smallest starfish. God is a powerful, purposeful, personal,
unparalleled Creator.Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens tell the glory
of God. And the skies announce what his hands have
made."Indescribable displays the majesty of creation with
scientific findings, photography, and original illustrations. These
100 devotions encourage awe at God's creativity with an in-depth
look at * Space, Galaxies, Planets, and Stars* Earth, Geology,
Oceans, and Weather* Animals-from Hummingbirds to Dinosaurs* Our
Minds, Bodies, and Imaginations Each devotion features a "Be
Amazed" section with fascinating facts, hands-on activities, and a
closing prayer. Based on Louie Giglio's popular messages
"Indescribable" and "How Great Is Our God," Indescribable: 100
Devotions About God & Science will help kids discover the
incredible creation of our indescribable God.
This book explores in detail the role of laboratory work in physics
teaching and learning. Compelling recent research work is presented
on the value of experimentation in the learning process, with
description of important research-based proposals on how to achieve
improvements in both teaching and learning. The book comprises a
rigorously chosen selection of papers from a conference organized
by the International Research Group on Physics Teaching (GIREP), an
organization that promotes enhancement of the quality of physics
teaching and learning at all educational levels and in all
contexts. The topics covered are wide ranging. Examples include the
roles of open inquiry experiments and advanced lab experiments, the
value of computer modeling in physics teaching, the use of
web-based interactive video activities and smartphones in the lab,
the effectiveness of low-cost experiments, and assessment for
learning through experimentation. The presented research-based
proposals will be of interest to all who seek to improve physics
teaching and learning.

Take our latest Take-Along Guide outside at night! Planets, Moons
and Stars provides an introduction to the bodies in our solar
system. Young astronomers and explorers will learn to identify our
nine planets and how to seek out the shapes in the sky that our
ancestors saw thousands of years ago. This book includes
information on which planets and constellations you can see with
the naked eye or with binoculars, and which ones require
telescopes. Statistics, illustrations, and interesting facts are
included in each section. What are shooting stars? How has the
night sky changed over time? Which planet has the most moons? How
did Orion get its name? How old is our sun? Planets, Moons and
Stars provides a fascinating mix of science, history, and legend.
This is a perfect first book for a child interested in astronomy,
or for a family evening field trip "to the stars."

Whether you're watching a movie, bingeing on a classic TV show or
listening to your favourite song, you're probably streaming it.
Videotapes, DVDs and CDs are mostly just memories now. Streaming
puts a world of options at your fingertips when you're at home and,
with a smartphone or tablet, when you're on the go. Find out how
streaming was invented, how it works and what the future might hold
for this part of a high-tech life.
Thirteen-year-old Natalie lives a double life. By day, she's an
average eighth grader at Golden Trails Middle. At night, she's
Gnat112, a streamer for her favourite video game, Alienlord. But
when the new girl moves in next door, will Natalie's double life be
revealed? Natalie has a secret. She's a gamer. By day, Natalie is
an average eighth grade student. At night, she's Gnat112! Living a
double life is hard . . . and keeping a secret from your friends is
even harder. In this illustrated middle grade book (the first of an
all-new series, Gamer Girls), Natalie and her three BFFs learn to
navigate the gamer world together, one girl at a time. This series
is a great read for gamers and gamer enthusiasts of all kinds.
Plus, there's the occasional middle school drama . . . if only
Natalie could battle math teachers like video game aliens!
At the centre of the methodology used in this book is STEM learning
variability space that includes STEM pedagogical variability,
learners' social variability, technological variability, CS content
variability and interaction variability. To design smart
components, firstly, the STEM learning variability space is defined
for each component separately, and then model-driven approaches are
applied. The theoretical basis includes feature-based modelling and
model transformations at the top specification level and
heterogeneous meta-programming techniques at the implementation
level. Practice includes multiple case studies oriented for solving
the task prototypes, taken from the real world, by educational
robots. These case studies illustrate the process of gaining
interdisciplinary knowledge pieces identified as S-knowledge,
T-knowledge, E-knowledge, M-knowledge or integrated STEM knowledge
and evaluate smart components from the pedagogical and
technological perspectives based on data gathered from one real
teaching setting. Smart STEM-Driven Computer Science Education:
Theory, Methodology and Robot-based Practices outlines the overall
capabilities of the proposed approach and also points out the
drawbacks from the viewpoint of different actors, i.e. researchers,
designers, teachers and learners.
