPHABET OF SCIENCE 1953 - 1954 To the Teacher; As in the past, Alphabet of Science will utilize the unifying form of an alphabetical science notebook, with a key word for every letter of the alphabet. The series as a whole covers a wide range of scientific information, with three general topic areas each semester. The first semester covers meteorology, astronomy, and chemistry and physics; the second semester includes physiology and health, geology, and biology. The first program, "What is Science?", is designed to give a preliminary look into the range of science, its development in history, and the work and methods of the scientist. The key figure this year will be "Mr. X". He serves as a narrator, talking directly to the students, and giving background material, explanations, and raising the questions to be considered and answered within each program. He is not necessarily a scientist, but rather a friendly, informal personality embody¬ ing the concept of scientific knowledge and investigation. For this reason, he has been given no more specific name than "Mr. X" — for he typifies the whole range of science, with its searching, experimenting, and unlimited scope of pos¬ sibilities. As was done last year, dramatized incidents will be used to give greater color and exactness to the portraying of history, discoveries, inventions, and procedures. The manual is designed to include important facts to be gained from each pro¬ gram, a summary of each topic, suggestions for post-broadcast activities or dis¬ cussions, and specific source materials for each subject. A complete bibliography is also included. It is hoped that these materials will be helpful to both stu¬ dents and teachers. Any suggestions or criticisms will be greatly appreciated.
