Discover how geology is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Science - Geology. Explore the wonders of Earth and see how geology is all around us, from nature's materials that are used to construct roads and buildings, to the minerals found in your mobile phone and drinks can. Witness a volcanic eruption, find out if there is water on Mars, unearth a dinosaur and meet the geologists and scientists who brought geology to life, including Zelma Maine Jackson, Georges Cuvier and Florence Bascom. Readers can also carry out cool geology experiments at home. With easy-to-understand text written by STEM expert Emily Dodd, and lots of colourful artworks, photos and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter geology and why it's even important at all. The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to their future success, these books show readers how we use science, technology, engineering and maths in our everyday lives. While the topics sound high-level and complex, this series makes these concepts age-appropriate and accessible. So, while we can't promise to teach 9 to 11-year-olds quantum physics, we can explain in the simplest terms the practical applications of STEM.

The latest edition takes into account the requirements for the West African Examinations Council, the Hong Kong School Certificate, the East African Examnations Council and the Singapore Ministry of Education. Semiconductor devices and their applications are becoming increasingly important in physics courses at this level. To reflect this, the fifth edition includes a substantial amount of new material on logic gates and their uses.

Teach young learners about the science behind pushing, pulling, forces and interactions. Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, this wordless book features vivid images and will encourage students to describe and learn about the reactions that take place when engaging in fun activities like playing tug-of-war or riding a bike.

The states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases) are explained and demonstrated. Includes an experiment to try.

Problem-solving is one of the most challenging aspects students encounter in general chemistry courses, leading to frustration and failure. Consequently, many students become less motivated to take additional chemistry courses after the first year. This book tackles this issue head on and provides innovative, intuitive, and systematic strategies to tackle any type of calculations encountered in chemistry. The material begins with the basic theories, equations, and concepts of the underlying chemistry, followed by worked examples with carefully explained step-by-step solutions to showcase the ways in which the problems can be presented. The second edition contains additional problems at the end of each chapter with varying degrees of difficulty, and many of the original examples have been revised.

Mae'r pynciau yn y llyfr hwn yn helpu disgyblion i ddeall nodweddion defnyddiau drwy ymchwiliad. Maent yn atgyfnerthu dulliau ymchwil gwyddonol trwy fynnu bod disgyblion yn cynllunio ac yn gwneud gweithgareddau ymarferol, ystyried tystiolaeth, a chyfl wyno syniadau a chasgliadau. Mae nhw'n canolbwyntio ar greu grwpiau a dosbarthu defnyddiau, newid defnyddiau a gwahanu cymysgedd o ddefnyddiau, ond mae hefyd yn cynnwys cysyniadau eraill fel grymoedd, gwres a magneteg yng nghyswllt deall nodweddion defnyddiau. The topics in this book help pupils understand the properties of materials through investigation. They reinforce methods of scientific enquiry by requiring pupils to plan, carry out practical activities, consider evidence, and present ideas and conclusions. They focus on grouping and classifying materials, changing materials, and separating mixtures of materials, but other concepts such as forces, heat and magnetism are also included within the context of understanding the properties of materials. The three books in the Brilliant Support Activities Science series are an ideal way of introducing scientific terms in Welsh. The books are designed to develop the essential skills of observation, predicting, recording and drawing conclusions. The books contain a mixture of paper-based tasks and 'hands on' activities. The reproducible worksheets introduce one concept or statement per sheet (unless they are review sheets), and they can be used in any order. They are designed for use by individual pupils or to be used as a class activity if all the class are working at the same ability range.

"The activities and examples include many that have withstood the test of time for successful science instruction and that enable teachers to link science to the lives of students." -Elizabeth Hammerman, Science Educator and Consultant "A substantial contribution to the field of science education and an easy way for busy teachers to make science more meaningful, exciting, and connected for students. An important mix of both content and activities that teachers can use to meet individual needs." -Kerry Williams, Professor, Wayne State College Boost student interest and understanding in the physical sciences! Teaching physical science in the elementary and middle grades can be challenging for busy teachers faced with growing science demands and limited classroom resources. Robert Prigo provides fun and engaging activities using safe, available materials that educators can easily incorporate into lesson plans. Extensive examples, sample inquiry questions, and ideas for initiating units are readily available for teachers to pick and choose from to meet student needs. The result of more than two decades of professional development work with hundreds of teachers and administrators, Making Physics Fun addresses five specific areas of physical science: motion and force, fluids and buoyancy, waves and sound, light and electromagnetic waves, and electricity and magnetism. Dozens of activities demonstrating physics in action help students of all ages relate physics principles to their everyday experiences. Using easy-to-understand language, this practitioner-friendly resource helps teachers: Address the "big ideas" in K-8 science education Promote student understanding with ready-to-use learning experiences Use hands-on activities to help students make larger, real-world connections Assemble classroom learning centers to facilitate deeper understanding of basic physics principles With conceptual summaries to support teachers' proficiency and understanding of the content, this guidebook is ideal for bringing physics to life for students in the classroom and in their lives!
