Sail a toy ship across the ocean... Build an igloo... Ollie and Harry Ferguson did it-and you can too! Starting with a list of 500 "adventures", the Scottish brothers set out to live life to its fullest. They've photographed the sea floor, launched a plastic toy into space, mummified fish and tracked wild animals; they've gone magnet fishing and camping, sailed aboard a deep-sea diving vessel, caught lobsters, made a bathtub in the woods, crossed the ocean in a toy boat, gone on a meteorite hunt, made a megapult, raised chickens, built an outdoor shelter, sailed a kite boat, built a wildlife reserve, went on a mountain hike and have flown trained falcons. With striking colour photographs and featuring step-by-step directions for some of the boys' best adventures, this book provides guidance that will inspire families to marvellous adventures of their own.

An engaging look at the global impact of robots and robotics, discovering how robot helpers move, sense and make decisions in the service of humans. Fearsome robots are sometimes shown in sci-fi movies attacking Earth, but in real life, robots are actually helping to save the planet. Service robots are put to work helping people in all sorts of locations, from hospitals and care homes to factories and restaurants. Among other amazing feats, robot helpers can produce one complete motor car every 30 seconds, prepare 300 pizzas an hour and reply to questions in 15 languages. In this book, aimed at children aged 8+, readers can meet these robot helpers and many more, then try a quick quiz to find out how much they have learned.

Science is a subject matter that requires learners to explore the world and develop their own abilities on the basis of that exploration. As technology broadens and deepens, science teachers need to expand their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), which determines how well they use technology to help students learn science. The book details our efforts to prepare science teachers to teach with the help of technology, examining various aspects of teacher education, professional development and teaching material preparation. It consists of three parts, which focus on: how TPACK is conceptually constructed within the field of science education, how teacher evaluation and teaching materials are developed and utilized based on the transformative model and how science teachers are prepared and supported with electronic resources based on the integrative model. The book offers a valuable resource for all those working in science education, as well as those readers who are interested in teacher education. Science teachers will come to know how simulations and animations can pedagogically support student learning. Practices for teachers' TPACK development such as learning-by-design, evaluation and measurement and teacher communities are also addressed, applied and discussed in the case of science teachers. The individual chapters will provide teacher educators and researchers from all disciplines with new insights into preparing teachers for the Digital Era.

Contains audio versions of reading passages from the Student Book to provide additional language support to students. One set of Class Audio CDs available per level.

This book WON'T test your mental maths or teach you countless ways to find x. It WILL show you just how fascinating maths can be. Can maths make people rich? Can formulas predict which sports teams will win more games? Can equations explain the mysteries of the universe? The short answer to all these is YES. This book explores and explains the ways that the tools of mathematics help people make sense of the world around them, predict the future and, just maybe, how to make life itself better.
