Abstract

A controlled investigation of green plants as the most important food factories of the world has been made in order to contribute more information upon the issue. Stated more specifically, the problems of this experimental study were the following: 1. To determine which of the two methods, if either, is superior as a procedure for learning. 2. To determine whether laboratory experiments are more effective than lecture-demonstration in training students to think clearly, to correlate and retain facts; and finally, to draw logical conclusions. 3. To determine, if possible, which method stimulated the greater amount of pupil interest.
