Books with title Physical Science

Forces: Physical Science for Kids from the Picture Book Science series gets kids excited about science!"Forces, despite its down-to-earth scientific grounding, manages to do the nearly impossible. Diehn brings gravity, magnetism, push-pull forces, and friction to life in everyday contexts, without a hint of schoolroom jargon." - Booklist (Starred Review) What keeps us stuck on the ground? What makes magnets come together? What makes one team win during a game of tug of war? Forces! Our world operates the way it does because of forces. Gravity, magnetism, pulling and pushing forces, and friction are some of the many forces that affect the way we move on Earth. In Forces: Physical Science for Kids, kids ages 5 to 8 are encouraged to observe and consider the different forces they encounter on a daily basis. By recognizing this basic physics concept and identifying the different ways it is demonstrated in real life, kids develop a fundamental understanding of physical science and are impressed with the idea that science is a constant part of our lives and not limited to classrooms and laboratories. Simple vocabulary, detailed illustrations, easy science experiments, and a glossary all support exciting learning for kids ages 5 to 8. Perfect for beginner readers or as a read aloud nonfiction picture book! Part of a set of four books in a series called Picture Book Science that tackles different kinds of physical science (waves, forces, energy, and matter), Forces: Physical Science for Kids pairs beautiful illustrations with simple observations and explanations. Quick STEM activities such as rubbing surfaces together to produce heat and testing the properties of magnets help readers cross the bridge from conceptual to experiential learning and provide a foundation of knowledge that will prove invaluable as kids progress in their science education Perfect for children who love to ask, “Why?” about the world around them, Forces satisfies curiosity while encouraging student-led learning.Picture Book Science presents real-world examples of physical science and engineering topics kids find fascinating! These nonfiction picture books consist of engaging narratives paired with brightly colored, whimsical illustrations drawn by an accomplished scientist. With these books, readers ages 5 to 8 are encouraged to expand their definitions of the words “force,” “matter,” “energy,” and “wave.” Elementary-aged children are equipped to recognize basic science concepts and identify the different ways they are demonstrated in real life, while being impressed with the idea that science is a constant part of our lives and not limited to classrooms and laboratories. Titles in the series include: Waves; Forces; Matter; and Energy.

Kids love looking at images. Adults do too. Maybe that’s why so many people spend hours scrolling through Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook. The team at Visual Brand Learning (VBL) understand that we are all visual learners and our retention rate is much higher if we can see what we’re learning. That’s why the VBL team created visual brand learning books and tools. Who’s a part of the VBL team?These visually-effective books were created by a talented team of educated professionals who have combined teaching experience in the elementary, middle school, high-school, and college levels. The team also knows how to teach to different learning styles, because they’ve worked with autistic, dyslexia, and ADD children. Some of the team members have experience working with children who speak English as a second language, too. The team’s purpose for building these learning books and tools is to enhance student retention and comprehension skills. When a student finds success in testing for the state standards, this team wins!Studying is often a time of tears and frustration, but it doesn’t have to be. In this book, your children – no matter what their difficulty – will learn about Light and Waves. This book contains 42 individual study cards to help them learn the concepts more easily. An example of some words your child will learn are light, waves, rays, reflection, electromagnetic waves, wavelength, and frequency. They’ll study the Law of Reflection, the Ray Diagram, and learn the Angle of Incidence.Most importantly, you and your child will find easy, proven strategies to learn tricky concepts by adding a visual picture along with the definition.Pick up a copy today and enjoy this illustrative style approach to a difficult topic. Help your student learn and stay confident.“I want more of these!” One parent said.This was so helpful for parents to review and not look dumb to their kids. It sums it up and teaches kids how to gather the important info, the stuff they will be tested on ... short, sweet and to the point! Just the right length for an ADD kid to study and restudy the next day, too. Perfect for teaching kids how to study effectively. It's all about repetition versus cramming it all in.

Conceptual Physical Science, 4/e takes learning physical science to a new level by combining Hewitt's leading conceptual approach with a friendly writing style, stronger integration of the sciences, more quantitative coverage, and a wealth of media resources to help readers.
