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.Â
