Chemistry Matters!
From atoms to elements, the Periodic Table to states of matter, this introduction to chemistry delivers basic information through two-page spreads, large full-color photographs, clearly annotated illustrations, sidebars, glossaries, and a set index.
Matter and Material by
We hardly ever think about matter. But ask yourself a basic question: what makes up the world around us? Matter, of course! Readers will explore the different types of matter, observe how matter can change, and examine the building blocks of our universe.

The Instructional Leader's Guide to Implementing K-8 Science Practices by
An accessible, engaging primer on the eight science practices at the heart of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), providing K-8 instructional leaders with the grounding they need to ensure excellent science instruction in every classroom. The NGSS reconceptualize science instruction by redefining the teacher as someone who helps students construct their own knowledge by "thinking like scientists" and engaging in discrete science practices. However, with STEM teachers in short supply and generalists often feeling underprepared to teach elementary and middle school science, what can instructional leaders do to ensure students get a strong start in this critical area and learn to love science? Although a content-neutral approach to supervision-one that emphasizes general pedagogical features such as student engagement, cognitive load, or classroom management-is undoubtedly beneficial, the best instructional leaders know that content-specific approaches are necessary to achieve real excellence. We therefore need to go deeper if we want to engage both teachers and students with the science practices. We need science-specific supervision. With that in mind, the authors provide vignettes and examples of the science practices in use, advice on observing science classrooms, concrete look-fors, and guidance on fostering ongoing teacher learning. They also offer a rich compendium of research- and evidence-based resources, including sample lessons, FAQs, and more than a dozen downloadable tools to facilitate classroom observation, feedback sessions, and professional development. This is an essential guide for any K-8 instructional leader who wants to empower all teachers to provide all students with rich science experiences and develop the cognitive and noncognitive skills students will need to thrive in more advanced courses, work, and society.
Environmental Science for Grades 6-12 by
Apply high-quality project-based learning strategies to create lessons and units that help students solve a variety of urgent environmental problems. Environmental science (ES) education is essential to preparing today's students for the future. We must create opportunities for hands-on investigations that explore complex environmental problems in order to find solutions and meet the challenges of our changing world. Educators looking to bring ES-focused experiences to their students can turn to technology and social-emotional learning (SEL) strategies to connect students with real-world situations and citizen science opportunities, while fostering empathy and a love for the natural world. Project-based learning (PBL), with its emphasis on inquiry and authentic challenges, can be an effective approach to teaching ES. Those new to PBL may not feel they have adequate training. Likewise, teachers who haven't taught ES may question how to incorporate it into their curriculum. This book addresses both situations, providing practical guidance for teachers, along with examples of technology-rich, learner-centered student projects addressing timely topics such as sustainability, human impact and climate change. This book: Helps teachers design learning experiences that model authentic problems and processes practiced by scientists and engineers, to prepare students for future careers in science. Addresses diversity, equity and inclusion in ES, and shares resources and strategies for addressing racial equity in ES. Introduces facilitation techniques that redefine the teacher's traditional role as one that supports increased student agency, the development of critical thinking skills and an expanded awareness of their place in the global community. Includes a chapter that focuses on applying the principles and strategies shared in the book in an online learning environment. Addresses Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) topics in environmental science and is aligned to the ISTE Standards for Educators. PBL is one of the best ways for students to explore complex processes and concepts, and this book will help teachers leverage this approach to empower students to take action toward a better future and world. Audience: 6-12 science educators, instructional coaches, preservice teachers
