Waves: Physical Science for Kids from the Picture Book Science
series gets kids excited about science! Have you ever floated on
waves in the ocean? Have you ever stood in a human wave at a
baseball game? Waves are all around us! You can find waves in a
field of wheat, in a dangling string, in a slinky, and in flags
that are blowing in the breeze. There are even invisible waves!
Sunlight and sound move in waves, and cell phones and microwaves
use waves to transmit voices and to cook food. You can hear your
mom say, "Hello," on the cell phone because of waves. Waves:
Physical Science for Kids is a fun, illustrated introduction to the
concept of waves and energy and their presence in our world. In
this nonfiction picture book, elementary school children learn to
spot all the different kinds of waves they encounter in daily life
by finding real-world science connections. Simple vocabulary,
detailed illustrations, easy science experiments, and a glossary
all support exciting learning for kids ages 5 to 8. Perfect for
beginner readers or as a read aloud nonfiction picture book! Part
of a set of four books in a series called Picture Book Science that
tackles different kinds of physical science (waves, forces, energy,
and matter), Waves: Physical Science for Kids pairs beautiful
illustrations with simple observations and explanations. Quick STEM
activities such as floating a ball in a tub of water help readers
cross the bridge from conceptual to experiential learning and
provide a foundation of knowledge that will prove invaluable as
kids progress in their science education. Perfect for children who
love to ask, "Why?" about the world around them, Waves satisfies
curiosity while encouraging student-led learning. Picture Book
Science presents real-world examples of physical science and
engineering topics kids find fascinating! These nonfiction picture
books consist of engaging narratives paired with brightly colored,
whimsical illustrations drawn by an accomplished scientist. With
these books, readers ages 5 to 8 are encouraged to expand their
definitions of the words "force," "matter," "energy," and "wave."
Elementary-aged children are equipped to recognize basic science
concepts and identify the different ways they are demonstrated in
real life, while being impressed with the idea that science is a
constant part of our lives and not limited to classrooms and
laboratories.Titles in the series include: Waves; Forces; Matter;
and Energy.
The UK's bestselling GCSE Science series is specifically tailored
for the current AQA GCSE Science (9-1) specifications. This
workbook is the perfect companion for use throughout the course,
supporting students on their journey from KS3 to success at GCSE.

Space is full of mystery. Scientists think that the planets, stars
and other space objects we see make up just 4 per cent of the
universe! Scientists studying space have a lot of choices to make.
Future space explorers will have many choices to consider too. Now
the choices are yours. Would you rather eat pre-packaged space food
or grow your own food in space? Would you rather catch a cold in
space or have space sickness? Would you rather travel to Mars or
Venus? It's your turn to pick this or that!
Exam Board: AQA Level & Subject: GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy
First teaching: September 2016 Next exams: June 2023 AQA approved
Collins AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics for Combined Science: Trilogy
Student Book revised edition has been approved by AQA. GCSE Science
is changing and AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics for Combined Science:Trilogy
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 all the required 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).
