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.

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.

"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!

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 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.
