Title: Investigations in Numbers, Data, and Space: Survey Questions and Secret Rules Grade 1
Description: Students identify and describe attributes of various objects and data that students have collected. Creating
representation of sorted objects sets as well as data surveys are a further emphasis of the unit. Students
begin by describing attributes of shapes, buttons, lids and each other and they play a variety of Guess My
Rule games. They invent their own representations to show the results of a class survey and then the results
of data they have collected. Students organize a class birthday graph that helps them figure out whose
birthday comes next. Students represent information about the ages of classmates and family members
comparing several categories of data. Their work concludes with a look at their class attendance data over a

Title: Science and Life Issues
Description: Science and Life Issues is an issue-oriented, integrated course emphasizing content and related issues in the
life sciences. The course focuses on three process-oriented components: scientific thinking, personal and
societal decision making, and science and technology as professions. The course includes units on
scientific methods and approaches to problem solving, the human body, the cellular basis of life and the
microbial causes of infectious disease, genetics, evolution, ecology, and human use of tools and ideas to
enhance survival and quality of life. Strategies for developing students' ability to design and perform
invetstigations, use evidence to make decisions, communicate scientific information, and interact within
groups are built throughout the materials.

Title: Science and Sustainability
Description: Science and Sustainability takes a fresh approach to high school environmental science. Students encounter
topics from chemistry, biology, earth science, and physics using examples that connect with their own lives
and relate to their local and global communities. Students participate in a wide range of activities,
including hands on labs, current and historical readings, role play and debats. The student book is used
alongside another core resource, the Material World, a photographic portraits of families and their homes
around the world to provide a global perspective. The activities will help students to become more
confident, competent, and independent in the design, analysis, communication, and use of issue oriented
science activities. Students will be challenged to connect the various components of the course as they
analyze risks, assess trade-offs, and make decisions that are based on scientific data.

Title: Issues Evidence and You
Description: Issues, Evidence and You is the final course of study for middle level students. With content taken
primarily from the physical sciences, the program highlights environmental issues and programs highlights
environmental issues and problems relevant to students and their communities. This approach motivates
and engages them to want to learn scienc, while supporting the content goals and objectives of most school
science programs. A major goal of the first section of the course is to build a "tool box" of critical thinking
skills, content knowledge, processes related to chemistry and the nature and practice of science. This
information is later applied in selected in depth envirnonmental case studies. Knowledge and experience
accumulates, and by the end of the course students are tackling such topics as solar energy, intergrated
waste management, and groundwater pollution.

nature of matter. In this chemistry primer, students calculate liquid densities and apply filtration and
evaporation to suspensions and solutions. They measure gas volumes and pressures to demonstrate Boyle's
law. They investigate atomic structure and learn to read the Periodic Table. With three dimensional models
and corresponding chemical equation, students explore the covalent and ionic molecular bonds of
compounds, including double bonds of fats. Then they conduct three experiments: a neutralization reaction
between bases and acids, an oxidation reaction that produces rust, and a double replacement reaction to
form a precipitate.

look, smell, and feel. Your class will operationally define concepts such as cohesion, adhesion, absorption,
density, water pressure, and evaporation. Students will examine the sizes and shapes of different drops,
design an apparatus to compare "skin" on liquids' surfaces, and predict how soap will affect surface
tension. Using balances and batons, they explore liquid density and its effect on buoyancy. To conclude,
students use litmus paper to categorize liquids as acidic, basic or neutral on a pH scale.

behavior and interaction. They experiment with magnets of various sizes and shapes, even our planet sized
magnet, to explore this invisible but observable force. Students find out which materials are attracted to
magnets and which can block the passage of nangetic force. They demonstrate magnetic fields and polarity
using iron fillings. Then they make compasses that align with the Earth's magnetic poles. They model
temporary magnetism and from a simple circuit and a steel nail create an electromagnet. A Space Shuttle
video challenges students to consider the applications of magnets in our technological society.

equation, and students discover how to calculate area in square units, and volume in cubic units. Their
mathematical work is supported by hands on activities with geoboards and centimeter cubes. With an equal
arm balance, students experiment with nonstandard weights and then with grams. They also construct
thermometers to measure the rise and fall of temperature and become familiar with scales measured in
degrees.

