This volume of the World of Science Education gathers contributions from Latin American science education researchers covering a variety of topics that will be of interest to educators and researchers all around the world. The volume provides an overview of research in Latin America, and most of the chapters report findings from studies seldom available for Anglophone readers. They bring new perspectives, thus, to topics such as science teaching and learning; discourse analysis and argumentation in science education; history, philosophy and sociology of science in science teaching; and science education in non-formal settings. As the Latin American academic communities devoted to science education have been thriving for the last four decades, the volume brings an opportunity for researchers from other regions to get acquainted with the developments of their educational research. This will bring contributions to scholarly production in science education as well as to teacher education and teaching proposals to be implemented in the classroom.

The almost forgotten craft of shifting large weights with brains instead of engines. Beginning with practical rules for moving like "Get the Ming vase out of the Room. All the way out," and "What goes up comes down heavier." This is a fascinating description of applied physics in the real world. If you move engine blocks, concrete mooring sinkers, or nothing heavier than this book from table to lap, you'll enjoy the encouraging narrative and the precise drawings. Not everyone moves coffins with marbles or sheet steel with baseballs, but you might very well find an idea to help you move Uncle Harry's monstrous bathtub out of the basement, or a reluctant oak stump out of the yard.

Study & Master Physical Sciences Grade 12 takes a fresh and innovative look at the world around us and links science to our everyday lives.

The highly successful New Integrated Science for the Caribbean, for use in lower secondary schools, has been revised for this second edition into a two-volume course. The series maintains its integrated and practical approach to science, but has been updated to account for the latest syllabus developments. Added freshness is provided by a re-designed layout, with new photographs and illustrations. The original features retained are: - Coverage of the syllabus in units which explore the world around us giving a varied and balanced insight into it, with an emphasis on making science fun. - The overall aim that students should gain the knowledge, awareness and skills-of-application necessary for sound scientific understanding and judgement. - A practical emphasis on science as it affects our daily lives in the Caribbean, backed up by information about scientists and scientific phenomena unique to our region. Features new to this edition include: - New and revised activities and 'On your own' section. - Revised and extended summaries and questions at the end of each unit. - Three end-of-term tests to evaluate student performance during the year.

This is a companion textbook for an introductory course in physics. It aims to link the theories and models that students learn in class with practical problem-solving techniques. In other words, it should address the common complaint that 'I understand the concepts but I can't do the homework or tests'. The fundamentals of introductory physics courses are addressed in simple and concise terms, with emphasis on how the fundamental concepts and equations should be used to solve physics problems.
