Federal and state funding agencies have invested billions of
dollars into secondary STEM (Science, Technology, Education,
Mathematics) educational reform over the past decade. This volume
addresses the interplay of external and internal variables
associated with school reform and how this dynamic has impacted
many efforts.
Anatomy is a gorgeous, large-format book filled with clever cutouts
exploring every detail of the organs, systems and senses that make
up that most marvellous of machines, the human body. This
fact-filled journey is illustrated by Helene Druvert, the acclaimed
creator of the award-winning Paris Up, Up and Away and Mary Poppins
Up, Up and Away. Her father, a doctor, has contributed the text,
which is perfectly pitched at children of nine and over. A BBC
Focus Magazine Illustrated Book of the Year
This book provides a descriptive, progressive narrative on the
flipped classroom including its history, connection to theory,
structure, and strategies for implementation. Important questions
to consider when evaluating the purpose and effectiveness of
flipping are answered. The book also highlights case studies of
flipped higher education classrooms within five different subject
areas. Each case study is similarly structured to highlight the
reasons behind flipping, principles guiding flipped instructions,
strategies used, and lessons learned. An appendix that contains
lesson plans, course schedules, and descriptions of specific
activities is also included.
Digital video and film technologies are transforming classrooms
across the world. Teaching the Screen looks beyond the buttons and
knobs to explore ways of teaching video and film effectively in
secondary classrooms. More and more young people have access to
low-cost filming and editing technologies - mobile phones,
computers, portable digital - which is changing the experience of
digital storytelling. Approaches to classroom teaching and learning
need to change too. The authors offer a new pedagogy of film
storytelling that draws on research from effective classroom film
learning practice. They contextualise screen learning within
different educational settings, discuss how teachers can highlight
aesthetics in film appreciation and filmmaking, and explore the
impact of different technologies. Teaching the Screen is essential
reading for educators who want to create engaging learning and
teaching activities with screen technologies in secondary English
and other subject areas.'A well balanced and comprehensive account
of the issues in filmmaking likely to be encountered by English
teachers. It lifts engagement beyond the usual procedural knowledge
level, to one of active critique.' - Sue Brindley, University of
Cambridge'This book has bridged the theoretical and practical
without compromising either. It offers a thorough systematic
account of theoretical issues and practical techniques in teaching
film appreciation and filmmaking.' - Associate Professor George
Belliveau, University of British Columbia
"As Scott gazed at the revolving space station, looking quite
state-of-the-art, he whistled to himself softly. The winner of the
Star Park contest would go to this just-completed space station.
And the winner would be the first one to experience the first-ever
virtual-reality space adventure Inside the space station, Star Park
had created a gigantic version of their new computer. This gigantic
computer could create a world-size virtual-reality adventure. Scott
had jumped at the chance to win such a prize. The only way to enter
the contest was to buy a Star Park computer. Then with the
virtual-reality capability of the computer, the contestant had to
make up an adventure and submit it to Star Park. The winning
adventure would entitle the contestant to go to Star Park. To
experience a world-size adventure was by itself exciting. But to
also travel to the space station he was gawking at now made the
whole idea irresistible. He had never wanted anything more than to
win this contest."
Creating and harnessing energy is a fundamental part of enabling
life to exist and thrive on earth. Energy comes in a vast array of
different forms - using our muscles and those of other creatures,
enabling us to move, lift etc, creating heat and steam through
fire, capturing the power of the wind in a ship's sails or to turn
the blades of a wind turbine, harnessing the power of moving water
to generate electricity in a hydroelectric power station, applying
the forces of magnetism to turn an electric motor, using solar
panels to transfer the sun's energy into electricity for our homes
- all of these and more are explained in 'Discovering Energy'.
