Using Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 4 Teacher’s Manual makes it easy for teachers to help students get the most out of the hands-on, real science experiments presented in Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 4 Laboratory Notebook. Instructions are provided for guiding students through the experimental process, and guided inquiry questions are suggested to help students think critically about the experiments they are performing. Inexpensive common household items and foods are used for most of the experiments, and a list of materials needed for each experiment is included. This Teacher’s Manual accompanies Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 4 Laboratory Notebook and Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 4 Student Textbook. Other supplemental materials are available at www.realscience4kids.com. 82 pages

The Teacher's Manual provides additional information about and answers to the laboratory experiments and review sections in the Physics Level I Laboratory Workbook. Concepts covered by the experiments include: physical laws; force, energy, and work; potential and kinetic energy; inertia, friction, and momentum; the energy of atoms and molecules; electrical energy; magnets; and conservation of energy. A materials list for each experiment is included. Physics Level I is geared toward grades 4-6.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. "These deceptively simple lines from the title poem of this collection suggest Robert Frost at his most representative: the language is simple, clear and colloquial, yet dense with meaning and wider significance. Drawing upon everyday incidents, common situations and rural imagery, Frost fashioned poetry of great lyrical beauty and potent symbolism. Now a selection of the best of his early works is available in this volume, originally published in 1916 under the title Mountain Interval. Included are many moving and expressive poems: "An Old Man's Winter Night," "In the Home Stretch," "Meeting and Passing," "Putting In the Seed," "A Time to Talk," "The Hill Wife," "The Exposed Nest," "The Sound of Trees" and more. All are reprinted here complete and unabridged. Includes a selection from the Common Core State Standards Initiative: "The Road Not Taken."

The Astronomy Pre-Level I Laboratory Workbook includes ten hands-on experiments that incorporate the astronomy concepts found in the student text. The experiments are designed to help students learn to make good observations, which is an essential skill for science. Students will observe the moon, make a telescope, view the stars and the Milky Way Galaxy, make models of the planets and a comet, and more. The experiments are teacher directed and require the Astronomy Pre-Level I Teacher's Manual.
