Teachers raved when NSTA Press published Picture-Perfect Science Lessons, 3-6. They loved its lively mix of kid-magnet books, Standards-based science content, and ready-to-teach lessons that incorporate the BSCS 5E learning cycle. So what could be more perfect? More Picture-Perfect Science Lessons, K-4! This volume offers 15 new lessons that combine picture books and inquiry to develop students interest in science and reading. More Picture-Perfect Science Lessons, K-4, follows the same winning formula that made the first volume a bestseller. The lessons cover physical science, life science, and Earth and space science. They include reproducible student pages and assessments.
The sun and the planets in the solar system such as Mercury, Venus, Earth and others are part of a galaxy. There are innumerable galaxies in the universe. The heavenly bodies move, spin on account of the gravity which each body exerts. It is mind-boggling to speculate on the size or number of the stars, planets, and the distances at which they are placed. The science of cosmology has unraveled quite a few phenomena, yet what is known is a fragment of the infinite.
Other kinds of auto races don’t feature such fantastic speeds. Most races cover longer distances and are run over more complicated racecourses. Some races take place on real streets and roads. However, no matter where and under what rules a race is held, going fast is always the key to winning. In order to make a high-performance race car, the designers and builders need to know the science behind how vehicles work and move. Drivers need to use some of this science during a race.
