SCIENCE. This title encourages children to explore the different ways they can move their bodies and to consider the different ways things move in the world around them - a roundabout goes round and round, a see-saw goes up and down. The concepts of pushing and pulling are explored and children are encouraged to experiment with these forces for themselves. The best selling Start-Up series of books have now been rewritten to emphasise the cross-curricular teaching potential of each title. They will provide notes and activities, spread by spread, highlighting ways in which learning can be extended in various subject areas for KS1. The other key changes on the original series will be revamped end sections featuring extension learning details together with the latest internet and web resource information. Ages 5+.

Learn how things get moving and what makes them stop.

Introduces the ways that energy powers the invisible forces that cause objects to move, and discusses friction, gravity, and magnetism.

Describes different types of forces and offers experiments to demonstrate the priciples of physical science that apply.

The nine lessons in this module introduce students to forces (pushes and pulls) that act on objects. Students investigate friction, magnetic force, static electrical force, and gravitational force. Students also explore energy and movement, and design and construct objects that use different forms of energy to move.Also included:materials lists activity descriptions questioning techniques activity centre and extension ideas assessment suggestions activity sheets and visuals The module offers a detailed introduction to the Hands-On Science program (guiding principles, implementation guidelines, an overview of the skills that young students use and develop during scientific inquiry), a list of children's books and websites related to the science topics introduced, and a classroom assessment plan with record-keeping templates.

A simple look at motion.
