Tim Lowson — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 06:04:36 +0000

Junior Scientists Book 3 provides students with the opportunity to learn about science by: experimenting with materials, asking questions, recording observations, investigating and reflecting, and devising new ideas/theories about how the world works.

Each activity page is paired with a page of notes for the teacher. These notes include: ideas for introducing each activity, background information, answers and possible student responses and extension activities.

Junior Scientists Book 3 is the third book in a three part Science Series which explores four areas of science: biology, physics, chemistry and earth and space. It is a ‘must have’ resource for any Year 3 teacher.

Practical Science Series: Working Scientifically, 10-12 yrs

Tim Lowson — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 03:19:43 +0000

This book contains a set of practical lessons, ideas and worksheets to explore the strand of Working Scientifically. Learning activities focus on making balloon rockets and balloon vehicles, exploring the five senses, conducting a water taste test, and surveying the ecology and physical features of the school grounds. Students will be involved in designing and constructing experiments to test hypotheses. Specific science skills will be enhanced through these activities including using data tables, measuring time and distance, surveying, researching and interpreting results. Students will also be involved in making simple written observations, gathering data, illustrating, labelling and constructing graphs, and assessing the fairness and validity of experiments. Educational website references have been included where possible. All activities are outcome linked to the science strands of state curriculum documents.
