Insights: Grade 6 Music to My Ears Teacher Guide
This module takes advantage of adolescents' interest in music by using it as the springboard for investigating the generation, reception, and manipulation of sound. The learning experiences address common questions about sounds: What is sound? How do we hear sound? How do sounds shape our world?
Through the use of string apparatus, homemade instruments, and models, students explore the physics of sound. Then they investigate the physiology of the ear and the unique struct

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Investigating Electrical Systems Teacher Edition
PHYSICAL SCIENCE-In the module, students work with batteries, wires, and bulbs, simple motors, and switches to learn about the flow of electricity. They create complete and incomplete circuits and explore multiple ways to get a bulb to light and a motor to run. The module also includes investigations of the ability of materials to conduct electricity or to insulate from such conduction.
BSCS Science Tracks includes a Teacher's Edition, complete with facsimile pag

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Investigating Physical And Chemical Properties Teacher Edition
PHYSICAL SCIENCE-During this module, students observe the properties of five household substances--alum, salt, cornstarch, baking soda, and talcum powder--and investigate changes in the properties of those substances as they react with water, vinegar, red cabbage juice, and iodine. Because students often think of chemical reactions as "magic," this module helps students build an understanding that chemicals undergo predictable changes that can be controlled. The students use the processes of scientific inquiry, including fair testing (cont

BSCS Science Tracks: Connecting Science And Literacy: Investigating Heat And Changes In Materials Teacher Edition
PHYSICAL SCIENCE-Students explore the changes of matter between solid and liquid and liquid and gas by investigating the changes of state of water as it melts, freezes, condenses, and evaporates. Students recognize that these changes do not occur without the addition or removal of heat. Students become aware that heat transfers from one object to another, and that this conduction can cause a change in material state. Students also become aware that not all forms of matter react the same way to heat or loss of heat. Teams of students use ev

Insights: Grades 2-3 Growing Things Student Science Notebook
This module starts with a tour of the school's neighborhood, giving students a chance to observe the variety of plants growing around them. Then, as students grow their own plants, they observe the development of germinating seeds, measure and record growth and change, and design and conduct simple experiments to explore the factors that affect plant growth.

Insights: Grades 2-3 Habitats Student Science Notebook
Students examine their own basic needs and the needs of other living things around them. They explore the school building and neighborhood to determine how these areas meet their own needs. They then study some of the small creatures they find on the school grounds and the physical factors that affect these creatures' habitats.

Insights: Grades 2-3 Sound Student Science Notebook
This module helps students become more aware of the nature of sound and the diversity and abundance of sounds around them. They begin by listening to recorded sounds. They then make their own sounds with their bodies, with drums, and with other instruments--exploring vibration, pitch and volume, and the transmission of sounds.
