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.

Insights: Grades 2-3 Liquids Student Science Notebook
Students explore the unique characteristics of liquids, compare different liquids, and examine how solids and liquids interact with each other. They discover how three liquids--corn syrup, oil, and water--behave when mixed. Students then investigate floating and sinking and some of the variables that affect how solid objects behave in liquids of different densities.

Insights: Grades 4-5 Bones & Skeletons Student Science Notebook
At the start of this module, students are given a mysterious gray object: an owl pellet. They examine it and find many small bones inside. Three questions, "What are bones?", "Whose bones are they?", and "Where do they come from?" focus the investigations.
Learning experiences that explore human bone groups, teeth, and joints, as well as the skeletons of other animals help students develop an understanding of bone structure and its relationship to function.

Insights: Grades 4-5 Changes of State Student Science Notebook
In this module, students develop a basis for understanding factors that influence the changes of state of different types of matter. They begin by looking at ice and how it melts. They continue by exploring the evaporation, condensation, freezing, and sublimation of water. They clean water by distilling, and they make their own "mini-freezers."

Insights: Grades K-1 Myself & Others Student Science Notebook
Children look at themselves and their classmates and explore similarities and differences in such characteristics as height, eye color, and hand size. They become aware of how they are similar to those children they may see as different because of a physical characteristic (such as skin color) and how they are different from those children they may otherwise see as similar
This module helps to create a positive, supportive atmosphere in which children can
