The children were introduc- ed to Gordon Penrose, former master teacher in science for the York county board of education, and the students contributed to the transfor- %A. HELPING HANDS - Donny Theil (left) and Jeremy Steinmann assist Dr. Zed in a science demonstration for Zurich school children. mation to absent-minded pro- fessor. One child panted on thick white eyebrows, another helped the scientist into the mandatory white lab coat, and two more were called on to brush an ordinary head of longish white hair into a dishevelled mop. Dr. Zed explained the derivation of his name: after children learn the alphabet . from A to Z, they can read for themselves how to do things. During the one-hour presen- tation, Dr. Zed involved many of the students. Some picked the next experiment, others read out the instructions, still others cut a balloon inhalf, mixed up a thick concoction of detergent and water, or threaded straws on string to assist the professor in simple, safe, scientific experiments that are tested at least four times before being published in magazines and books, or demonstrated before school children. After demonstrating a way to make bubbles without. blowing, a paper helicopter, and a visual display of voice patterns, Dr. Zed left sets of materials so each school could repeat the experiments. Penrose admits he is sometimes stumped by students' questions. He recall- ed being unable ,to explain why some fish travel in schools and others are loners, or how holography works, although he knew it had something to do with in- terference patterns. "I learn as much from the children as they do from me", he said. The Dr. Zed appearance in OWL magazine has launched Penrose on a new career, visiting libraries, schools and anywhere else a large grolip of children have gathered to learn more about the world we live in. He has appeared on TVO and Romper Room and was consultant for CBC radio's five-part series The Wonderful World of Science, 'aired last November for grades 1 to 3 and winning a coveted international award for the CBC. A year ago Penrose was one of three educators, and the first elementary school teacher, chosen to become Fellows of the Ontario In- stitute for Studies in Educa- tion. He shares this honour with such distinguished reci- pients as Northrop Fry, chancellor of Victoria Univer- sity, and Madeline Hardy, director of London's board of education. Penrose's Zurich visit was made possible by financial support from Outreach On- tario and was co-sponsored by the Huron county libraries through the midwestern regional library system which takes in Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Stratford, Cam- bridge, and Wellington and Huron Counties. "During the year, we try to get something centred around each library in Huron", said Theresa Wilson, children's librarian for Huron, adding that Bob Schneider, children's recording artist, was at the Exeter library in June. "This way, the whole com- munity benefits", Mrs. Wilson affirmed. To be puffed with conceit does not make anyone a swell guy.
