Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 6 Student Textbook by Rebecca W Keller Ph D

Introduce students to real science with Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 6 Student Textbook. Foundational scientific concepts and terminology are presented clearly and in a manner that's easy for kids to understand. Using this book gives kids a solid base on which to build a further study of science. This yearlong curriculum contains four chapters each of five scientific disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy, as well as an introduction to the material covered and a concluding chapter, for a total of 22 chapters. The many graphics in this full color textbook reinforce the concepts presented and make the book fun for kids and teachers alike to read. A few of the topics covered are: technology used in the scientific disciplines; acids, bases, and chemical reactions; microscopes; protists; fungi; the physics of motion; Earth's layers as a system, the geosphere, and the atmosphere; measuring time; our solar system and other solar systems; collaboration in scientific discovery. This Student Textbook is accompanied by Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 6 Laboratory Notebook (experiments) and Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 6 Teacher's Manual.

Keller, Rebecca W.: - Dr. Rebecca Woodbury Keller received her Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. While home schooling her three children, Dr. Keller was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids. The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim, states Dr. Keller. In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate. The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum, with its engaging, kid-friendly Student Textbooks; Laboratory Notebooks full of real science experiments; and easy to use Teacher's Manuals, provides kids with a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Keller and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products, including leveled readers and mini books, at the Real Science-4-Kids Albuquerque headquarters.
