How do our bodies manage to heal wounds, build the stamina to run
marathons, and give us the energy-even while we're sleeping-to keep
us alive and functioning? Matter and Energy for Growth and Activity
prompts high school students to explore fascinating questions like
these. It takes a new approach to teaching essential ideas about
food, human body systems, matter and energy changes, and chemical
reactions. Developed by a team of scientists and science educators
and then tested in classrooms, the 14 phenomena-based lessons in
this book follow a coherent sequence. They unfold in two main
sections: (1) making sense of the matter changes involved in human
growth and (2) making sense of the energy changes involved in human
growth and activity. Matter and Energy is unique because it does
the following: Targets important ideas about changes in both
physical and biological systems within the same unit. The book
first engages students in seeing the usefulness of the ideas in
making sense of phenomena in simple physical systems. Then it shows
how to apply these ideas to make sense of related phenomena in
complex biological systems. This interdisciplinary approach
reflects the way science is practiced in the real world. Supports
all three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards.
Disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science
practices are all integrated in this unit. Emphasizes important
relationships between mathematics and science. Students interpret
data sets and graphs to provide evidence for claims. They also do
simple computations to explain puzzling phenomena-for example, why
does energy have to be added to ignite a marshmallow even though
the burning marshmallow releases lots of energy? Builds on the
middle school unit Toward High School Biology (also published by
NSTA Press). Together the two units help students deepen their
understanding of matter and energy changes in plants and animals
and the role of chemical reactions in the growth, repair, and
activity of living organisms. Matter and Energy for Growth and
Activity, Teacher Edition provides in-depth guidance and answer
keys for teachers using these experiential lessons. A set of online
resources includes interactive media, videos, and handouts. The
Student Edition has all the student handouts with teaching tips and
sample answers removed. Between both books, you have the support
you need to help your students turn abstract ideas into applicable
knowledge-a critical first step in learning.
