From sandy beaches to rocky cliffs, the place where the land meets the sea is an amazing habitat. While exploring at the shore or reading at home, children ages 7 and up will be astonished by the richness and variety of creatures at the waters edge. Beautifully illustrated, with a picture reference and glossary, Seashore is just one volume from the critically acclaimed One Small Square series of hands-on science books, now available in paperback.

This book presents innovations in teaching and learning science, novel approaches to science curriculum, cultural and contextual factors in promoting science education and improving the standard and achievement of students in East Asian countries. The authors in this book discuss education reform and science curriculum changes and promotion of science and STEM education, parental roles and involvement in children's education, teacher preparation and professional development and research in science education in the context of international benchmarking tests to measure the knowledge of mathematics and science such as the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and achievement in science, mathematics and reading like Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Among the high achieving countries, the performance of the students in East Asian countries such as Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and China (Shanghai) are notable. This book investigates the reasons why students from East Asian countries consistently claim the top places in each and every cycle of those study. It brings together prominent science educators and researchers from East Asia to share their experience and findings, reflection and vision on emerging trends, pedagogical innovations and research-informed practices in science education in the region. It provides insights into effective educational strategies and development of science education to international readers.

This easy-to-use course helps learners to master essential content and skills in Life Sciences. The comprehensive Learner's Book includes an expanded contents page indicating the CAPS coverage required for each strand, a mind map at the beginning of each module that gives an overview of the contents of that module, activities that help develop learners' science, knowledge and skills as well as Formal Assessment tasks to test their learning, a review at the end of each unit that provides for consolidation of learning, case studies that link science to real-life situations and present balanced views on sensitive issues, 'Information' boxes providing interesting additional information and 'Note' boxes that bring important information to the learner's attention.

This Lab Book can sit at the heart of any Key Stage 3 science course as it builds students' practical and enquiry skills ready for GCSE, and supports teachers in providing a rich practical foundation for GCSE and beyond. The Skills Appendix is particularly helpful for teachers and students alike. - Stella Paes, Former Head of AQA Science Qualifications Linked to the AQA KS3 Syllabus and GCSE specifications, this Lab Book will help to introduce and embed the skills and terminology that are needed for students to succeed in the required practical components of their GCSE (9-1) Science course. 12 fun, inspiring KS3 practicals, fully reviewed for safety by CLEAPSS. All the instructions students will need to perform these practicals. Writing frames for students to record their results and reflect on their work. Guidance to help students build confidence in key skills such as experimental design, recording and presentation of results, and evaluation of methods and data. A selection of questions to help Key Stage 3 students prepare for GCSE-style assessment. A Practical Skills Checklist so students can track the skills they have developed. Everything students need for the 12 key practicals in one Lab Book, eliminating the need for additional photocopying or printing off other pieces of paper (such as graphs). Comprehensive teacher and technician notes to help with delivery.

This book addresses the expectations toward the science standards of various stakeholders including students, parents, teachers, administrators, higher education science and science education faculty members, politicians, governmental and professional agencies, and the business community. This book also investigates how the science standards have been translated into practice at the K-12 school district level, addressing issues around professional development, curriculum, assessment/evaluation, and accountability. The fundamental questions to be addressed are: (1) What is the response in terms of trends and patterns, of the educational system to the introduction of the national and state science standards since the late 1980's? and (2) What is the impact of the introduction of the science standards on teachers, classrooms, and students?

Developed by Professionals and Experienced Teachers from top schools across the country, the book has been divided into four sections namely Mathematical Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, Achievers section, and Model Papers. Mathematical concepts have been cleared through Solved Examples, Illustrations, and Diagrams. To enhance the problem solving skills of candidates, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) with detailed solutions have been provided in each chapter. Two Mock Test Papers have been included for practice purpose. A CD containing Study Chart for systematic preparation, Tips & Tricks to crack Maths Olympiad, Pattern of Exam, and links of Previous Years Papers is accompanied with this book. The book is recommended for various school level and competitive exams. #v&spublishers

Science education at the upper secondary level presents an extremely diverse image. In some education systems, it is possible for students to abandon the discipline altogether; in others, program specialization may involve students' being enrolled in science-intensive tracks. In the latter case, the links between secondary and higher science education tend to be strong, especially for competitive-entry, science-based programs in subjects such as engineering and biomedical sciences. In this capacity, upper secondary science may be said to have created a new academic elitism.
This edited volume adopts a comparative approach to upper secondary science as it occurs in sixteen countries, focusing on such key topics as links with basic science education, issues in assessment, and the secondary/tertiary education interface. With contributions from a wide cross-section of countries, including Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, Nigeria, and Pakistan, Issues in Upper Secondary Science Education provides an unparalleled resource for understanding upper secondary science education systems around the world.

Many foundational concepts in biology are notoriously difficult to teach. The challenge grows tougher when you add the need to align with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). This book makes your job easier by opening your mind to fresh and effective approaches for today's high school classrooms. Hard-to-Teach Biology Concepts provides an Instructional Planning Framework that helps you understand students' learning needs, incorporate appropriate teaching strategies, and interpret the framework and teaching tools through the lens of NGSS. Contributing authors show how they use the framework to teach four NGSS disciplinary core ideas: growth and development of organisms, ecosystems, heredity, and biological evolution. Although the teaching models are specific and illuminating, the book doesn't dictate what's right for you. Veteran teachers and those new to the classroom can use the framework to develop students' conceptual understanding based on what works best for student and teacher.
