Seen from space, our planet looks blue. This is because almost 70 percent of Earth's surface is covered with water. Earth is the only planet with liquid water -- and therefore the only planet that can support life. All water is connected. Every raindrop, lake, underground river and glacier is part of a single global well. Water has the power to change everything -- a single splash can sprout a seed, quench a thirst, provide a habitat, generate energy and sustain life. How we treat the water in the well will affect every species on the planet, now and for years to come. One Well shows how every one of us has the power to conserve and protect our global well. One Well is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.

Secondary Science - Contemporary Issues and Practical Approaches (Hardcover, Annotated Ed): Jerry Wellington Secondary Science - Contemporary Issues and Practical Approaches (Hardcover, Annotated Ed)
Jerry Wellington
R5,532 Discovery Miles 55 320 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Science education has changed radically in recent years, both as a result of debates within the subject and because of curriculum legislation. Jerry Wellington discusses the major issues in science education today - such questions as the balance of content and process in the curriculum, the role of practical work and the nature of science as a subject. He uses this discussion to support a very practical resource for teachers in training and their mentors. The book covers every aspect of science teaching, including: planning; differentiation and special needs; assessment; practical work; problem-solving and investigations; IT in science; handling sensitive issues, such as sex education; and building on children's prior learning. Througout, Wellington's guidance is accompanied by suggestions for discussion, activities for individual and group use and annotated lists of further reading aimed at helping the reader to build up a personal apprach to the teaching of the subject. Students should also find useful the glossaries of specialist terminology at the end of each chapter, and the references to National Curriculum attainment targets at every point in the book.

Peter, Pamela and Percy in the big spill is a children's story written in rhyme and aimed at 3 – 7 year olds. The title is based on the true story of the ship 'Treasure' which sank in June 2000 just North of Cape Town and caused an oil slick that harmed thousands of sea birds. People came from far and near to help rescue the penguins in an enormous clean-up operation. In order to buy time to clean the beaches and the sea, aproximately 16000 penguins were shipped from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth by truck to swim back to CT (with some luck, because no one knew for sure what they would do, but they were counting on their strong homing instinct). The whole of South Africa tracked the progress of these 3 rescued penguins, Peter, Pamela and Percy, who were equipped with tracking devices, as they swam home.
