- Title
CONTRIBUTIONS OF INSTRUCTIONAL FILMS TO THE TEACHING OF HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE.

- Abstract
The article presents information on a study to determine whether instructional films contribute to the teaching of high school science. Almost twenty-four films were selected for the study. The films were assumed to represent the best available in the field of science. All scenes, which made up the twenty-four films, were critically analyzed. The study revealed that the main function performed by the best motion pictures is to provide varied experiences to science students. Motion pictures can easily depict unobservable actions through animation. The study also reflects that valuable functions of motion pictures are underutilized in films designed to teach science. In motion pictures, miniature photography, which is exceedingly valuable as a means of depicting certain types of subject matter in science, has not been utilized to the maximum.
