Physical Science Grades 4 6

Graphing, Scientific Instruments, Buoyancy, Barometric Pressure, Electrical Currents, Objects in Motion, Sound, Temperature, Heat, Gravity, Magnetism --Cover.

Engage young scientists in grades 4–6 and prepare them for standardized tests using Just the Facts: Physical Science. This 128-page book covers concepts including properties and phases of matter, atoms and elements, motion and force, air pressure, sound, light, heat and energy, and magnetism and electricity. It includes activities that build science vocabulary and understanding, such as crosswords, word searches, graphing, creative writing, vocabulary puzzles, and analysis. An answer key and a standards matrix are also included. This book supports National Science Education Standards and aligns with state, national, and Canadian provincial standards.

Connect students in grades 4–6 with science using Introducing Physical Science. This 128-page book helps students who struggle with the basic concepts of physical science. The activities cover topics such as graphing and interpreting graphed data, the use of scientific instruments to collect data, buoyancy, sound vibrations, temperature, gravity, and magnetism. To supplement reading, the book includes specific directions that make multisyllabic words easier to understand and pronounce. The reading exercises are perfect for use at school and home, and the book supports National Science Education Standards.

Physical Science for grades 5 to 12 is designed to aid in the review and practice of physical science topics. Physical Science covers topics such as scientific measurement, force and energy, matter, atoms and elements, magnetism, and electricity. The book includes realistic diagrams and engaging activities to support practice in all areas of physical science. The 100+ Series science books span grades 5 to 12. The activities in each book reinforce essential science skill practice in the areas of life science, physical science, and earth science. The books include engaging, grade-appropriate activities and clear thumbnail answer keys. Each book has 128 pages and 100 pages (or more) of reproducible content to help students review and reinforce essential skills in individual science topics. The series is aligned to current science standards.

Connect students in grades 4–6 with science using Physical Science: Daily Skill Builders. This 96-page book features two short, reproducible activities per page and includes enough lessons for an entire school year. It covers topics such as simple machines and alternative energy sources, understanding the behavior and uses of electricity, and framing scientific questions and recognizing scientific evidence. Activities allow for differentiated instruction and can be used as warm-ups, homework assignments, and extra practice. The book supports National Geography Standards.

Connect students in grades 5–8 with science using General Science: Daily Skill Builders. This 96-page book features two short, reproducible activities per page and includes enough lessons for an entire school year. It provides extra practice with physical, earth, space, and life science skills. Activities allow for differentiated instruction and can be used as warm-ups, homework assignments, and extra practice. The book supports National Science Education Standards.

"This book details the science of matter. It explains what forms matter can take, how and why matter goes through changes, and more"--

What student—or teacher—can resist the chance to experiment with Rocket Launchers, Sound Pipes, Drinking Birds, Dropper Poppers, and more? The 35 experiments in Using Physical Science Gadgets and Gizmos, Grades 6–8, cover topics including pressure and force, thermodynamics, energy, light and color, resonance, and buoyancy. The authors say there are three good reasons to buy this book: 1. To improve your students’ thinking skills and problem-solving abilities. 2. To get easy-to-perform experiments that engage students in the topic. 3. To make your physics lessons waaaaay more cool. The phenomenon-based learning (PBL) approach used by the authors—two Finnish teachers and a U.S. professor—is as educational as the experiments are attention-grabbing. Instead of putting the theory before the application, PBL encourages students to first experience how the gadgets work and then grow curious enough to find out why. Students engage in the activities not as a task to be completed but as exploration and discovery. The idea is to help your students go beyond simply memorizing physical science facts. Using Physical Science Gadgets and Gizmos can help them learn broader concepts, useful thinking skills, and science and engineering practices (as defined by the Next Generation Science Standards). And—thanks to those Sound Pipes and Dropper Poppers—both your students and you will have some serious fun.
