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.
Simple explanations of complex ideas for your future genius!
Written by an expert, Electromagnetism for Babies is a colorfully

board book series is the perfect way to introduce basic concepts to
even the youngest scientists. After all, it's never too early to
become a scientist! Baby University: It only takes a small spark to
ignite a child's mind.
Neil deGrasse Tyson has become one of the most recognisable and

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!
