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.
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.
Science Experiments by the Hundreds develops inquiry skills of
beginning researchers. Students can turn their interests into their
own original experiments. This book stresses that learning to
experiment is an important part of knowing science, as well as a
useful strategy for solving everyday problems. The new edition
includes nanotechnology experiments for every chapter. Students
will be introduced to and develop an understanding for this
revolutionary science used in many of today's products. Through
numerous experiments using materials commonly found within homes,
students learn the basic parts of an experiment, strategies for
writing safe procedures, methods for analyzing data, and effective
ways to write about and present experimental results. Practice
problems and methods of self-assessment are found throughout the
book. Science Experiments by the Hundreds is recommended for
upper-elementary advanced learners and middle school students. It
is effective in classrooms, home-schools, or informal science
settings. Review copies are available as 60-day review only.Â
