Workbook with 30 topic-specific, classroom-ready lessons that teach Greek & Latin roots/stems/prefixes/suffixes in the Physical Science classroom. Each lesson includes a list of morphemes used in the vocabulary in a specific unit of study, quizzes, worksheets, and answer keys. Big words in science almost always break into smaller "words" called morphemes (or roots, stems, prefixes, of suffixes). Once students learn the meanings of common morphemes, they find larger vocabulary words easier to read and understand. This book differs from others like it in several ways. First, it organizes lists of morphemes by topic to allow a science teacher to connect them to the current unit of study. Second, it defines example words in order to make them meaningful to students, to ensure that students can connect the meaning of a morpheme to the examples given. Ultimately, the goal of this publication is to increase students' understandings of scientific terminology. An increased ability to decipher unfamiliar vocabulary words benefits any student, but especially those moving on to college or to work in the fields of science, medicine, engineering, and/or technology.

What student—or teacher—can resist the chance to experiment with Rocket Launchers, Drinking Birds, Dropper Poppers, Boomwhackers, Flying Pigs, and more? The 54 experiments in Using Physics Gadgets and Gizmos, Grades 9–12, encourage your high school students to explore a variety of phenomena involved with pressure and force, thermodynamics, energy, light and color, resonance, buoyancy, two-dimensional motion, angular momentum, magnetism, and electromagnetic induction. The authors say there are three good reasons to buy this book: 1. To improve your students’ thinking skills and problem-solving abilities 2. To acquire easy-to-perform experiments that engage students in the topic 3. To make your physics lessons waaaaay more cool The phenomenon-based learning (PBL) approach used by the authors—two Finnish teachers and a U.S. professor—is as educational as the experiments are attention-grabbing. Instead of putting the theory before the application, PBL encourages students to first experience how the gadgets work and then grow curious enough to find out why. Students engage in the activities not as a task to be completed but as exploration and discovery. The idea is to help your students go beyond simply memorizing physics facts. Using Physics Gadgets and Gizmos can help them learn broader concepts, useful critical-thinking skills, and science and engineering practices (as defined by the Next Generation Science Standards). And—thanks to those Boomwhackers and Flying Pigs—both your students and you will have some serious fun.

Implement Newton’s First Law of Motion as a teaching principle with this packet: students (bodies at rest) need many hands-on activities (impressed forces) to learn (compelling change)! This collection of Physical Science Action Labs will give your students plenty of experience with motion. The labs will introduce your students to the characteristics of motion, focusing specifically on momentum.

This book showcases effective ways to build the vocabulary knowledge K-8 learners need to engage meaningfully in reading, writing, and discussion on academic subjects. The distinguished authors draw on decades of classroom experience to explain what academic vocabulary is, how it fits into the Common Core State Standards, and how targeting vocabulary can enhance conceptual understanding in English language arts, social studies, and math and science. Rich classroom vignettes, teaching tips, and examples of student work are included. The book also features helpful figures, word lists, discussion questions, and recommended print and online resources.

The 300 systematic, engaging lessons in the second edition of Power Tools for Literacy are aligned with the Orton Gillingham method and the Common Core Reading Standards. Become an expert in teaching phonics in the context of syllable patterns and showing students how to analyze or chunk words into phonemes, syllables, base words, prefixes, suffixes, Latin roots, and Greek elements. Mastering and blending these phonograms and morphemes enables students to decode and spell one-syllable and polysyllabic words with ease and accuracy.A report by The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development states, "For those children who are at risk for reading failure, highly direct and systematic instruction to develop phonemic awareness and phonics skills is required." In keeping with this principle, Power Tools for Literacy follows an explicit progression of phonics skills proven successful with struggling readers, students with learning differences or dyslexia, and English learners.Designed for grades 3-12, this program lends itself to individual or group instruction. The look and feel of the lessons is appropriate for any age group; material that appears tailored to young children has been avoided.Power Tools for Literacy uses a variety of interesting activities to cover these key topics and more:Short and long vowels with consonant blends and digraphsR-controlled vowels, diphthongs, and vowel digraphsSyllable patternsRules for dividing polysyllabic wordsCompound wordsReading, spelling, and defining 50 suffixesSpelling rules for adding suffixes to base wordsVocabulary enrichment by reading, spelling, and defining 50 prefixesAccented and unaccented syllablesFree and bound morphemesLatin roots and Greek combining formsWeekly spelling lists that incorporate high frequency sight wordsThe unique aspect of Power Tools for Literacy is the use of syllable codes. Each type of syllable has a code abbreviation. Utilizing codes in conjunction with a multisensory technique reinforces the structure of previously covered concepts and builds in review to achieve automaticity.This program is only one component of an effective reading program. It should be coupled with a literature-based curriculum, accompanied by intensive vocabulary development.
