"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!

To bake a universe, you'll need a heaping pile of nothing. That's
right, not a single thing! Just make sure you have enough... In How
to Bake a Universe, Alec Carvlin breaks down the Big Bang into the
steps of a recipe, from the formation of quarks and atoms (preheat
your oven to Absolute Hot) to the compression of gases into stars
and planets (just set your timer for 180 million years). Carvlin
expertly balances mind-boggling facts with snappy storytelling, and
Brian Biggs's bold and contagiously cheerful illustrations bring
the infinite down to the bite-sized. How to Bake a Universe is an
accessible and playful authority on the formation of the universe
and a heartfelt commentary on how to live in it.

Can one girl's questions change the world?Women in Physics follows
a conversation between an inquisitive young girl, who wonders why
things move the way they do, and a scientifically astute narrator,
whose answers are both accurate and approachable to a young mind.
In this way, learning the basics of physics becomes a natural
outcome of enjoying the story.Designed to motivate girls to learn
more about the natural world and see how one person can change the
world, this book has been peer reviewed by an extensive team of
scientists, science educators, and parents. One reviewer calls the
book, "digestible and fun for someone young to read," continuing,
"and yet it doesn't hold back any of the history and science it
aims to teach. If you want to instill in your daughter a lifelong
passion for science, this is a great way to start!" Delve into the
minds of inspirational women who've changed the world with their
scientific discoveries. Scientists profiled include Emilie du
Chatelet, Laura Bassi, Marie Curie, Irene Joliot-Curie, and
Chien-Shiung Wu. Concepts covered in this book include: matter,
mass, force, gravity, atoms, elements, x-rays, radioactivity,
observation, research, hypotheses, experiments, and more.This
engaging story of women who have done pioneering work in physics
sold more than 3,000 copies in its original Kickstarter run. The
third book in the "Science Wide Open" series, Women in Physics is
an ideal place for children. to start their own journeys of
discover and wonder.Lexile Measure: 780L
Children learn best through experiencing a phenomenon before trying
to understand it theoretically. This approach underpins this
valuable resource book for teachers of physics to 13-14 year olds.
Covering the basic principles of mechanics, acoustics, optics,
heat, electricity and magnetism, von Mackensen ensures that all
lessons and experiments are age-appropriate, and focus on
developing an interest in and familiarity with the phenomena being
described. Written specifically for class teachers in Waldorf
schools, but accessible to any teacher who wants to bring a more
phenomenon-based methodology to their classroom, the book starts by
introducing the fields of physics appropriate to the age group,
followed by a discussion of the main topics and detailed
descriptions of simple experiments. This book is recently revised
and reformatted in a handy workbook size for ease of teacher
reference in preparing main lesson presentations and experiments,
and is illustrated throughout.
This title is endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International
Education to support the full syllabus for examination from 2023.
Written by renowned expert authors, our updated resources enable
the learner to effectively navigate through the content of the
updated Cambridge IGCSE (TM) Physics (0625/0972) syllabus for
