4163131021 KIMIA DIK C 2016 To quote David E.Lilienthal, former chairman of the atomic energy commisions “in a democracy”, atomic energy must belong to the people and the people will have to make the decisions that the govern its use. If their decisions are to be wise ones, they must be based on knowledge of the atomic energy is and what it can do.
“But what can we say and do about atomic energy in
the elementary school?” you may ask. Certainly we do not wish to add to the already insecure feeling of young children, neither do we wish them to remain totally uninformed about this great force that has improved medical treatment, agricultural practices and power production, to mention but three of its many possible applications. But we shall we tell our children about the atomic bomb? Many teacher are anxious about this question and well they may be. This chapter would hardly be completewithout some discussion of children an their reaction to the atomic bomb. Such a discussion it, of course, bound to be inadequate, for who we shall need to read just our shights as time goes on and the situation alters? What can we do to help children feel more secure in an uncertain, angry would? What shall be the role of the teacher in dealing with the insecurity of young children? There are may aspect of this problem about which we cannot be certain, but of this we can be share: it is more than ever essential that our classroom climate be designed to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of children as well as their physical and intellectual learning about atoms and how they behave.
Using Books
Several of the books in the bibliography contain
schematic diagrams of atom to indicate their structure and give other information about them. Books may also be used as sources information to answer such question about atomic energy as “What are some important uses of atomic energy?” and “What is uranium are located?”. May of the magazine articles on atomic energy are too difficult for pupils in elementary school, but some of them are not. The teacher or a pupils who is good reader may read the article aloud and then the class may decide whether or not it is an appropriate item for the bulletin board (not too difficult, probably autentics, clearly written, etc) Parts of the article aloud and then the class may be underlined in red pencils to draw attention to their importance.
Learning About Reading Current
Science Publications
Newspaper and magazine, books, encyclopedia, and other source
informations often cite the names of scientist, how and where they worked on the various phases of atomic energy. It is important for pupils to realize how science use one another‘s discovers in learning new things and to know that scientist of many have cooperated in the discoveries. There are many ARRANGING A opportunities for interested BULLETIN individuals to report to the class BOARD the results of investigation on such subjects as the peacetime Making a bulletin use of atomic energy, uses of board display entitled. atomic energy, uses of atomic “ENERGY SOURCES energy in medicine, people who AND USES” may be a have made important useful activity to show that contribution to our knowledge of atomic energy is one of the atoms, the life of Einstein, many sources of energy. location of the sources of uranium, and the work of the Atomic Energy Commission. REPORTING DISCUSSING ATOMIC ENERGY If there is a Geiger counter available in the community (perhaps in civil defense), pupils will profit by seeing it No study of atomic energy should be and testing materials with it. Luminous undertaken without opportunity for dials on clocks, some kinds of china serious and intelligent discussion of (which contain uranium compounds), the social implications of the use of and small pieces of uranium one will the atomic bomb and other aspects of operate the counter. Pupils will see that atomic development. Again and again radiation will pass through their hands it has been said that we must help and still cause the counter to react. pupils to grow into better social beings, a healthy attitude toward the use and control of atomic is certainly USING A GEIGER COUNTER an important example of such growth.
