This leveled text set allows students to get to the heart of the "matter" as they learn about atoms, molecules, mixtures, and more! Texts are written at four levels to differentiate instruction. Provided comprehension questions complement the texts.

Get ready to explore, uncover, and investigate physical science topics ranging from atoms to vibrations with these engaging texts. Leveled Texts for Science is designed to help all learners grasp important science concepts through high-interest science material. This book features 15 different topics, each in two-page formats that are written at four different reading levels ranging from 1.5 to 7.2 and complemented with corresponding comprehension questions. A Teacher Resource CD is included with a modifiable version of each passage plus full-color versions of the text and image files. This resource is aligned to the interdisciplinary themes from the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and supports Common Core State Standards. 144 pages + CD

Create effective text-dependent questions to increase students' understanding of text through in-depth examinations. This teacher resource enables students to study broad concepts, such as text structure and point of view, as well as analyze the overarching themes, concepts, arguments, and claims presented in texts. Written at a variety of grade level ranges, these text-dependent question stems allow teachers to differentiate content so all students can access and understand the concepts explored. Question stems can also be used to correlate to the Common Core and other state standards.

aspects of the learning process are fully supported, including the understanding of terminology, notation, mathematical concepts, and the application of physical chemistry to other branches of science." "Building on the heritage of the world-renowned Atkins' Physical Chemistry , Quanta, Matter, and Change gives a refreshing new insight into the familiar by illuminating physical chemistry from a new direction." --Book Jacket.

Prepare fifth grade students for college and career readiness with this content-packed resource. Authored by Lori Oczkus and Timothy Rasinski, this resource includes 12 units across the four content areas of language arts, science, social studies, and mathematics. Each unit incorporates close reading, paired fiction and nonfiction text passages, text-dependent questions, comparing and contrasting text, and hands-on activities to unify each week's worth of lessons. Differentiation and reciprocal teaching strategies and assessment options are also included within each unit to tailor to multiple intelligences and monitor students' progress.

A fun approach to teaching science that uses cooking to demonstrate principles of chemistry for undergraduate students who are not science majors, high school students, culinary students, and home cooks. How does an armload of groceries turn into a culinary masterpiece? In this highly accessible and informative text, Sandra C. Greer takes students into the kitchen to show how chemistry—with a dash of biology and physics—explains what happens when we cook. Chemistry for Cooks provides all the background material necessary for nonscientists to understand essential chemical processes and to see cooking as an enjoyable application of science. Greer uses a variety of practical examples, including recipes, to instruct readers on the molecular structure of food, the chemical reactions used in cooking to change the nature of food, and the essentials of nutrition and taste. She also offers kitchen hints and exercises based on the material in each chapter, plus do-it-yourself projects to encourage exploration of the chemistry that takes place when we cook food. Features Perfect for science courses aimed at non–science majors: does not require prior knowledge of chemistry, physics, or biology Equally useful for general readers, home and professional cooks, and culinary students Topics include what matter is made of, how the structure of matter is altered by heat, how we treat food in order to change its microscopic structure, why particular procedures or methods are used in the kitchen, and how to think critically about various cooking methods A reference section at the end of each chapter points readers to resources for further study Additional online resources include a solutions manual, a sample syllabus, and PowerPoint slides of all tables and figures

Marvel at the wonders of the universe, from stars and planets to black holes and nebulae, in this exploration of our solar system and beyond. Universe opens with a look at astronomy and the history of the Universe, using 3D artworks to provide a comprehensive grounding in the fundamental concepts of astronomy, including the basic techniques of practical astronomy. The core of the book is a tour of the cosmos covering the Solar System, the Milky Way, and galaxies beyond our own. Explanatory pages introduce different celestial phenomena, such as galaxies, and are followed by catalogs that profile the most interesting and important examples. A comprehensive star atlas completes the picture, with entries on each of the 88 constellations and a monthly sky guide showing the night sky as it appears throughout the year as viewed from both the northern and southern hemispheres.
