Teaching Science and Technology in the Early Years (3-7) celebrates
young children's amazing capabilities as scientists, designers and
technologists. Research-based yet practical and accessible, it
demonstrates how scientific, designing and making activities are
natural to young children, and have the potential for contributing
to all aspects of their learning. By identifying the scientific and
design-related concepts, skills and activities being developed, the
book enables the reader to make more focused diagnostic
observations of young children and plan for how they can help move
them forward in their learning. This second edition has been
thoroughly updated and features: Six new chapters providing
practical advice and examples for enhancing scientific and
technological learning through thematic approaches a new chapter
focusing on the outdoor learning environment and how this can
support science and technology new case studies of successful early
years practice, alongside examples of practical planning for
learning, and advice on documenting children's learning stories,
guidance on the role of talk, narrative, documentation and planning
in relation to early years science and technology Based on the
latest research and the first hand experience, this practical and
accessible book is essential reading for early years and primary
students on undergraduate and Masters level courses.

This third edition of the bestselling textbook Science 5-11 has
been fully updated to provide a synthesis of research and best
practice in teaching and learning that focuses on successful ways
to engage and motivate young scientists. Responding to the new
curriculum, particularly 'Working Scientifically', this edition now
includes: New sections on whole-school assessment, mentoring,
transitions and a topics-based approach. Reference to the 'big
ideas' of biology, chemistry and physics with chapters clearly
related to this new subject structure. Updated tables of
progression in each topic area and reference to cross-curricular
contexts. New self-assessment questions for teachers, the option
for higher-level thinking and further reading. An updated chapter
on subject leadership with an increasing emphasis on monitoring
progress. Bringing together research undertaken from a range of
activities in the field, this book forms a comprehensive and clear
guide, outlining the subject knowledge that a teacher needs, the
curriculum requirements and the best ways to go about teaching. A
practical guide ideal for students, trainees, mentors and other
practising teachers, the book provides information on appropriate
science topics for Key Stage 1 and 2.

What did the Founding Fathers mean when they wrote the
Constitution? What did the right to keep and bear arms or an
establishment of religion or the republican form of government mean
to the founders? Obviously, as enlightened men of the late
eighteenth century, they were familiar with a host of ideas and
concepts drawn from ancient political theory as well as
contemporary political pamphleteers. However, as our language has
evolved the precise meaning of the words of the founders has become
obscure as well as misunderstood.
To make the words and concepts used by the founders clear to
modern readers, Greene and his colleagues have gone back to the
sources known to the founders and excerpted the key passages from
these sources that bear on the language and concepts of the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights. More than eighty key words are
organized in alphabetical order, from accusation to witness. Under
each entry, passages from key sources are provided in chronological
order from as early as 1215 to December 15, 1791. Augmented by a
concordance to the Constitution and a general subject index, "The
Language of the Constitution" provides easy access to the key
concepts and ideas of the Constitution as the founders understood
them. This volume is invaluable for students and legal
professionals, including lawyers, legislators, and judges of the
state courts (which are now interpreting the federal constitution),
as well as the federal courts. It is an essential acquisition for
public, school, university, and law school libraries.
Tim's older brother, Sam, has joined the Patriot army, even though their father supports the King. The Revolutionary War is raging, and Tim knows he'll have to pick a side.

This Newbery Honor Book shows your child how a young man discovers that he has to decide what's right for himself.

The classic story of one family torn apart by the Revolutionary War
-- now with special After Words bonus features
All his life, Tim Meeker has looked up to his brother Sam. Sam's
smart and brave -- and is now a part of the American Revolution.
Not everyone in town wants to be a part of the rebellion. Most are

With the war soon raging, Tim know he'll have to make a choice --
between the Revolutionaries and the Redcoats . . . and between his
brother and his father.
Johnny promised his father, wounded while fighting for the South,
that he would take care of the family and not run off to fight.
When there's a request to take his mules and wagon on a bold
mission to supply the Rebel troops, Johnny can't resist. Then he's
captured by Cush, a runaway slave. Johnny doesn't like taking
orders from a black, but he has no choice. He's heading for prison
camp wondering what will become of his family and himself.
