Provides investigations to help physical science students work the way scientists do. First gives an introduction to the stages of argument-driven inquiry from question identification, data analysis, and argument development and evaluation to double-blind peer review and report revision. Then presents a series of 22 field-tested labs designed to be much more authentic for instruction than traditional laboratory activities. The labs cover four core ideas in physical science: matter, motion and forces, energy, and waves. Students dig into important content and learn scientific practices as they figure out everything from how thermal energy works to what could make an action figure jump higher. The authors designed the book with easy-to-use reproducible student pages, teacher notes, and checkout questions. The labs also support today's standards and will help your students learn the core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and scientific practices found in the Next Generation Science Standards. In addition, the authors offer ways for students to develop the disciplinary skills outlined in the Common Core State Standards.

Length: 320 Copyright: 2012
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. Outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. It is intended to inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education. Identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which K-12 science & engineering education should be built: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific & engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical, life, and earth & space sciences, and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science.

The 32 probes in this book are designed to uncover what students know or think they know about the concept of matter and particle model of matter; properties of matter; classifying matter, chemical properties, and chemical reactions; and nuclear processes and energy. The probes will help you uncover students existing beliefs about everything from a particle model of matter to ways of describing energy. Offers field-tested teacher materials that provide the best answers along with distracters designed to reveal conceptual misunderstandings that students commonly hold.

Host, Bob McDonald compares the life cycle of stars to recycling waste products, explaining that when a star looses its battle with gravity it provides the seeds for new stars and planets. The space debris produced by dying stars produces the nebulae that can be observed through space telescopes. Next, he investigates the chemical components of stars and star debris. Visiting a large array of radio telescopes, he interviews a scientist who explains how space photographs are correlated to provide images of the life cycles of stars. Views the constellation, Orion, to observe a nebulae in action. Demonstrates the principle of the Interstellar Ramjet, and the force of shock waves produced by an exploding star. An astronomer predicts what will happen when the Sun becomes a nebulae. Nebulae. Supernovae. Birth and death of a star.
