How do our bodies manage to heal wounds, build the stamina to run marathons, and give us the energy—even while we’re sleeping—to keep us alive and functioning? \u003cem\u003eMatter and Energy for Growth and Activity\u003c\/em\u003e prompts high school students to explore fascinating questions like these. It takes a new approach to teaching essential ideas about food, human body systems, matter and energy changes, and chemical reactions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeveloped by a team of scientists and science educators and then tested in classrooms, the 14 phenomena-based lessons in this book follow a coherent sequence. They unfold in two main sections: (1) making sense of the matter changes involved in human growth and (2) making sense of the energy changes involved in human growth and activity. Matter and Energy is unique because it does the following:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTargets important ideas about changes in both physical and biological systems within the same unit. The book first engages students in seeing the usefulness of the ideas in making sense of phenomena in simple physical systems. Then it shows how to apply these ideas to make sense of related phenomena in complex biological systems. This interdisciplinary approach reflects the way science is practiced in the real world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports all three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards. Disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science practices are all integrated in this unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasizes important relationships between mathematics and science. Students interpret data sets and graphs to provide evidence for claims. They also do simple computations to explain puzzling phenomena—for example, why does energy have to be added to ignite a marshmallow even though the burning marshmallow releases lots of energy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds on the middle school unit Toward High School Biology (also published by NSTA Press). Together the two units help students deepen their understanding of matter and energy changes in plants and animals and the role of chemical reactions in the growth, repair, and activity of living organisms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eMatter and Energy for Growth and Activity, Student Edition\u003c\/em\u003e provides all the student handouts with the teaching tips and sample answers found in the Teacher Edition removed. A set of online resources includes the interactive media, videos, and handouts required to use these experiential lessons. Between both books, you have the support you need to help your students turn abstract ideas into applicable knowledge—a critical first step in learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40404893270113,"sku":"9781681406862","price":33.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/b8138c064135b5eca8eaca0533416702.png?v=1695832410","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781681406862-matter-and-energy-for-growth-and-activit","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
