在《化学教育杂志》12，367 -69（1935年8月）上，出现了一项研究，“高中化学教材中的历史材料”。在他们的结论中，作者，威斯康星州奥什科什州立师范学院的JO Frank和Lester Lundsted宣称，教科书作者之间对于应该提供哪些历史材料以及如何呈现这些材料没有达成一致。有人可能会补充说，教师之间也没有达成一致意见，因此历史化学的意义或重要性往往被忽视。美国化学学会最近庆祝了美国化学工业三百周年。作为一名化学教师，我希望我的学生能欣赏这一点。我想让他们知道，从一八三三年到一九三三年，我们经历了一个科学进步的世纪，自一九一四年以来，我们的化学工业有了巨大的发展。通过创造这样一个历史背景，我相信我可以让他们看到化学的真实的精神，以及对“这些被称为实验室的神圣住所”感兴趣的必要性。因此，我在历史化学中提供这一课单元，因为我们高中的最终活动远远超出了我们的预期，我相信这些材料和建议可能对其他人有价值，关于什么和如何历史材料可以被资本化。发展对过去的知识和对这些早期科学思想尝试的欣赏。2.让男孩和女孩认识从一开始就影响科学领域的男人和女人，他们可能会越来越意识到化学的人性化一面，并对那些从事科学研究的人产生同情的态度。3.为了表明，从过去已经出现了一门影响现在的科学，并为每个公民提供了一种明智地处理影响我们国家和所有人民福利的问题的方法。你可以想出几种处理这个问题的方法。我们通过一个非常简单、直接的问题来介绍这个主题：为什么我们要研究早期人类？伍德罗·威尔逊在普林斯顿大学成立一百五十周年庆典上
T N THE Journal of Chemical Education, 12,367-69 (August, 1935) there appeared a study,“His-torical Materials in High-school Chemistry Texts.” In their conclusions, the authors, JO Frank and Lester Lundsted of State Teachers' College, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, declared that there is no agreement among textbook authors as to what historical materialsshould be given nor as to how they should be presented. One might add that there is no agreement among teachers either and therefore the significance or importance of historical chemistry is often overlooked. The American Chemical Society has recently cele-brated the tercentenary of American chemical industries. As a teacher of chemistry, I would like my pupils to appreciate that. I want them to know that from 1833 to 1933 we experienced a century of progress in science, and that since 1914 our chemical industries have grown tremendously. By creating such an his-torical background, I believe I can make them see the real spirit of chemistry and the necessityto take an interest “in these sacred dwellings called laboratories.” I therefore offer this lesson unit in historical chem-’’istry because the culminating activities in our high school have been so far beyond our expectations that I believe the materials and suggestions may be of value to others as to what and how historical materials may be capitalized.Our major objectives for the unit were: 1. To develop a knowledge of the past and an ap-preciation of these early attempts at scientific thinking. 2. To acquaint boys and girls with the men and wo-men who have influenced the field of science from its beginning to the extent that they may become increasingly aware of the human side ofchemistry, and develop a sympathetic attitude toward those who are engaged in the pursuit of science. 3. To show that out of the past has come a science which affects the present and offers to every citizen a method of treatingintelligently problems which affect the welfare of our country and of all peoples. You may think of several ways of approaching the subject. We introduced the subject by a very simple, direct question: why should we study about early men?
