Learn why plants bend toward the light; learn what a hypothesis is and how to test it and learn what type of scientist studies plants.

The pull of gravity and the movement of Earth are just two examples of how force and motion affect every second of our lives. Help your readers explore the laws of motion and much more. Models relating to the physics of magnets, jumping on the moon, and why it's a good idea to wear a helmet while biking are some of this book's activities that leverage experiential learning to foster concept mastery.

How does water change form? What is the relationship among pure substances, mixtures, and compounds? How do models help scientists understand the physical world? These are just a few of the questions addressed in this science experiment guidebook. From particle theory to forming a hypothesis, readers are guided through activities that make complicated concepts easy to understand and remember.

As climate change intensifies, it has become more important than ever for students to learn about weather systems and weather patterns. Provide your students with step-by-step instructions for creating models that demonstrate how greenhouse gases get trapped, the importance of the water cycle, and the methods experts use to make weather predictions. Readers are encouraged to refine their models, ask key questions, and synthesize what they've learned....
