Active Physics® and Active Chemistry" are two proven programs that have been combined to form a core physical science course. Nine physics chapters chosen from the CoreSelect text, plus three Active Chemistry chapters create the first and only project-based inquiry physical science program. Coverage of all the physics and chemistry principles required for meeting state frameworks; A proven guided inquiry-based project course that works with students of all learning levels; An instructional approach that engages all students to buy in to the learning of physics and chemistry. - Publisher.
This book provides an approach to physical science instruction in a way that is interesting and engaging to students featuring author-created action sports videos and classroom activities focused on physical science concepts.
Reading Essentials, student edition provides an interactive reading experience to improve student comprehension of science content. It makes lesson content more accessible to struggling students and supports goals for differentiated instruction. Students can highlight text and take notes right in the book!
Based on the Cornell note-taking format, this resource incorporates writing into the learning process. Directly linked to the student text, this notebook provides a systematic approach to learning science by encouraging students to engage by summarizing and synthesizing abstract concepts in their own words
Glencoe Physical Science provides students with accurate and comprehensive content coverage of the three fundamental science disciplines. The concepts covered are explained in a clear, concise manner that can be easily understood by students. This strong content coverage is integrated with a wide range of hands-on experiences, critical-thinking opportunities, real-world applications, and connections to other sciences and non-science areas of the curriculum.

This should be the last course a student takes before high school biology. Typically, we recommend that the student take this course during the same year that he or she is taking prealgebra. Exploring Creation With Physical Science provides a detailed introduction to the physical environment and some of the basic laws that make it work. The fairly broad scope of the book provides the student with a good understanding of the earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. It also covers details on weather, motion, Newton's Laws, gravity, the solar system, atomic structure, radiation, nuclear reactions, stars, and galaxies. The second edition of our physical science course has several features that enhance the value of the course: * There is more color in this edition as compared to the previous edition, and many of the drawings that are in the first edition have been replaced by higher-quality drawings. * There are more experiments in this edition than there were in the previous one. In addition, some of the experiments that were in the previous edition have been changed to make them even more interesting and easy to perform. * Advanced students who have the time and the ability for additional learning are directed to online resources that give them access to advanced subject matter. * To aid the student in reviewing the course as a whole, there is an appendix that contains questions which cover the entire course. The solutions and tests manual has the answers to those questions. Because of the differences between the first and second editions, students in a group setting cannot use both. They must all have the same edition. A further description of the changes made to our second edition courses can be found in the sidebar on page 32.
