Computer science is increasingly becoming an essential 21st century
skill. As school systems around the world recognize the importance
of computer science, demand for teachers who have the knowledge and
skills to deliver computer science instruction is rapidly growing.
Yet a number of recent studies indicate that teachers report low
confidence and limited understanding of computer science,
frequently confusing basic computer literacy skills with computer
science. This is true for both teachers at the K-8 level as well as
secondary education teachers who frequently transition to computer
science from other content areas, such as mathematics. As computer
science is not yet included in most teacher preparation programs,
professional development is a critical step in efforts to prepare
in-service teachers to deliver high-quality computer science
instruction. To date, however, research on best practices in
computer science professional development has been severely lacking
in the literature, making it difficult for researchers and
practitioners alike to examine effective in-service preparation
models. This book provide examples of professional development
approaches that help teachers integrate aspects of computing in
existing curricula at the K-8 level or deliver stand-alone computer
science courses at the secondary school level. Further, this book
identifies computational competencies for teachers, promising
pedagogical strategies that advance teacher learning, as well as
alternative pathways for ongoing learning including
microcredentials. The primary audience of the book is graduate
students and faculty in educational technology, educational or
cognitive psychology, learning theory, curriculum and instruction,
computer science, instructional systems and learning sciences.
Additionally, the book will serve as a valuable addition to
education practitioners and curriculum developers as well as policy
makers looking to increase the number of teachers who are prepared
to deliver computing education.

Distill perfume using a method created in ancient Mesopotamia by a
woman named Tapputi. This engaging guide offers a series of
snapshots of 25 scientists famous for their work with chemistry,
from ancient history through today. Each lab tells the story of a
scientist along with some background about the importance of their
work, and a description of where it is still being used or
reflected in today's world. A step-by-step illustrated experiment
paired with each story offers kids a hands-on opportunity for
exploring concepts the scientists pursued, or are working on today.
Experiments range from very simple projects using materials you
probably already have on hand, to more complicated ones that may
require a few inexpensive items you can purchase online. Just a few
of the incredible people and scientific concepts you'll explore:
Galen (b. 129 AD) Make soap from soap base, oil, and citrus peels.
Modern application: medical disinfectants Joseph Priestly (b. 1733)
Carbonate a beverage using CO2 from yeast or baking soda and
vinegar mixture. Modern application: soda fountains Alessandra
Volta (b. 1745) Make a battery using a series of lemons and use it
to light an LED. Modern application: car battery Tu Youyou (b.
1930) Extract compounds from plants. Modern application:
pharmaceuticals and cosmetics People have been tinkering with
chemistry for thousands of years. Whether out of curiosity or by
necessity, Homo sapiens have long loved to play with fire: mixing
and boiling concoctions to see what interesting, beautiful, and
useful amalgamations they could create. Early humans ground
pigments to create durable paint for cave walls, and over the next
70 thousand years or so as civilizations took hold around the
globe, people learned to make better medicines and discovered how
to extract, mix, and smelt metals for cooking vessels, weapons, and
jewelry. Early chemists distilled perfume, made soap, and perfected
natural inks and dyes. Modern chemistry was born around 250 years
ago, when measurement, mathematics, and the scientific method were
officially applied to experimentation. In 1896, after the first
draft of the periodic table was published, scientists rushed to
fill in the blanks. The elemental discoveries that followed gave
scientists the tools to visualize the building blocks of matter for
the first time in history, and they proceeded to deconstruct the
atom. Since then, discovery has accelerated at an unprecedented
rate. At times, modern chemistry and its creations have caused
heartbreaking, unthinkable harm, but more often than not, it makes
our lives better. With this fascinating, hands-on exploration of
the history of chemistry, inspire the next generation of great
scientists. Dig into even more incredible science history from The
Kitchen Pantry Scientist series with: Biology for Kids, Physics for
Kids, Math for Kids, and Ecology for Kids.

As Kirkus Reviews noted in a starred review, "Like the love child
of David Macaulay and Captain Underpants, this routinely silly,
genuinely intelligent deep dive into engineering basics leaves kids
as informed as they are amused." Using simple explanations and
diagrams and a heaping helping of humor, the Invention Hunters make
the perfect companions for curious kids who are ready to learn
about science, physics, history, and more. In the first book of the
series to be released in paperback, the Invention Hunters travel
the globe in their flying museum collecting the world's greatest
inventions! Today they've landed in a construction zone. These
silly scientists think they've stumbled on incredible specimens of
everything you'd never find at a building site, from roller skates
and pogo sticks to swords and race cars. But what they really
discover--with a kid as their guide--is how simple machines like
pulleys, cranks, and levers are used to engineer tools ranging from
jackhammers to dump trucks...and even toilets!
Magnets stick to your refrigerator. Magnets make paperclips jump.
