Computers are more prevalent in our daily lives than ever before, yet many people are unfamiliar with the concepts and technology of computer science. Offering 20 engaging experiments and activities based on computer research, "Computer Science Experiments" aims to expand students' learning experiences in this field by covering key science concepts. The experiments in this volume come from all major areas of science, including biology, environmental science, physics, chemistry, and Earth systems. Including such helpful experiments as a 'Virtual Pig Dissection', 'Human Parasites', 'Breathing Demonstration', and 'Hydrolysis and Dehydration Synthesis', this easy-to-use and updated resource features full-color line illustrations, tables, and charts to help hold students' attention and clearly explain information. This useful new collection is an ideal primer for middle and high school students, and it offers teachers a new approach to presenting some basic concepts in a new and engaging way....

"Science Experiments On File[trademark], Volume 4" is a collection of 60 engaging new science experiments for the classroom, covering the core fields of biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and Earth science, as well as forensic science. The field of science is enjoying more public interest now than ever before, making this new volume in the "Science Experiments On File"[trademark] set a relevant addition to any classroom. Based on national science standards, the experiments in this volume give students the opportunity to think like scientists and find out what it really takes to solve a problem. Many of them are written in partial or full inquiry style, and all require higher-level learning skills, such as processing, assessing, estimating, analyzing, and synthesizing. As a result, students will develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. The high-interest experiment topics will engage students and help them make connections to their own lives....

60 brand-new experiments a year - from six core science disciplines! Each fall a new volume in the "Science Experiments On File[trademark]" series will become available, containing 60 entirely new experiments. Each of the five core areas of science - biology, chemistry, earth science, environmental science, and physics - will be represented, along with an additional area of science - such as space and astronomy or forensic science - particular to the given volume. Specifically geared toward middle and high school classrooms, these volumes will provide multidisciplinary coverage of science topics relevant to real life....

"Science Experiments On File [trademark], Volume 3" is a collection of 60 outstanding new experiments for the science classroom, covering the core fields of biology, chemistry, Earth science, environmental science, physics, astronomy, and weather and climate. These clearly designed experiments give science teachers new and refreshing ways to help students grasp key science concepts as they are defined by the national science standards. To help students understand how scientists reached their conclusions, each unit also contains a section that encourages students to design and carry out their own experiments, giving them the opportunity to think like scientists. Teachers can find answers to the analysis questions in 'Our Findings', a section of the appendix that provides sample data as well as answers to questions. New in this volume are suggestions for classroom discussions that can be held before or after each lab to help students integrate what they have learned into their own experiences....
