List of teaching aids

The ASE List of Teaching Aids provides a comprehensive catalogue of films, books, charts, and other visual materials that can help the teaching of science. It also includes addresses of fieldwork centres, clubs and societies for students and museum services. All this, of course refers to what was available at the time of publication, 1966. The introduction points out that aids are not ends in themselves and that the best aids are the actual organisms or materials which can be handled and investigated by the children. It also points out the uses of aids, such as providing as a stimulus at the beginning or during a course of study, extending children’s field of experience, aiding understanding of processes and key ideas and summarising and revising work done.
