Explore the galaxies! Aliens, space ships, and constellations, oh
my! Ride on a rocket ship to another galaxy with this stellar book.
With The Everything Kids' Astronomy Book, astronomers-in-training
will learn: How galaxies like the Milky Way were built. Why the
sun's surface is 20,000-50,000-degrees Fahrenheit. Why the earth
spins and how gravity works. What comets and asteroids are made of
and how they affect planets. The truth about the man in the moon.
Why Mars is so hot and what those rings around Saturn are. What
scientists think about aliens and life in outer space If you want
to build a sky-watching kit or change your room into a small
universe, this book will take you on a journey that is
out-of-this-world!
Science is unique among the disciplines since it is inherently
hands-on. However, the hands-on nature of science instruction also
makes it uniquely challenging when teaching in virtual
environments. How do we, as science teachers, deliver high-quality
experiences in an online environment that leads to age/grade-level
appropriate science content knowledge and literacy, but also
collaborative experiences in the inquiry process and the nature of
science? The expansion of online environments for education poses
logistical and pedagogical challenges for early childhood and
elementary science teachers and early learners. Despite digital
media becoming more available and ubiquitous and increases in
online spaces for teaching and learning (Killham et al., 2014; Wong
et al., 2018), PreK-12 teachers consistently report feeling
underprepared or overwhelmed by online learning environments
(Molnar et al., 2021; Seaman et al., 2018). This is coupled with
persistent challenges related to elementary teachers' lack of
confidence and low science teaching self-efficacy (Brigido,
Borrachero, Bermejo, & Mellado, 2013; Gunning & Mensah,
2011). Teaching and Learning Online: Science for Elementary Grade
Levels comprises three distinct sections: Frameworks, Teacher's
Journeys, and Lesson Plans. Each section explores the current
trends and the unique challenges facing elementary teachers and
students when teaching and learning science in online environments.
All three sections include alignment with Next Generation Science
Standards, tips and advice from the authors, online resources, and
discussion questions to foster individual reflection as well as
small group/classwide discussion. Teacher's Journeys and Lesson
Plan sections use the 5E model (Bybee et al., 2006; Duran &
Duran, 2004). Ideal for undergraduate teacher candidates, graduate
students, teacher educators, classroom teachers, parents, and
administrators, this book addresses why and how teachers use online
environments to teach science content and work with elementary
students through a research-based foundation.
Teaching science is no simple task. Science teachers must wrestle
with highly abstract and demanding concepts, ideas which have taken
humanity's greatest minds thousands of years to formulate and
refine. Communicating these great and awesome theories involves
careful forethought and planning. We need to deliver crystal clear
explanations, guide students as they develop their embryonic
knowledge and then release them to develop their thinking
independently, all the while curating and tending to their
long-term understanding as it develops over time. In Teaching
Secondary Science: A Complete Guide, Adam breaks down the complex
art of teaching science into its component parts, providing a
concrete and comprehensive set of evidence-informed steps to
nurturing brilliant science students. Adam hopes that you find this
book interesting, but his main aim is for you to find it useful.
Useful when it comes to sketching out your curriculum, useful when
preparing your explanations, useful for mapping out how you will
check student understanding and useful for all other aspects of
science teaching. This is a truly complete guide, and science
teachers of any experience will find it packed with ideas that are
new, challenging, interesting and, most importantly, useful.

Earth is made up of different types of rock. There are three main
types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. You have
probably seen all of these different rocks-you just didn't know it!
Introduce students to rocks and minerals with this science reader
that features easy-to-read text. Nonfiction text features include a
glossary, index, and detailed images to facilitate close reading
and help students connect back to the text. Aligned to state and
national standards, the book also includes a fun and engaging
science experiment to develop critical thinking and help students
practice what they have learned.