Title: DSM II: Newton's Toy Box
Description: In Newton's Toy Box, students experiment freely with familiar toys and objects. As they explain their
observations, they prove Newton's three laws of motion. The path of a tossed basketball, the flip of a
grasshopper toy, and the endless swing of clackers reinforce the concepts of inertia, gravity, acceleration,
mass, force, and momentum. Students engage in races, games, and challenges that emphasize the laws of
motion which governs everyday tasks and cosmic interactions. The kit includes a video of real astronauts in
space using some of the same toys. Students use the video to compare the behavior of the toys on Earth
with their behavior in microgravity environment. By dealing with scaled down applications, middle school
students master these laws and the vocabulary of physics with confidence.

Description: To make sense of the world, a child must develop the capacity to classify and sort. Because students love to
explore things with their hands, free play with kit contents is the first step in every session. Students use
their hands and eyes to classify and sort by color, size, shape, and texture. They work with balances and
other equipment to compare and contrast objects by weigh, buoyancy, magnetic attraction, and material
composition. As they practice distinguishing and grouping objects, they also build two vital vocabulary
skills: describing and explaining.

between the powders and the crystals. After comparing the substances to named samples, students apply
several tests to discover the chemical properties of each: the water test, vinegar test, iodine test, BTB test,
and heat test. Activity sheets provide detailed instructions for conducting each analysis and recording the
results. These test data help students complete the next challenges: deducing the two or three ingredients in
four Mystery Mixtures and exploring three new unknown white particle substances.

Description: By measuring force as they lift, push and pull loads your class will determine the mathematical relationship
between force and work. Students build and/or operate classroom versions of the six simple machines:
lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw. They investigate how (and how much)
each one makes work easier by magnifying, modifying, transferring, or changing the direction of the applied
force. By calculating such factors as gear ratios and the negative effects of friction, students discover the
trade off between force and distance. Students even identify and explore some household simple machines
to find out what makes simple machines simply indispensable.

Description: In Sink or Float, your students are on a mission to answer the title question. And the answer is, "It
depends." First, students discover and define buoyancy and surface tension. They use the experimental
method to find out what factors (including material, size, shape, density, and kind of liquid) affect
buoyancy, and how. Then they give their Sink or Float knowledge a practical application. They test the
capacity of vessels of various shapes, sizes and materials to arrive at an understanding of what makes a
good boat. The unit concludes with a cargo contest. Your master builders design and construct boats to see
whose can carry the most cargo--without sinking.

see and feel the vibrations that are sound waves. Next, students make ear trumpets to catch and amplify
sounds just as ears do. They experiment with echoes to see which surfaces absorb or reflect sound waves.
They even get a chance to make music. Students model percussion string and wind instruments as they
create sound by striking, plucking, and blowing. They learn to vary pitch and volume by varying string
thickness and tension. For a concluding concert, students tune an orchestra of original instruments.

identify the distinctive properties of the three common states of matter. With a variety of lab tools they
observe, explore, and measure solids, liquids, and gasses and investigate the processes by which one
changes into another. As students conduct melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation experiments,
they learn the importance of controlling variables and keeping records. To conclude the unit, the class can
celebrate it by making ice cream for a "Matter Matters" party.

evaluate behavior as a response to environmental stimuli. Students first observe how their mealworm lab
specimens move and find food. Then they design setups for discovering how mealworms react to ten
different types of condition, including light, heat, wind, water, surface, barriers, and forced turn and Tmazes. Students combine curiosity and experience to conduct original experiments that investigate their
own question. By the end of the unit, students are repeating the process with pupae and adult beetles.

