Science & Education: Essays

"Science & Education: Essays" by Thomas Henry Huxley is a set of essays from the 1800's that examines science and learning. The author writes about the value of real-world science and logical thinking in schools. The ideas in the collection show how important science is and how it encourages students to think more deeply, looking at how physiology and biology can change how we teach, and calling for these subjects to be part of what students learn to help them think critically and better understand the world around them. The author starts by talking about Joseph Priestley, recognizing his impact on science and religion, praising his commitment to thinking reasonably, and promoting science as a key part of education. The book explores the connection between science, thought, and how we learn.
