Engage students in grade 1 while connecting physical activity, good health, and learning using Learning in Motion. Teach basic language arts and math skills with more than 40 activities that help students build physical and mental muscle. These age-appropriate activities cover reading, writing, speaking, listening, and math. The activities focus on concepts of print, syllables, rhyming words, long and short vowels, comprehension, main idea and details, capitalization, punctuation, nouns and verbs, descriptive language, skip counting, number lines, place value, time, and patterns. These activities support NCTE and NCTM standards while developing flexibility, strength, and endurance. This 80-page book aligns with state, national, and Canadian provincial standards and includes a parent letter and instructions for creating easy-to-use, low-cost activity equipment.

As many as one in 20 children struggles with sensory issues. To address these needs in the classroom, sensory integration has become a staple in early education. This book is sure to be every teacher's bible of sensory activities.

A group of farmyard animals illustrate the action of force and motion.

There are forces at work whenever you throw a ball, run up the stairs, or push your big brotheroff the couch. Want to learn more about the forces around you? Read and find out!

Give your students a kick start on learning with our Force and Motion 3-book BUNDLE. Students begin by exploring different Forces. Conduct several experiments on the force of friction and air resistance. Understand that acceleration and deceleration are examples of unbalanced forces. Next, take the mystery out of Motion. Graph the velocity of students walking home from school at different speeds. Follow directions to find your way using a treasure map. Finally, get familiar with Simple Machines. Conduct an experiment with first-class levers to study distance and force. Find the resistance force when walking up an inclined plane. Each concept is paired with hands-on activities and experiments. Aligned to the Next Generation State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.

An airplane soars through the sky. A wind gust blows through the leaves. Objects are in motion all around you. But what makes objects move? And what are some different ways that objects move? Read this book to find out! Learn all about matter, energy, and forces in the Exploring Physical Science series—part of the Lightning Bolt Books™ collection. With high-energy designs, exciting photos, and fun text, Lightning Bolt Books™ bring nonfiction topics to life!

"What if you could challenge your kindergartners to create a mini roller coaster? Physics in Motion turns a fun building project into an opportunity to investigate concepts such as energy, gravity, friction, and speed. Students will use the engineering design process while working collaboratively to design, build, and test marble track roller coasters. They will measure, compare, and evaluate numbers related to their project. They'll use technology to do research and demonstrate their awareness of motion-related concepts. They'll even craft a plan for making the roller coaster part of a theme park and then create a flyer to advertise it. The module is an entry point for students to explore the physics of motion through play and then decide which roller coaster design is best"--