metamorphosis from larva to pupa to adult. When adults emerge from chrysalis and cocoon, students study
their features and behaviors. Some may even see a new generation of larvae hatch. Students record
observations in logbooks and learn about survival adaptations--camouflage and ultra-sensitivity to odors.
The unit includes a field trip to collect and identify wild larvae, and hints for distinguishing between
butterflies and moths at every life cycle stage.

assorted fruits and vegetables. They prepare the seeds and plant them, along with kit grasses, peas, and
beans. Sprouts soon follow. Experiments with soil, water and light help students determine the optimum
growing conditions. As plants progress, students discover the functions of roots and stems. In time, they
do the same with leaves and flowers and learn how pollination drives the cycle to begin again.

imitation fossils, the backbone of dinosaur research. They try to reconstruct dinosaur skeleton models and
speculate about the animals' appearance and behavior, based on their bones. They investigate their own
dinosaur footprints, and make inferences about size, speed and stride. Using dinosaur figurines, students
become familiar with various dinosaurs' physical features, and they develop a classification system and
learn the meanings of dinosaur names.

the nucleus in every cell in their bodies. Students identify cell structures and functions, and the
chromosomes and genes that determine unique traits. Using base-pair models of double helix DNA
molecules, they explore DNA replication and DNA transcription to messenger RNA. They investigate how
and where mutations can occur, and compare human cells to bacteria and virus cells. Then the perspective
changes, and students consider some cutting edge applications of biotechnology: genetic engineering, DNA
fingerprinting, and the Human Genome Project.

They dissect mushrooms to investigate spore reproduction. Students also grow mold gardens in different
cultures to test fungicides. Many activities focus on the one celled fungi, yeast. Students observe yeast
growth, budding, and fermentation (and yeast at work in pretzel dough) while controlling food and
temperature variables. Based on the activities and research, students debate the benefits and hazards of
fungi.

help of a Scientific Key, learn to identify many species. They conduct experiments to determine insects'
environmental preferences and adaptive features, such as camouflage and mimicry. Finally, over extended
periods of time, students observe the simple metamorphosis of crickets (egg-nymph-adult) and the complete
metamorphosis of mealworms and butterflies (egg-larva-pupa-adult). To apply their knowledge of insects,
students consider how these numerous and diverse organisms, living in every environment, can be both
helpful and harmful.

Title: DSM II: Observing An Aquarium
Description: Your class will build and maintain aquariums that become, over several weeks diverse underwater
ecosystem. Students can observe food chains, populations change, and life cycles unfold. One by one,
organisms are introduced into freshwater habitats: two types of aquatic plants, tropical fish, pond snails,
algae, and tiny crustaceans called daphnia. Students examine each one to discover how it is suited to life
under water. By the time they take an end-of-unit field trip to a local pond, they are experienced observers
who will recognize meaningful similarities and differences between their classroom aquariums and the
natural environment.

Title: DSM II: Color & Light
Description: Students use prisms to investigate the full range of colors in white light, called the visible spectrum. They
experiment with subtractive color mixing and discover the significance of the primary pigments. Students
separate pigments with paper chromatography, then combine colors by blending filtered light beams.
Experiences with both subtractive and additive mixing help students understand the role of the eyes and
brain in perceiving color. That understanding is extended as students identify the dot patterns in printed
pictures and manipulate color filters to make colors disappear. Students also explore afterimages and
phantom images, turn two dimensional drawing 3-D, and demonstrate persistence of vision.

Title: DSM II: Plant and Animal Life Cycles
Description: In this research based unit, students are fully responsible for the maintenance of two populations: pea plants
and fruit flies-through their life cycles. Parallel activities with the plants and animals introduce students to
the concept of progression through developmental stages. They trace the growth of the peas from
germination to flowering plants that produce new seeds. Simultaneous, they observe fruit fly larvae become
pupae and see emerging adults lay the eggs of a new generation. They use their own charted data to
compare the life cycles of plants and animals, and analyze one plant's biotic potential versus it reproductive
activity.

