Book Description
Get children excited about science with this essential, encyclopedic introduction to physics, chemistry, and biology. What makes a firework bang? How do plants use sunlight to make food? What is the mysterious force that makes a magnet cling to your refrigerator? With astonishing images, simple graphics, and crystal-clear text Science a children's encyclopedia will explain the answers to all these questions, and many, many more. Find out how chemistry begins with matter - the stuff we and our world are all made of - and the building blocks of atoms, so super-small there are about one million, million atoms on the dot of this "i". The science of physics explains forces, energy, light, electricity, and magnetism. Forces are the hidden power behind everything on Earth, and the Universe beyond. It's the force of gravity that keeps you stuck on Earth's surface, so it's pretty important to understand. Biology is all about how living things work, from tiny germs, to giant trees, to you! Did you know your amazing body has more than 1,000 parts, including bones, muscles and other organs? Packed with the essential information that every curious child needs to understand how our extraordinary world works, Science a children's encyclopedia should be in every family library.

Book Description
Children arrive in their science classrooms with their own ideas and interpretations of the phenomena they are to study even when they have received no systematic instruction in these subjects whatsoever. These ideas and interpretations are a natural result of everyday experience - of practical physical activities, of talking with other people, and of the media. This book documents and explores the ideas of school students (aged 10-16) about a range of natural phenomena such as light, heat, force and motion, the structure of matter and electricity. It also examines how students' conceptions change and develop with teaching. The editors have brought together science educators who come from different parts of the work but whose work is focused on the same determination to bring insight into the conceptual world of children in science classrooms - insight which will be helpful in making science teaching and learning more rewarding for teachers and children alike.

Book Description
Using many examples drawn from classroom practice, this guide supports and aims to extend the student teacher's own subject knowledge and understanding of science in the context of the primary classroom. It offers an accessible guide to all the main concepts of Key Stages one and two science teaching. Illustrating the importance of issues such as resourcing and assessing science in the primary classroom, the book offers guidance for practicing teachers who consider themselves "non-specialists" in science.

Book Description
Science education in the early years is vital in assisting young children to come to know about and understand the world around them. Science in Early Childhood covers the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of teaching science in early childhood settings in way that is engaging and accessible. It is a comprehensive resource for students, as well as early childhood teachers and carers and provides up-to-date coverage of the Early Years Learning Framework. This text explores the current issues and debates in early childhood science education from an Australian perspective, whilst recognising the links to international practice and research. A summary at the start of each chapter helps students identify the key themes and ideas in early science education and application boxes throughout the text illustrate how theories relate to practice. Written by experts in the field, Science in Early Childhood is essential reading for pre-service teachers.

Book Description
Did you know that the atmosphere is made up of different layers? In fact, this layer is a huge part of our planet, supporting all life forms. And, you might not know, the atmosphere also plays a vital role in determining the weather! The following facts will help you better understand this fascinating element. But, before you can get started with these fascinating facts, here are a few things you should know about the atmospheric layers.The first layer of the atmosphere is called the troposphere, which is about 500-800 km high. It is a dense environment with a large number of gas molecules and dust pbooks, and can reach temperatures of 1700 degrees Celsius. In fact, the atmosphere's composition changes over the course of millions of years, and there are currently several different layers. Learn about the different layers of our atmosphere and how they influence our daily lives.The atmosphere contains a wide range of gases, but two of them are the most important. Oxygen and nitrogen are the most abundant gases in the atmosphere, while other gases are present in trace amounts. The different layers of the atmosphere have different temperatures and densities, and they play a critical role in keeping our world cool. And remember, there are five different layers to the atmosphere. The thickness and density of the layers vary and affect the way our planet experiences weather.
