Boettcher School of the Air; Air

KRMA-TV (Television station : Denver, Colo.)

In this science lesson, teacher James Bailey reviews the properties of air learned in the previous week's lesson and the vocabulary words for this week. He conducts experiments with candles and glass and metal containers to show that air has pressure, changes in volume in response to temperature, and contains oxygen which is necessary for fire to burn. "On this program, experienced teachers bring visual instruction, adapted to abilities and capacities of children who are home or hospital bound. Demonstrations and instruction in areas of science, literature, music, and art attempt to create participation and eliminate the feeling of isolation for children physically unable to attend regular school."--1958 Peabody Digest.
