The features of chemistry that make it such a fascinating and
engaging subject to teach also contribute to it being a challenging
subject for many learners. Chemistry draws upon a wide range of
abstract concepts, which are embedded in a large body of
theoretical knowledge. As a science, chemistry offers ideas that
are the products of scientists' creative imaginations, and yet
which are motivated and constrained by observations of natural
phenomena. Chemistry is often discussed and taught largely in terms
of non-observable theoretical entities - such as molecules and
electrons and orbitals - which probably seem as familiar and real
to a chemistry teacher as Bunsen burners: and, yet, comprise a
realm as alien and strange to many students as some learners' own
alternative conceptions ('misconceptions') may appear to the
teacher. All chemistry teachers know that chemistry is a conceptual
subject, especially at the upper end of secondary school and at
university level, and that some students struggle to understand
many chemical ideas. This book offers a step-by-step analysis and
discussion of just why some students find chemistry difficult, by
examining the nature of chemistry concepts, and how they are
communicated and learnt. The book considers the idea of concepts
itself; draws upon case studies of how canonical chemical concepts
have developed; explores how chemical concepts become represented
in curriculum and in classroom teaching; and discusses how
conceptual learning and development occurs. This book will be
invaluable to anyone interested in teaching and learning and offers
guidance to teachers looking to make sense of, and respond to, the
challenges of teaching chemistry.
While building a soapbox racing car, a pair of friends provide an
easy-to-understand lesson in how simple machines are all around us,
making our work more efficient. Michael and Luci show readers that
a broom is a lever, nails are wedges, and a screwdriver is both a
lever and a wheel and axle. The two also prove that curious
children can be just like scientists, making observations and using
how and what questions to explore physical science principles they
encounter all the time. Michael s Racing Machine is part of the I
Wonder Why book series, written to ignite the curiosity of children
in grades K 6 while encouraging them to become avid readers. These
books explore the marvels of light, color, machines, sound, and
other phenomena related to physical science. Included in each
volume is a Parent/Teacher Handbook with coordinating activities.
The I Wonder Why series is written by an award-winning science
educator and published by NSTA Kids, a division of NSTA Press.
This new edition of Nelson English provides an integrated approach
to teaching the core literacy skills at primary level;

of genres, including both fiction and non-fiction. The programme
provides embedded assessment support and regular opportunities to
practise and consolidate learning.
Democratic evaluation brings a way of thinking about evaluation's
role in society and in particular, its role in strengthening social
justice. Yet the reality of applying it, and what happens when it
is applied particularly outside the West, is unclear. Set in South
Africa, a newly formed democracy in Southern Africa, the book
affords an in-depth journey that immerses a reader into the
realities of evaluation and its relation to democracy. The book
starts with the broader introductory chapters that set the scene
for more detailed ones which bring thorough insights into national
government, local government, and civil societies' experience of
evaluation, democratic evaluation and their understanding of how it
contributes to strengthening democracy (or not). A teaching case,
the book concludes by providing guiding questions that encourage
reflection, discussion and learning that ultimately aims to inform
practice and theory.
Puzzle Me the Right Answer to that One offers the content of AP
English classes. This book intends to serve as a guide and
encouragement to educators by showing what can be possible when a
teacher enjoys the freedom to find their own voice. Poems, novels,
short stories, essays, and plays become the means to have
conversations with young people about love and life, peace and war,
virtue and vice, joy and grief. The author/teacher describes
creating an environment and curriculum where students could greatly
improve their writing skills. He explains the rationale for his
presentations and literary selections. Even those who missed a
thoughtful introduction to literature the first time around may
find a useful beginning in what's presented here. Seeking to engage
in the ongoing educational debate in the US, the writer
demonstrates how the material presented in these courses can
contribute to students' genuine artistic and literary education.
These volumes suggest that such reading and writing prepare young
people to be good citizens in a democracy. *offers curriculum for
AP English classes *explains how to present challenging material to
high school students *presents a method to increase students'
writing skills *useful as an introduction to literature (for those
who missed it) *stresses the value of a humanistic approach to
literature *argues against Common Core Curriculum homogenization

environments. Featuring extensive coverage of relevant topics
including object maps, verbal maps, and spatial maps, this
publication is ideal for educators, academicians, students,
professionals, and researchers interested in discovering new
perspectives on the impact of concept mapping in educational
settings.
