Understanding Science is a series of topic-based study books for children in Key Stage 2, providing comprehensive coverage of key subject areas. Each topic contains a concise summary of the information required by the National Curriculum, together with structured practice. Each book is a stand-alone resource, so children can either work through them in order or focus on individual aspects of the subject. Together, the six books support the whole of the Key Stage 2 science curriculum, including scientific investigation, providing a solid foundation for success in science. Light, Sound & Space meets the National Curriculum requirements for Key Stage 2 science, and covers the following areas: light and sound travel, reflection, shadows, vibration, noise, pitch, volume, the Earth, Sun, Moon and solar system. This book explains the importance of light and sound and the ways in which they can be changed. Key features of Understanding Science include: an 'Explanation' to introduce each topic; activities to consolidate and revise knowledge and skills; thought-provoking facts to foster a love of learning beyond the National Curriculum; a 'Scientific investigation' table to identify and encourage scientific questioning opportunities across the series; a combined 'Index and glossary' to define key terms introduced in the text.

The questions in this book were written to support the teaching of Edexcel iGCSE. However the majority of them are also suitable for GCSE.
They are at a range of levels, from simple practice to more complex, thought-provoking challenges. The majority of problems should stretch and challenge the reader.

""Some of the questions really made my top set think."
"Great for setting prep."
"Once I'd done these I really felt ready for my iGCSE exams.""

We have all seen a rainbow in the sky. But what makes a rainbow? Learn how light and water make a rainbow! With easy-to-read text and detailed, vivid images, this science reader teaches students important scientific subjects and vocabulary terms like prism, energy, and light waves. Aligned to state and national standards, the book contains nonfiction text features like an index, a glossary, captions, and bold font to keep students connected to the text. A hands-on science experiment helps students apply what they have learned and develops critical thinking skills.

These giant books containing exciting projects and experiments take a hands-on approach to science concepts. Hundreds of simple and easy experiments explore the various scientific principles behind natural phenomena like friction, centrifugal force, and the underlying laws of physics that help make machines work. These fun yet practical experiments make it easy for anyone to become a rocket scientist Sound and light may seem like things we know everything about, but by conducting these easy to navigate science experiments using these seemingly straight-forward concepts, young learners will see that there is "much" more than meets the eye. Through these informative and easy to conduct experiments and activities, budding scientists will discover the interesting and often-changing characteristics of materials in their everyday world.

Electricity and magnetism are a huge part of our lives, and we often take these forces for granted. Before eBooks, computers, and remote control toys, though, scientists put a lot of effort into discovering how they worked, and how they could capture that energy to make our lives easier. Through their explorations, the connection and relationship between electricity and magnetism was discovered. Scientists and inventors found ways to bring electricity to the people who wanted and needed it. And, while we benefit from the discoveries that have already been made, there is always more to learn Whether you try the activities in this book as a fun unit study, as part of your homeschool science lessons, as an extra project for school or a science fair, or just to discover new things, you'll get an up-close look at electrical and magnetic forces. Enjoy the SHOCKING discoveries you make as you enjoy the PULL of science

Each book in this series examines a key utility used by the average household. This book looks at electricity, and examines what it is, how we use it, where it is made, and environmental issues arising from the ways we use electricity in our homes.

Ages 8 years & over. This series (a part of the Pegasus Encyclopaedia Library)contains the encyclopaedia based on Discoveries and Inventions, Space, Physics, Chemistry and Experiments. It is especially designed to fulfil the thirst for scientific knowledge in children.

My name is is a great resource for schoolwork. A collection of biographies about the greatest personalities of relevance with a perspective not only on history but also of their lives.

Welcome to the wonders of famed inventor Nikola Tesla, the revolutionary scientist who dazzled audiences with his cutting-edge experiments, and to whom the world of technology is forever indebted. Although his name is largely forgotten today, Tesla's greatest invention, A/C current, powers almost everything around us, from central heating, your home and office computers, to high-tech robots! Indeed, Tesla's contributions to the fields of electricity and magnetism continue to magnetize us still today.