Title: DSM II: Pollution
Description: Students start from the ground up, learning about litter and landfills. They sort schoolyard trash and
calculate how quickly a classroom would fill with waste paper. They practice one way to recycle, and
brainstorm others. Next, they observe particulate matter in air and consider the implications. They create a
filtration system, examine water pollutants, and try to clean an oil spill, After testing the hardness
alkalinity, and acidity of water samples, students observe the effects of acid rain. Finally, they define noise
pollution bases on opinion surveys and noise level tests.

Title: DSM II: Pond Life
Description: Classroom aquariums simulate freshwater pond ecosystems in this observation oriented ecosystem.
Students learn how, when, where to look at organisms interacting with each one another and their
environment. Just as important, they develop the ability to interpret what they see. With different
magnifying lenses, students study microscopic pond organisms in their aquariums and in a hay infusion.
Then they examine the structure and behavior of several macroscopic organisms, including the food chains
that connect them. Separate activities on snails, fish, and duckweed, help students identify their adaptive
features and responses to environmental stimuli. Finally they pose an original Pond Life question, propose
a hypothesis and experiment to find the answer.

larger but also brings details into view that the unaided eye cannot see. After observing patterns in crystals
and the vital variety of plant and animal cells, students draw important conclusions about living and
nonliving things. They study the tiny world of one-celled protistsm and grow and observe colonies of
bacteria. In the process, students enlarge their repertoire of scientific skills, learning to focus a magnifier,
adjust a microscope, make a wet mount, and stain a slide

Description: From a simple beginning--a balloon inflated with a sealed syringe-to a sophisticated conclusion-a glider
based on aerodynamic life-students compile an encyclopedia of air. Hands on experiments demonstrate that
air takes up space, has weight, exerts pressure, and is always in motion. Students draw conclusions from
their observations that air displaces water and shrinks when cooled. They investigate air resistance and air
speed. Students also construct several instruments, including a balance, a barometer, and a device showing
the Bernoulli effect.

Description: Students use a set of twelve SkyCaps-a tool created by Dr. Carolyn Sumners of Housing Museum of
Natural History-to experience observational astronomy in the classroom. Experimenting with SkyCaps and
other kit tools, students discover how Earth's motion relates to day and night, the annual seasons and the
predictably changing night sky. They reproduce constellation patterns and build a three dimensional model
to explore stellar distances and magnitudes. Color transparencies from Hubble images and Shuttle training
programs support student investigation of the life cycle of the stars, the shapes of the galaxies, and the size
of the universe. Students also build instruments to experience celestial navigation. Astronomy brings the
expanse of the cosmos and centuries of ideas about it into the reach of student understanding.

motion of the Earth. In Solar and Luanr journals, students record daily observations about time and
position of sunrise and sunset, moon shape, daytime visibility, and elevation. Their data point to
interactions among the Earth, Sun, and Moon that explain day and night, seasons, moon phases, length of
day, tides, and more. Scale models of the Solar system dramatize its massive distances and its planets'
relative sizes. The final activity puts students on board famous ocean voyages, relying on celestial
navigation to stay on course.

electricity. The rest of the unit focuses on the transfer of electrical energy by electric current. Students
build, operate and analyze circuits, becoming skilled in assembling bulbs, batteries, wires and switches.
They explore concepts of energy sources, receivers, an converters. Student built galvanometers detect the
presence, direction, comparative amount, and conservation of current in series and parallel circuits.
Students also experiment with factors, like resistance, that influence current, and convert electrical to
kinetic energy to operate a motor. The final current activities focus on three way and dimmer switches.

