Science Saturday

This week’s science lesson is “Jets in Action” from the 1962 edition of Exploring Science Six, the final publication in a progressive six-volume elementary science-education series by the Boston-based textbook publisher Allyn & Bacon, written by Walter A. Thurber and edited by Paul E. Smith. The chapter on jets details various jet propulsion systems and even presents a conceptual nuclear-powered aircraft. At the end, the young student is presented with six comprehension questions, some of which we could hardly answer without reading the text. Thank goodness we hold the Exploring Science series!

The illustrations shown here are by Albert and Violet Jousset, George Hardy, and Robert Candy. The Exploring Science series is part of our Historical Curriculum Collection.

as newspapers today dont tend to hire children, a modern day Tintin would run a clickbait YouTube channel, except the clickbait is 100% real every single time

he starts off as an irritating conservative pundit at 14, meets Chang then leaves the think tank paying him and launches his own independent channel and blows up shortly after. Chang helps with video editing and managing his socials and they often chat on video calls between adventures. Haddock, his foster dad, has absolutely no knowledge of his earlier videos.

It’s Girl Scout Day! March 12, 2024, is the 112th birthday of Girl Scouts in the United States, and to celebrate, we’re sharing a lithograph of the Girl Scout alumnae who became NASA astronauts.

Girl Scouts learn to work together, build community, embrace adventurousness and curiosity, and develop leadership skills—all of which come in handy as an astronaut. For example, former Scouts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir worked together to make history on Oct. 18, 2019, when they performed the first all-woman spacewalk.

Pam Melroy is one of only two women to command a space shuttle and became NASA’s deputy administrator on June 21, 2021.

Nicole Mann was the first Indigenous woman from NASA to go to space when she launched to the International Space Station on Oct. 5, 2022. Currently, Loral O’Hara is aboard the space station, conducting science experiments and research.

Participating in thoughtful activities in leadership and STEM in Girl Scouts has empowered and inspired generations of girls to explore space, and we can’t wait to meet the future generations who will venture to the Moon and beyond.

Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

Science Saturday

First published in 1955 by Boston-based textbook publisher Allyn & Bacon, Exploring Science was a six-book series written by Walter A. Thurber and edited by Paul E. Smith. The series was geared toward early elementary school students and each book covers a wide range of concepts, from natural sciences to physics and chemistry. The series was reprinted and revised many times between 1955 and its final publication in 1975.

Shown above (image 1 and 2) is the front, spine, and back covers of the 1957 edition of book six, and the front cover of the 1962 edition of the same. Illustrations by Philip B. Parsons and Charles E. B. Bernard are found in each printing, with illustrations for the new chapters in the 1962 edition, “Electromagnets” and “Jets In Action,” provided by Albert and Violet Jousset, George Hardy, and Robert Candy. Here in Special Collections, we have exemplars from all six books in the series as part of our Historical Curriculum Collection, but book six is the one we have in multiple editions. It’s interesting to see the changes, both in design and content, between the two books.
