The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its
own reason for existing. This fascinating biography details the
life and achievements of Albert Einstein, a scientist and
mathematician who made significant contributions to the field of
physics. Einstein's famous Theory of Relativity changed the world's
understanding of space and created a whole new kind of science to
study - cosmology.

Light and sound help us recognize objects and noises! This
fascinating book will allow readers to understand how vibrations,
radiant energy, wavelength, frequency, amplitude, reflection,
optics, and sound waves help us to see and hear the world around
us. Through vivid images, helpful facts, intriguing sidebars, an
accommodating glossary and index, and a hands-on lab activity,
readers will be engaged from beginning to end!
Youniverse aims to inspire a reverence for our fragile blue planet
voyaging through space. The lyrical text and simple, childlike
illustrations linger on one object at a time, building a
mind-liberating journey from electrons and photos through atoms,
molecules, cells, and the human body; outward to the solar system,
the Milky Way, and the universe; and backward to the beginning of
time in the Big Bang. Light weaves through the pages as it weaves
the universe together, showing us that we have almost everything in
common with a quivering aspen leaf and the dust of a distant
nebula. "Your imagination is the greatest of miracles," van der
Merwe writes, "a consciousness that contemplates the atoms and the
stars from which it was made." A child sees a world in a tidepool
and an enchanted forest in a copse of trees. Songbirds speak
messages. Moonlight whispers through an open window. The inner and
outer worlds flow together without boundaries. Does growing up have
to mean leaving that magic kingdom behind? Lizelle van der Merwe
believes that a child's sense of wonder should instead be
encouraged, expanded, and immortalized with the real-life magic of
science. The more we know about the quantum worlds within and
outside us, the more wisdom is evident in a child's view of the
world.
The Big Ideas in Physics and How to Teach Them provides all of the
knowledge and skills you need to teach physics effectively at
secondary level. Each chapter provides the historical narrative
behind a Big Idea, explaining its significance, the key figures
behind it, and its place in scientific history. Accompanied by
detailed ready-to-use lesson plans and classroom activities, the
book expertly fuses the 'what to teach' and the 'how to teach it',
creating an invaluable resource which contains not only a thorough
explanation of physics, but also the applied pedagogy to ensure its
effective translation to students in the classroom. Including a
wide range of teaching strategies, archetypal assessment questions
and model answers, the book tackles misconceptions and offers
succinct and simple explanations of complex topics. Each of the
five big ideas in physics are covered in detail: electricity forces
energy particles the universe. Aimed at new and trainee physics
teachers, particularly non-specialists, this book provides the
knowledge and skills you need to teach physics successfully at
secondary level, and will inject new life into your physics
teaching.
A vibrant and hands-on approach to practical science experiments,

learning the essential key facts, readers can find almost
everything they need for the experiments around the home, and the
materials and instructions are simply, safely, and clearly
presented. Written by David Glover, this STEM-focused book will
show readers how to make a hot-air pinwheel, fly your own homemade
kite, build a waterwheel, and much more.