Description: From castle walls to classroom chalk, the uses of rocks and minerals are far reaching and fantastic. Your
class builds a unit long list of such uses, and along the way investigates assorted stony specimens. Students
begin by creating rocks embedded with fossils and growing salt crystals to model minerals. Then they
practice geology by performing four standard field tests on ten different samples: testing luster, hardness,
and true color and for the presence of calcium carbonate. The collected data show the distinguishing
properties of each type and help students become expert identifiers. Students also explore the three ways
rocks are made and infer the origins of the kit specimens. As on-site geologists, they collect samples and
test findings in the field.

Description: In Soil Science, students take to the school yard with trowels in hand. Several weeks later, they are familiar
with sampling techniques and soil components, weathering and erosion, minerals and nutrients, and more.
Students separate soil into particle layers and classify soil types according to estimated proportions. Once
they understand what soil is, they find out how it is made by modeling plant and water weathing. Next,
students observe how earthworms mix and enrich the soil. They discover that nutrient rich soil helps plants
grow, and plants in turn help soil resist erosion. Grass gardens, pollution detectors, worm farms, and
erosion models offer strong hands on experiences.

explores shadows from every possible angle. Once students identify what is needed to make a shadow-a
light source, a solid object, and a surface they are off and running. In both indoor and outdoor activities,
students make predictions about how shadows change position, size, length, and even become multiples or
disappear. From their experiments they draw conclusions about the variables, like the sun's movement, that
affect shadow shapes. They also create silhouettes to explore shadow properties, and sundials to put
shadows to work telling time.

The "scene of the crime" is the "Gray Area," including forests, a city and town, a coast, rivers, a lake and a
pond. Possible "suspects" include a water slide, a toy factory, a golf course, loggers, hunters and fishers, a
cow ranch, oil tanker, automobiles, and households. Your students--the environmental detectives--perform
chemical and biological tests to figure out what is causing the problems. Among content areas are:
chlorine pollution, acid rain, erosion, and sediment pollution, predator-prey relationships, phosphate
pollution/algal blooms and oil pollution. Students become aware of the interconnectedness of the natural
world, the complexity of environmental problems, and how major impacts can be triggered by one

Description: Packages and Polygons introduces students to the exploration of two and three dimensional shapes. The
unit begins with an investigation into geometrical shapes, such as prisms and pyramids, in real world
objects. Students create nets and construct models of regular and semi regular polyhedra. They use their
models and nets to investigate the relationship between vertices, edges, and faces. Students solve problems
by constructing, visualizing, and reasoning about polyhedra. At the end of the unit, students design their
own packages in the shapes of polyhedra. Also included is the Student Edition

Title: Britannica Mathematics in Context: Ups and Downs
Description: In Ups and Downs , students are informally introduced to a variety of real life situations involving growth
patterns. Throughout the unit, students learn how to describe these patterns of increase and decrease using
tables of values, graphs, and formulas expressed as word formulas, arrow strings, or with letter symbols.
The mathematics in Section A focuses on examining patterns of increase and decrease in tables and graphs.
Graphs are analyzed and interpreted in greater depth here than in previous units, as students are challenged
to find the differences in growth in a graph and relate tables of values to various graphs of straight lines and
curves. In later sections, periodic functions, linear functions, and exponential growth and decay are
introduced. Students use both recursive and direct formulas to describe linear growth patterns, while
exponential growth is described using only recursive formulas. In each growth pattern context, the
relationships between a formula's table of challenged to give the meanings of the variables and numbers in
specific formulas and explain the origin of some formulas.

Title: Britannica Mathematics in Context: Per Sense
Description: Per Sense introduces students to experiences that will enrich their understanding of percents. The
interrelationship between fractions, percents and ratios is implicit throughout the unit. Students should
develop an intuitive understanding of the concept of percent and its use as a standardization in order to
make comparisons between different quanities. The major focus is on percent as a standardization of
fractions and ratios in terms of parts per hundred. To build this understanding, students use percent bars
and ratio tables. Also included is the Student Edition
