This teaching guide supports the series Go Facts: Physical Science.
Each pupil book is a model of well-written, accurate and
easy-to-read non-fiction. The author has incorporated a variety of
text types and specific features of non-fiction texts that pupils
are required to study in literacy lessons, including information
reports, explanations, instructions and discussions. Go Facts are
ideal for combining topic work and literacy lessons.
What if Einstein played rugby? Surely Time Magazine's "Man of the
Century" might offer useful tips and techniques to defeat the
opposition? In this book, the world of physics joins forces with
the world of rugby, to show you how to tackle harder, pass safer,
run faster, and scrum better - all the things you need to do to
win. Blending simple physics, the kind you meet in high school,
with anecdotes and stories from the world of rugby, Trevor
Lipscombe takes us on a journey from scrum ruck and maul, to the
running and passing of the offence, the chasing and tackling of the
defence, through the kicking of penalties, to dressing for success
in scorching summer sevens or winning in the winter. Physics at
last comes alive, for here we look at a scrum, say, show what
Newton's laws have to say about it, and then use the physics to see
how to improve rugby. For any rugby fan with a smattering of
science, or any science buff who knows the rudiments of rugby, "The
Physics of Rugby" should delight, entertain, and instruct.
This ultimate study guide with in-depth GCSE course coverage is all
you need for exam success. Revise GCSE Physics has everything you
need to achieve the GCSE grade you want. It is written by GCSE
examiners to boost learning and focus revision. * Key facts
highlight essential information * Progress check questions test
your learning * Model GCSE answers show how examiners are looking
for * Exam questions provide crucial exam practice
- Includes very basic science facts for early elementary
readers.
- Simple language patterns help emergent readers master the
text.
- Format includes large color photographs, easy-to-read font, and
simple interior design.
- Photographs are directly related to the text.
- Includes index and a word list.
Grades K-4 National Science Standards
- Science As Inquiry: I
- Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
- Form questions about objects, organisms, and events in the
environment
- Conduct investigations
- Physical Science: II
- Properties of objects and materials
- Materials can exist in different states--solid, liquid, and gas.
Some common materials, such as water, can be changed from one state
to another by heating or cooling.
Be a SCIENCE MAKER by experimenting, tinkering and building to discover the wonders of science! Learn all about SOUND by following in the footsteps of famous scientists, artists and inventors.
- Transform your voice into beautiful patterns like singer Megan Watts Hughes
- Create sci-fi sound effects like composer Delia Derbyshire
- Catch intruders with Augustus Russell Pope's pressure mat alarm, and much more!
Each title in this series contains ten 'makes', prompted by featured profiles of great scientists, artists and engineers. Children will learn about and create the experiments and builds that have led to world-changing discoveries, amazing machines and inspiring artworks. Perfect for KS2 science and technology classes aged 9 and up.

Science is changing and OCR Gateway GCSE (9-1) Physics for Combined
Science from Collins has been developed to embed the skills your
students need to succeed in all three assessment objectives, while
providing a clear and supportive route through the new, more
challenging GCSE content. * Each spread starts with language and
ideas at a lower level and increases in complexity, engaging
students of all ability levels * Key concept spreads highlight
knowledge that students must grasp before they can move on *
Dedicated pages on analysing, interpreting and evaluating
practicals, so students are fully prepared for the indirect
assessment. * Maths activities at the appropriate level are
embedded throughout, along with Maths skills pages that focus on
developing the skills needed for each topic * Prepare students for
the demands of the new specification with differentiated questions,
worked examples and lots of opportunities to practice * Co-teach
both Foundation and Higher tier with a single book (the Higher-only
content is clearly flagged).
Spark your interest in circuitry! Get ready to be amazed with this
electrifying combination of five circuit games to build from
scratch. Use actual electronic components to construct a DIY
operation game, compete with friends in a Space Loop race, assemble
a quiz show board, and more. A step-by-step book of instructions
teaches you how to be a maker by adding wires, LEDs, and buzzers
for super-charged fun. Includes: AA battery holders, Popsicle
stick, 2 blue LEDs, 3 white LEDs, Paper clip, Craft wire, Coated
wire, Copper brads, 2 buzzers, Paper craft game pieces, Metal
tweezers
This series uses cartoon style illustrations and humorous narrative
text to make key topics in science and geography both accessible
and engaging. This approach encourages children to read about and
understand complex ideas. This is the story of how electrical
energy is generated in a power station, how it travels through
pylons, power cables and wires until it reaches towns and homes. We
learn how electrical current is created and how it is made safe.
This title also contains an experiment, more great facts to know,
useful websites and an index.
This book provides a detailed model of both the discourse and
knowledge of physics and offers insights toward developing pedagogy
that improves how physics is taught and learned. Building on a rich
history of applying a Systemic Functional Linguistics approach to
scientific discourse, the book uses an SFL framework, here extended
to encompass the more recently developed Systemic Functional
Multimodal Discourse Analysis approach, to explore the field's
multimodal nature and offer detailed descriptions of three of its
key semiotic resources - language, image, and mathematics. To
complement the book's SFL underpinnings, Doran draws on the
sociological framework of Legitimation Code Theory, which offers
tools for understanding the principles of how knowledge is
developed and valued, to explore the manifestation of knowledge in
physics specifically and its relationship with discourse. Through
its detailed descriptions of the key semiotic resources and its
analysis of the knowledge structure of physics, this book is an
invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers in
multimodality, discourse analysis, educational linguistics, and
science education.

Welcome to the world of infographics! This exciting form of data
visualisation uses icons, pictograms and graphics to present
information in a whole new way. Read about how gravity keeps the
planets orbiting the Sun, find out how machines make life easier,
and discover how magnets work - all visualised in beautifully
designed infographics! Ideal for children of 9+, and fact and
science geeks of all ages, finding out about forces has never been
more exciting!
A study of the properties and uses of paper, for children between
the ages of five and seven. It features colour photographs of
children involved in activities to make them more accessible. The
content supports schemes of work for science at Key Stage 1, and
there are pages of notes for parents and teachers with information
about scientific principles. The volume is part of a series in
which children are encouraged to ask questions about what different
materials are like, formulate ideas about how a material might
behave, and test out these ideas for themselves. There is an index
of key words and ideas.
