BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Testing Materials Teacher Edition
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY-In this module, students investigate the materials from which objects are made. They discover that all materials have properties, such as color, hardness, transparency, and absorbency, and that people select a material for a certain purpose according to the properties of the material. Students compare materials in terms of their response to puffs of air and water. They compare structures that are made of different materials and explain why certain structures are made of specific materials.

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Investigating Plants Teacher Edition
LIFE SCIENCE-In this module, the students plant bean seeds in plastic bag "greenhouses" and observe the growth of the bean plants. In doing so, they learn about the needs of plants and seeds as living organisms and explore what happens if a plant's needs are not met. The students practice the skills of inquiry by setting up and monitoring investigations of their bean plants and develop skills such as observing, recording, measuring, comparing, and analyzing. Students keep journals of plant growth and development and learn about the structu

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Investigating Position And Motion Teacher Edition
PHYSICAL SCIENCE-In this module, the students learn about "relative position" and motion of objects. They learn how to describe accurately the position of an object relative to themselves and to another reference object by using terms, such as "in front of," "to the left of," "in back of," "to the right of," and by measuring distances from one object to another. They represent the position of objects on self-made maps and relate their maps to those of city streets and of stores in the shopping mall. They learn that objects move in many dif

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Investigating Properties Student Guide
PHYSICAL SCIENCE-Students use their senses to observe and describe the properties of objects and the materials from which the objects are made. They sort and classify objects according to their properties and explain their classification systems. The module introduces simple tools of science, such as rulers, magnifiers, and balances so that students can describe the properties of objects more precisely.
BSCS Science Tracks includes a comprehensive S

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Investigating Weather Systems Student Guide
EARTH & SPACE SCIENCE-In this module, students investigate weather by exploring the atmospheric systems and interactions that result in "weather." They begin by exploring the angle of sunlight that hits Earth's surface and relating differential heating to changes in weather conditions around the world. Students explore weather systems by observing, measuring, and recording local conditions. They use tools such as thermometers, rain gauges, and barometers to collect data. With that data, students identify and describe weather patterns a

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Designing Structures Teacher Edition
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY-This module places emphasis on the processes of technological design as students investigate the size, shape, and strength of various structures. Students determine what shapes make a structure strong and steady and identify the design elements of structures they find in their local environment. In this way, students learn that changing the shape of a material can affect its strength and that joining materials together in certain ways does so as well.

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Designing Sound Systems Teacher Edition
SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY-This module allows students to explore various sound systems in "sound centers." In the centers, they make and compare sounds by striking, plucking, and blowing through objects. They describe and record their explanations of how the systems produce sounds. They search for sounds at home and in the neighborhood and describe and compare how those sounds are produced. In later lessons, the students investigate ways to change pitch and volume by changing something in a sound system. They develop a musical system using
