A series of workbooks offering integrated content and language
support for specific subjects. Breakthrough to CLIL for Physics,
Age 14+ helps ESL/EAL students get the most out of their studies
when learning subjects through the medium of English. The workbook
contains exercises set within the context of core topics to
consolidate understanding, embedding practice in aspects of
language central to the subject in question. It is designed to
support any Physics curriculum for students aged 14-16, including
UK GCSE, Cambridge IGCSE and IB MYP. The book should be used
alongside a core textbook as well as classroom instruction, and may
be used within the classroom or as a self-study or homework
resource.
This book is written for students and other interested readers as a
look inside the diverse range of applications for physics outside
of the scientific research environment. This first volume covers
several different areas of the arts and design ranging from stage
lighting to sculpting. The author has interviewed experts in each
area to explain how physics and technology impact their work. These
are all useful examples of how physics encountered in taught
courses relates to the real world.
Over the years, people have looked for ways to improve our
imperfect sight. This has led us to the world of optics, which is
the study of light and how it travels. What are some of these
innovations that have changed how we see the world, and how do they
work? Find the answers to these questions with this Smithsonian
Informational Text! Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian
Institution, this text builds students' reading skills while
engaging their curiosity about STEAM topics through real-world
examples. It features a hands-on STEAM challenge that guides
students through every step of the engineering design process and
is perfect for makerspace activities. It makes STEAM career
connections by providing a glimpse into the lives of real-life
Smithsonian employees currently working in STEAM fields. Discover
engineering innovations that solve real-world problems with this
book that touches on all aspects of STEAM: Science, Technology,
Engineering, the Arts, and Math!

7 workbooks build skills from Grade 6 and extend into Grade 8 to
help students to catch up, keep up and make expected progress in
GCSE (9-1) Science. This workbook: targets key misconceptions and
barriers to help students get back on track addresses areas of
underperformance in a systematic way, with a unique approach that
builds, develops and extends students' skills gets students ready
for the GCSE (9-1) assessments with exercises focused around
exam-style questions provides ready-to-use examples and activities
addresses an area of difficulty in each unit with a unique
approach, to develop and extend students' skills.
This is a companion textbook for an introductory course in physics.
It aims to link the theories and models that students learn in
class with practical problem-solving techniques. In other words, it
should address the common complaint that 'I understand the concepts
but I can't do the homework or tests'. The fundamentals of
introductory physics courses are addressed in simple and concise
terms, with emphasis on how the fundamental concepts and equations
should be used to solve physics problems.
Deep Learning in Introductory Physics: Exploratory Studies of
Model?Based Reasoning is concerned with the broad question of how
students learn physics in a model?centered classroom. The diverse,
creative, and sometimes unexpected ways students construct models,
and deal with intellectual conflict, provide valuable insights into
student learning and cast a new vision for physics teaching. This
book is the first publication in several years to thoroughly
address the "coherence versus fragmentation" debate in science
education, and the first to advance and explore the hypothesis that
deep science learning is regressive and revolutionary. Deep
Learning in Introductory Physics also contributes to a growing
literature on the use of history and philosophy of science to
confront difficult theoretical and practical issues in science
teaching, and addresses current international concern over the
state of science education and appropriate standards for science
teaching and learning. The book is divided into three parts. Part I
introduces the framework, agenda, and educational context of the
book. An initial study of student modeling raises a number of
questions about the nature and goals of physics education. Part II
presents the results of four exploratory case studies. These
studies reproduce the results of Part I with a more diverse sample
of students; under new conditions (a public debate, peer
discussions, and group interviews); and with new research prompts
(model?building software, bridging tasks, and elicitation
strategies). Part III significantly advances the emergent themes of
Parts I and II through historical analysis and a review of physics
education research.
