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
contain 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

In autumn, a strong wind blows flower seeds high in the air and
carries them far across the land. One by one, many of the seeds are
lost -- burned by the sun, fallen into the ocean, eaten by a bird.
But some survive the long winter and, come spring, sprout into
plants, facing new dangers -- trampled by playing children, picked
as a gift for a friend. Soon only the tiniest seed remains, growing
into a giant flower and, when autumn returns, sending its own seeds
into the wind to start the process over again.

This Foundation Workbook is designed to support the development of
key literacy and numeracy skills of students in the 1-3 grade
range, as well as building confidence in answering open response
questions. The amount of scaffolded support decreases throughout
the workbook to encourage independent learning. - Summarises all
the Foundation content to be learned for each topic - Provides
plenty of practice questions - Builds confidence by showing how to
answer questions or work through calculations - Helps students to
improve their answers by focusing on use of key scientific
vocabulary, how to link key concepts, and work with graphs Each
topic opens with a bulleted summary of the key ideas, reminding
students of the key scientific vocabulary and equations they should
be able to recall. The questions begin with confidence-building,
low demand questions (multiple choice, matching, sentence
completion or closed short answer) leading to more open questions
including calculations as part of structured questions. The
questions include applying and analysing as well as recall, for
example bringing in skills used in analysing results from practical
work. Frequent support notes provide hints and tips on key
vocabulary, how to answer open response questions (for example by
writing causal explanations), strategies for decoding questions
(for example by identifying key words in the question) and how to
interpret information from tables and graphs. 'Show me' writing
frames demonstrate how to build longer answers, how to work with
equations in science and how to convert units. In later pages the
level of scaffolding is gradually reduced by removing the guided
support so that students are supported in becoming independent
learners throughout their GCSE course.
If you could have any animal's front teeth, whose would you choose?
"WHAT IF YOU HAD ANIMAL TEETH?" takes children on a fun,
informative, and imaginative journey as they explore what it would
be like if their own front teeth were replaced by those of a
different animal. Featuring a dozen animals (beaver, great white
shark, narwhal, elephant, rattlesnake, naked mole rat,
hippopotamus, crocodile, and more), this book explores how
different teeth are especially adapted for an animal's survival. At
the end of the book, children will discover why their own teeth are
just right for them. And they'll also get a friendly reminder to
take good care of their teeth, because they're the only teeth
they'll ever have. Each spread features a photograph of the animal
using its specialized teeth on the left and a humorous illustrated
image of a child using that animal's teeth on the right.
Charles Darwin published "The Origin of Species," his revolutionary
tract on evolution and the fundamental ideas involved, in 1859.
Nearly 150 years later, the theory of evolution continues to create
tension between the scientific and religious communities.
Challenges about teaching the theory of evolution in schools occur
annually all over the country. This same debate raged within Darwin
himself, and played an important part in his marriage: his wife,
Emma, was quite religious, and her faith gave Charles a lot to
think about as he worked on a theory that continues to spark
intense debates.
Deborah Heiligman's new biography of Charles Darwin is a
thought-provoking account of the man behind evolutionary theory:
how his personal life affected his work and vice versa. The end
result is an engaging exploration of history, science, and religion
for young readers.
A revised and rearranged fourth edition of our previously titled
CXC Biology. Comprehensively covering the CSEC syllabus
requirements, this full-colour edition contains carefully
controlled language to make the text accessible for a wide ability
range. Biology for CSEC includes questions throughout to test
understanding in progressive steps and reinforces new knowledge and
concepts through revision questions at the end of each chapter.
This edition also incorporates many investigations throughout the
text, almost all of which could be used for the assessment of
practical skills, and a full apparatus list which takes into
account the new guidelines on safety. A detailed contents list, a
complete glossary and a comprehensive index are also included.
TV scientist Ben Garrod presents the biggest extinction events
ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars, the
most incredible animals ever to swim, stalk, slither or walk our
planet. Whether you're 9 or 90, his unique exploration of the most
destructive, yet most creative, force in nature makes top level
science fun. Can we make the Hainan gibbon a super-survivor? It's
one of our closest living relatives and among the most endangered
animals on our planet. Can we change our role in the story of life,
from being super-careless to being super-savers and do what we can
to help our most interesting, incredible and important species from
going extinct? The future depends on us. Collect all eight books
about animals we have lost in mass extinctions caused by asteroids
or mega-volcanoes, clashing continents and climate change. * Past

Where did the caterpillar go?
It seems to have disappeared, but it hasn't. It has turned into
a butterfly! From the time a caterpillar first hatches, it eats so
fast that its skin can't keep up. It sheds its skin several times
as it grows bigger and bigger. Eventually it forms a shell around
itself called a chrysalis. Nothing seems to happen for a long time.
But then one day the chrysalis splits open, and a beautiful
butterfly emerges. What a magical metamorphosis!
