The Times Education Series GCSE Physics
The Times Education Series GCSE Physics by The Times The GCSE Physics CD is an invaluable resource for any student taking this subject. Superb animations are instrumental in explaining concepts, interactive exercises offer opportunity for practice, simulated lab experiments reinforce theoretical examples and mock exams help to prepare students for the final exam.
101 Science Experiments: Basic Principles Made Clear by Simple Demonstrations
Ilia Podendorf is a science teacher who encourages children to work on their own and to investigate and solve problems as scientists do. Doing experiments, like the ones outlined in this book, not only helps children develop better concepts but, incidentally, improves reading skill and the capacity to follow directions intelligently. Thus children become equipped to explore the ever-expanding world of knowledge to which science leads.
Sports Science: 40 Goal-Scoring, High-Flying, Medal-Winning Experiments for Kids
Dive headfirst into the science behind sports——and come up a winner! * Have you ever wondered if there’s a secret to stopping a soccer ball, why ice skates have metal blades, or how a boat can sail into the wind? * Would you like to learn to balance like a gymnast, how to improve your free-throw ability, or how to swim like a shark? * Are you looking for exciting ideas for your next science fair project?
When Experiments Travel: Clinical Trials and the Global Search for Human Subjects
The phenomenal growth of global pharmaceutical sales and the quest for innovation are driving an unprecedented search for human test subjects, particularly in middle- and low-income countries. Our hope for medical progress increasingly depends on the willingness of the world's poor to participate in clinical drug trials. While these experiments often provide those in need with vital and previously unattainable medical resources, the outsourcing and offshoring of trials also create new problems. In this groundbreaking book, anthropologist Adriana Petryna takes us deep into the clinical trials industry as it brings together players separated by vast economic and cultural differences.
When a puddle dries up, where does all the water go? The science matters series provides a compelling introduction to key science topics, explaining concepts in a format that encourages reading and comprehension. Each title introduces a core science topic through visual diagrams, hands-on experiments, and fascinating biographies, all engagingly written.
