New Publication! Based on years of experience and prior publications, the NEW two-volume book, STEM RESEARCH for STUDENTS, is a vital resource for K-12 teachers, higher education faculty, and their students. In Volume One, students acquire the fundamentals and apply them to their investigations: Conduct experiments and refine the design and procedures; Construct data tables and graphs, use descriptive statistics, and make sense of an experiment; Meet a human need by designing, building, and testing a model; Communicate findings through reports and interactions with peers; Apply mathematical concepts to data including ratio and proportional relationships, geometry and measurement, algebra, and statistics. STEM Research for Students, Volume 1, is: Student friendly! Chapters contain investigations with readily available materials, explanations of major concepts, practice sets, and formative assessment tools. Use as a sequence or as individual units of study for specific content. STEM encompassing! For each core experiment, students have multiple options for making connections to various scientific disciplines, engineering, and mathematics. Teacher enhanced! Each chapter contains learning objectives and assessment tools checklists or rubrics. Answers to the practice sets are available on a secure Kendall Hunt web site. Standards aligned! All chapters are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core Standards for Mathematics and Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects, and the International Standards for Technology in Education Standards for Students. Available in print and e-Book formats, STEM Research for Students, Volume 1, may be used: As a supplemental text in upper elementary, middle, and senior high classrooms; As a core text for introductory research courses and STEM research clubs; For pre-service and in-service teachers of science, mathematics, career and technical courses, and gifted students; As a resource for all teachers involved with experiments, engineering designs, mathematical investigations, and competitive STEM projects. The companion volume, STEM Research for Students, Volume 2 enables students to build upon this strong foundation and create effective science experiments, engineering designs, and mathematical investigations.

New Publication! Based on years of experience and prior publications, the NEW two-volume book, STEM RESEARCH for STUDENTS, is a vital resource for K-12 teachers, higher education faculty, and their students. In Volume Two, students build upon a strong foundation to create original STEM projects: Brainstorm ideas for projects; Analyze and address the safety risks involved in a project; Use the library and Web to expand understanding and develop a valid idea; Conduct a group mini-project which involves readily-available materials in the classroom, on a field site, or at a community location. Use algebra to represent patterns and develop mathematical models; Use statistics to detect the significance of relationships; and Communicate project findings through formal papers, visual presentations, and interactions with peers or judges. STEM Research for Students, Volume 2 is: Student friendly! Each chapter is carefully sequenced and contains a variety of formative assessment tools. Key definitions are included in an appendix. Essential foundational knowledge from Volume 1 is clearly referenced. STEM encompassing! Students have multiple opportunities to make connections by applying information from the various chapters to original projects. Teacher enhanced! Each chapter contains learning objectives and assessment tools checklists or rubrics. Answers to the practice sets are available on a secure Kendall Hunt web site. Standards aligned! All chapters are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core Standards for Mathematics and Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects, and the International Standards for Technology in Education Standards for Students. Available in print and e-Book formats, STEM Research for Students, Volume 2, may be used: As a supplemental text in middle school, high school, and introductory college courses; As core text for research classes and STEM clubs where students are ready to engage in group or individual projects: For pre-service and in-service teachers of science, mathematics, career and technical courses, and gifted students; As a resource for all teachers involved with experiments, engineering designs, mathematical investigations, and competitive STEM projects. The companion volume, STEM Research for Students, Volume 1, is a resource for students to acquire or strengthen the foundational knowledge necessary to engage in an original project.

In 2004, as a response to widespread structural or endemic human rights violations, the European Court began to issue pilot judgments, the aim of which was not only to exert further pressure on national authorities to tackle systemic problems, but also to stop the European Court itself from being inundated with the same types of cases. Fashioned out of its own case law, and underpinned by the principle of subsidiarity, the Court has broken new ground with its pilot judgment procedure, both in terms of its diagnosis of the causes of systemic human rights violations and the extent to which it is prepared to direct States to legislate, or take other steps, to resolve them. This study - supported by the Leverhulme Trust - analyzes the principal characteristics of the pilot judgment procedure and its application in key cases. With case studies on Poland, Slovenia, and Italy, a particular focus of the work is the adequacy of the response of national authorities to pilot judgments. The book draws conclusions about the effectiveness of the procedure as a means of tackling systemic violations and makes recommendations for its further development.

King Cole is trying to eat healthy. He invites Peter Pumpkin Eater, Jill Horner, and Humpty Dumpty to dine at his castle. Will his guests find something tasty to eat at his feast? With characters from well-known nursery rhymes, this picture book puts a fun spin on classic nursery rhymes. Written in verse, this book is ideal for guided reading and builds early literacy skills.

This comedy features a group of lawyers away for an important weekend conference. Hugo Barnes desperately wants to be a High Court Judge and has organised the conference - under the title 'Clean up the Bar' - to impress the new Lord Chancellor. Hugo's friend and married colleague, Nick Willmott, has invited a young solicitors' secretary along for the weekend. This decision threatens Nick's marriage, Hugo's plans for a trouble-free conference and both their reputations. Misunderstandings, narrow escapes and attemped sexual infidelity combine with an unusual undercurrent of family reconciliation and personal discovery.
