In the Heat leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that heat is a form of energy. (The terms energy, work, force, and speed are defined). The movement of atoms and molecules creates heat energy, and the faster atoms and molecules move, the more heat is released. (Atoms and molecules are described.) Ice cubes are cold because the water molecules are moving slowly. As the molecules move faster, the water gets warmer and the ice melts. When molecules move even faster, the water…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
In the Heat leveled reader, fundamental science facts in chemistry are explained through simply written text and colorful, fun illustrations. Young readers discover that heat is a form of energy. (The terms energy, work, force, and speed are defined). The movement of atoms and molecules creates heat energy, and the faster atoms and molecules move, the more heat is released. (Atoms and molecules are described.) Ice cubes are cold because the water molecules are moving slowly. As the molecules move faster, the water gets warmer and the ice melts. When molecules move even faster, the water becomes steam. The faster molecules move, the more energy they have. Humans and animals need heat energy to stay alive. A pronunciation guide of scientific terms is included. 24 pages filled with engaging, colorful illustrations. Reading Level 1-3, Interest Level 2-5.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Rebecca Woodbury received her Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry from the University of New Mexico in 1992. She was awarded a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of New Mexico, followed by a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. While home schooling her three children, Dr. Woodbury was unable to find a curriculum that provided a solid foundation in science. She left academia, and using her scientific background coupled with her love of learning, she developed a series of science books for kids. The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in science and gives them the tools to evaluate scientific data on their own. "We should not rely on the 'experts' but instead learn how to critically evaluate every scientific claim," states Dr. Woodbury. "In these uncertain times with so many social, scientific, and economic problems, it is not enough to teach our kids what to learn. We must also teach them how to learn, and we must encourage our kids to learn from others. Part of learning from others is to know how to engage in productive debate." The Real Science-4-Kids curriculum, with its engaging, kid-friendly Student Textbooks; Laboratory Notebooks full of real science experiments; and easy to use Teacher's Manuals, provides kids with a solid science education in chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. This curriculum is used in all 50 states in the US and many other countries. Dr. Woodbury and her publishing team continue to develop and test new products, including leveled readers and mini books, at the Real Science-4-Kids Albuquerque headquarters.
