Rollo's Philosophy. [Air]
Rollo's Philosophy: Air is one of Jacob Abbott's Rollo books, a long series that taught American children about the world through the adventures of a curious boy, his family and friends. In this volume, issued in a revised edition in 1855, Rollo and his companions learn about the properties of air through everyday experiences and simple experiments: being lost in the snow, flying, making valves, testing air pressure, ballooning and long philosophical discussions. Each chapter ends with questions for the young reader. Abbott's aim, as he explains in his preface, is less to teach facts than to form habits of observation and reasoning, and the book is a charming example of early science teaching. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
