You’ll spend your WHOLE LIFE in your body. So it’s only fair you know how it works, right?
This book will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know about the machine that is YOU. From your astonishing brain to your hard-working heart.
Get ready for the BIG questions, like:
How many muscles do you move playing Fortnight? (A twitch of a thumb on the controller uses TEN muscles)
Are chillis actually HOT? (Short answer: no. We’ve been fooled by a plant.)
How far can we sneeze? (Your sneeze droplets can reach up to eight meters – which means you could sneeze over an entire class.)
You’ll also meet people like Chevalier Jackson, who collected things that people had swallowed by accident (for science, of course). And learn about why we poo (and why it smells).
Packed with facts, history and humour, this beautifully illustrated book, from global bestselling science and history author Bill Bryson (ask your mum, he’s the one with the beard), will help you understand the secrets to our bodies and brains.
This book has everything students need to prepare effectively for
the BTEC First in Application of Science exam (Unit 8: Scientific
Skills). Each topic is clearly and colourfully summarised on a
double-page spread, followed by two pages of accessible practice
questions to test understanding of the key facts. There's also
realistic Unit 8 practice paper for final exam preparation. All the
answers are included at the back, making it ideal for independent
study and revision.
Let's do is a learner-centred series for Grades 1 7 with a
step-by-step approach that ensures full syllabus coverage. Written
by experts at this level, activities engage learners in their own
learning process in a practical way, and focus on learning through
doing.

This fascinating book gives readers an appreciation of how
biomedical research should work and how the reality is all too
often seriously flawed. Explaining the logical basis of the
different research approaches used by biomedical research
scientists and their relative merits, it will help readers to make
more realistic appraisal of media reports linking aspects of
lifestyle, environment or diet to health outcomes and thus judge
whether such claims are a real effect worthy of consideration for
behavior change or deserving of further research resources. Key
features: increases awareness of research fraud and some of the
characteristics of fraudulent science and scientific fraudsters
shows that whilst outright fraud may be uncommon, fudging of
results to help achieve statistical significance may be more
prevalent incorporates real-life case studies highlighting some of
the infamous cases of research fraud and major scientific mistakes
and the impact that they have had provides a convenient overview of
the research process in the biomedical sciences, with a focus on
research strategy rather than individual methods find supplemental
detail on the author's blog
https://drgeoffnutrition.wordpress.com/about/ By raising awareness
of the possibility that research data may have been dishonestly
generated and outlining some of the signs and symptoms that might
suggest data fabrication, Error and Fraud: The Dark Side of
Biomedical Research will help students and researchers to identify
the strengths and limitations of different research approaches and
allow them to make a realistic evaluations of their own and others'
research findings.
Physics Teaching and Learning: Challenging the Paradigm, RISE
Volume 8, focuses on research contributions challenging the basic
assumptions, ways of thinking, and practices commonly accepted in
physics education. Teaching physics involves multifaceted,
research-based, value added strategies designed to improve academic
engagement and depth of learning. In this volume, researchers,
teaching and curriculum reformers, and reform implementers discuss
a range of important issues. The volume should be considered as a
first step in thinking through what physics teaching and physics
learning might address in teacher preparation programs, in-service
professional development programs, and in classrooms. To facilitate
thinking about research-based physics teaching and learning each
chapter in the volume was organized around five common elements: 1.
A significant review of research in the issue or problem area. 2.
Themes addressed are relevant for the teaching and learning of K-16
science 3. Discussion of original research by the author(s)
addressing the major theme of the chapter. 4. Bridge gaps between
theory and practice and/or research and practice. 5. Concerns and
needs are addressed of school/community context stakeholders
including students, teachers, parents, administrators, and
community members.
