Take the mystery out of motion. Our resource gives you everything you need to teach young scientists about motion. Start off by learning about speed and distance. Recognize if things are standing still or in motion. Graph the velocity of students walking home from school at different speeds. Identify when a skydiver is accelerating during their jump. Follow directions to find your way using a treasure map. Find out about frequency and pitch in vibrating motion. Conduct an experiment with a bicycle wheel and office chair to learn about circular motion. Finally, identify the wavelength and amplitude on a wave. Aligned to the Next Generation State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
Give your students a kick start on learning with our Force and Motion 3-book BUNDLE. Students begin by exploring different Forces. Conduct several experiments on the force of friction and air resistance. Understand that acceleration and deceleration are examples of unbalanced forces. Next, take the mystery out of Motion. Graph the velocity of students walking home from school at different speeds. Follow directions to find your way using a treasure map. Finally, get familiar with Simple Machines. Conduct an experiment with first-class levers to study distance and force. Find the resistance force when walking up an inclined plane. Each concept is paired with hands-on activities and experiments. Aligned to the Next Generation State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.

Science, engineering, and technology permeate nearly every facet of modern life and hold the key to solving many of humanity's most pressing current and future challenges. The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U.S. workers lack fundamental knowledge in these fields. To address the critical issues of U.S. competitiveness and to better prepare the workforce, A Framework for K-12 Science Education proposes a new approach to K-12 science education that will capture students' interest and provide them with the necessary foundational knowledge in the field. A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science. The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice. A Framework for K-12 Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.
Due to the increase in computational power and new discoveries in propagation phenomena for linear and nonlinear waves, the area of computational wave propagation has become more significant in recent years. Exploring the latest developments in the field, Effective Computational Methods for Wave Propagation presents several modern, valuable
Connect students in grades 5 and up with science using Confusing Science Terms. This 80-page book helps students differentiate between confused word pairs or triples and perplexing science terminology. The book includes terms from the areas of physical, life, earth, and space science. It encourages students to use a science vocabulary journal to construct their own meanings for confusing terms, write sentences using the terms, and create visual representations for them. Students increase their knowledge and understanding of science concepts through vocabulary building while improving science literacy. This book includes decoding activities and alternative methods of instruction, such as hands-on and small-group activities, games, and journaling, which allow for differentiated instruction. The book supports National Science Education Standards.
