Intermediate Senior Biology/Chemistry/Physics

Integrate chemistry and art with hands-on activities and fascinating demonstrations that enable students to see and understand how the science of chemistry is involved in the creation of art. Investigate such topics as color integrated with electromagnetic radiation, atoms, and ions; paints integrated with classes of matter, specifically solutions; three-dimensional works of art integrated with organic chemistry; photography integrated with chemical equilibrium; art forgeries integrated with qualitative analysis; and more. This is a complete and sequential introduction to General Chemistry and Introductory Art topics. In this newly revised edition, the author, a retired Chemistry teacher, gives extensive and in-depth new explanations for the experiments and demonstrations, as well as expanded safety instructions to insure student safety. Grades 7-12.

Barron's E-Z Chemistry covers all important chemistry topics, from atomic structure and chemical formulas to electrochemistry and the basics of organic chemistry. Three full-length tests are included with answers fully explained, two of them modeled after the SAT Subject Area Chemistry Test. A method of diagnosing students' strengths and weaknesses by topic area is included with each test. The E-Z Series presents new, updated, and improved versions of Barron's longtime popular Easy Way books. Updated cover designs, interior layouts, and more graphic material than ever make these books ideal as self-teaching manuals. Teachers have discovered that E-Z titles also make excellent supplements to classroom textbooks. Skill levels range between senior high school and college-101 standards. All titles in the series present detailed reviews of the target subject plus short quizzes and longer tests to help students assess their learning progress.

Contents: Simple models -- Better models -- Periodicity -- Let's get together. yeah, yeah, yeah -- Balancing act -- Organic, dude.

Consists of 62 experiments that cover university-bound and advanced placement programs in North American high schools. Each experiment has been laboratory tested by students and uses readily available materials. Lab safety is stressed throughout.

Chemistry is a subject that has the power to engage and enthuse students, but also to mystify and compound them. Effective chemistry teaching requires a strong foundation of subject knowledge and the ability to transform this into teachable content which is meaningful for students. Drawing on pedagogical principles and research into the difficulties that many students have when studying chemical concepts, this essential text presents the core ideas of chemistry to support new and trainee chemistry teachers, including non-specialists. The book focuses on the foundational ideas that are fundamental to, and link topics across, the discipline of chemistry and considers how these, often complex, notions can be effectively presented to students without compromising on scientific authenticity. Chapters cover: The nature of chemistry as a science The chemistry triplet Substances and purity in chemistry The periodic table Energy in chemistry and chemical bonding Contextualising and integrating chemical knowledge Whilst there are a good many books describing chemistry, and many others that offer general pedagogic guidance on teaching science, Foundations for Teaching Chemistryprovides accounts of core chemical topics from a teaching perspective and offers new and experienced teachers support in developing their own 'chemical knowledge for teaching'.

Build unrivalled assessment potential.Fully comprehensive coverage of the 2007 syllabus at SL and HL, this user-friendly guide effectively reinforces all the key concepts and supports the highest achievement in assessment. With in-built support for the internal assessment, it will build confident and cement understanding.

The author promises that students who conduct the labs in Take-Home Chemistry, as supplements to classroom instruction, will enhance higher-level thinking, improve process skills, and raise high-stakes test scores. Take-Home Chemistry is a useful tool for improving how students learn chemistry.

Produced in association with the ASE, the series provides new ideas and promotes best practice to enhance teaching skills, supporting everyone from NQTs to experienced science teachers. - Provide tips on how to pitch your lessons to build on students' previous knowledge. - Suggest teaching sequences with activities to cover the basic science and to develop the students' understanding of the topic. - Offer guidance on students' misconceptions, common problems with individual activities and safety issues. - Include examples that relate science to everyday contexts and provide new ideas for experienced teachers. - Recommend ways of using ICT in the classroom effectively. This books draw on the experience of a wide range of teachers and those involved in science education. It has been produced as part of the Association for Science Education's commitment to supporting science teachers by disseminating best practice and new ideas to enhance teaching.

Raymond E. Barrett's Build-It-Yourself Science Laboratory is a classic book that took on an audacious task: to show young readers in the 1960s how to build a complete working science lab for chemistry, biology, and physics--and how to perform experiments with those tools. The experiments in this book are fearless and bold by today's standards--any number of the experiments might never be mentioned in a modern book for young readers! Yet, many from previous generations fondly remember how we as a society used to embrace scientific learning. This new version of Barrett's book has been updated for today's world with annotations and updates from Windell Oskay of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, including extensive notes about modern safety practices, suggestions on where to find the parts you need, and tips for building upon Barrett's ideas with modern technology. With this book, you'll be ready to take on your own scientific explorations at school, work, or home.

Physics teachers--great news! Now there's a guide to argument-driven inquiry (ADI) especially for you. Like the NSTA Press best-sellers for high school biology and chemistry, this book helps you build your students' science proficiency. It makes labs more authentic by teaching physics students to work the way scientists do--by identifying questions, developing models, collecting and analysing data, generating arguments, and critiquing and revising reports. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 1 focuses on mechanics and has two parts. The first part describes the ADI instructional model and the components of ADI lab investigations. The second part provides 23 field-tested labs covering a wide variety of topics related to forces and interactions, energy, work, and power. Some investigations are introductory labs that expose students to new content; others are application labs to help students try out a theory, law, or unifying concept. All are easy to use, thanks to teacher notes, student handouts, and checkout questions, and all align with the Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core State Standards. You'll find this book to be a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations that will take the intimidation out of using ADI in physics instruction.

Bite-sized essays and zany cartoons about the sizes of things in the universe--how big, how far, how fast, how hot.

Teaches physics from the fundamentals up, using an original, step-by-step approach that allows readers to learn at their own pace and assess their progress with exercises at all levels of difficulty.--WorldCat.
