Our world is largely defined by what we see and hear-but our
uses for light and sound go far beyond simply seeing a photo or
hearing a song. A concentrated beam of light, lasers are powerful
tools used in industry, research, and medicine, as well as in
everyday electronics like DVD and CD players. Ultrasound, sound
emitted at a high frequency, helps create images of a developing
baby, cleans teeth, and much more. Light and Sound teaches how
light and sound work, how they are used in our day-to-day lives,
and how they can be used to learn about the universe at large.
Atoms are amazing. Despite being literally the tiniest things that
exist, they can dematerialize, travel through time, and make the
biggest explosions in the world. This funny book, full of
astonishing facts, includes the history of atomic science right up
to today's discoveries about quantum physics. Potato friends Russ,
Yammy and Anna Tater will act as guides to our junior nuclear
scientists - the readers!Science, technology, engineering and math
(commonly known as STEM) are everywhere around us - look carefully
and you'll see many examples. Science Everywhere! is a fun series
of books focusing on STEM concepts, and these books come with a
huge dollop of corny humour! Each book will enthrall young readers
with the laugh-out-loud antics of Yammy and Russ, who promise a
mashing good time as they dig into the world of science.

Konsepte word in eenvoudige taal verduidelik en stap-vir-stap in uitgewerkte voorbeelde gedemonstreer. Gemengde oefeninge en voorbeeld-eksamenvraestelle met memo’s berei leerders vir toetse en eksamens voor.
"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!
Physics Now! 11-14 is one of three Pupil's Books that cover the
requirements of the National Curriculum for science at Key Stage 3,
the Common Entrance Examination at 13+ syllabus and equivalent
junior science courses. Based on Physics Now! 11-14, the clear text
and colourful illustrations and photographs fully explain the
concepts and encourage background reading. Boxed sections are used
to show how scientific ideas have developed and how they are
applied in today's world. Throughout there are numerous questions
that test a range of skills including comprehension, application,
analysis and evaluation. These may be used as a basis for classwork
or homework. There are also 'For discussion' sections to encourage
group discussion. In this new edition, the Chapters have been
reorganised to reflect the QCA Scheme of Work and there is
additional information of fuses and circuit breakers, energy
transfers and transmitting electricity, the effects of gravity and
ways of measuring speed. There is also an expanded Chapter on the
Solar Sysytem. Each book has a glossary and is supported by a
Teacher's Resource Book that contains details of practical work.
"New Co-ordinated Science" is an upper secondary course widely
endorsed by teachers. These new editions maintain the same clear
presentation and straightforward approach as previously.
Information is provided in manageable chunks and is reinforced by
stimulating questions and activities that should encourage students
to consider the practical application of science to everyday life.
The breadth and depth of the new material should be enough to
stretch and stimulate even the highest achievers.
This book is intended to help students prepare their GCSE
examination in physics. It is not intended to replace a textbook
but to supplement it. It is written to help students revise and
prepare for an examination and assumes that they have completed a
GCSE course. It is suggested that if there are topics that have not
been studied the student should refer to a good textbook and
carefully read and make notes on the relevant chapter. This edition
has been updated to include new curriculum material on
environmental issues, alternative sources of energy, and scientific
investigation.

This exciting topic-based series offers early years practitioners
collections of activities based on familiar themes. The activities
can be easily implemented and readily incorporated into curriculum
planning through links made to the Foundation Stage curriculum.
Each book includes: activities that can be used on their own or as
part of a themed program ideas for enjoying an all round curriculum
approach guidance on expanding existing ideas and resources linked
ideas to be carried out at home. The activities in Water provide a
good foundation for science awareness. The theme is popular with
boys and girls and is particularly good for motivation. Because of
the no-fail activities, it's particularly useful for SEN teaching.
This text provides ideal revision opportunit ies with the inclusion
of comprehensive questions at the end of each section, along with
answers to encourage self-asses sment. '
This innovative series is designed to help teachers bring science
topics to life through imaginative creative arts activities. Each
pack includes 10 laminated, double-sided cards, printed in full
color. Each card describes in detail activities that animate
aspects of science topics using art, drama and dance. Ideal for
whole class or small group sessions, the packs are an inspiration
for busy teachers looking for new ways to approach project work at
Key Stage 2 - and can also easily be used with Key Stage 1 classes.
Activities in this pack, focusing on aspects of art and science,
explore the properties of a range of materials, including
paper-modeling and testing for strength; clay - exploring what clay
will do; wool - working from the fleece; spinning; making yarn;
wood - printing with wood offcuts; and metal - demonstrating pewter
casting.
