Physical Science Curriculum

Keep your child's interest in science going strong! Interactive Science makes learning science personal and engaging.

This consumable, interactive Student Worktext is the center of instruction for the Physical Science, Pearson Interactive Science Grades 6-8 curriculum. Weekly chapters are broken down into individual daily lessons, and include 3-6 lessons with inquiry labs, as well as an end-of-chapter study guide, review, and assessment section; a "science matters" feature at the very end looks at the application of science to real-world issues. Chapters cover the Introduction to matter, solids, liquids, and gases, elements and the periodic table, atoms and bonding, chemical reactions, acids, bases, and solutions, motion, forces, energy, sound, light, electricity and more.

Chapters begin with a "big question" that frames the lessons to follow, and an example with prediction question. Lessons include a brief background check with highlighted and defined terms; a longer lesson with integrated questions; lesson questions that linkback to the big question; "lab zone" hands-on questions; and "got it?" questions that provide an opportunity to prove that the main point has been learned, or whether students are still confused. A wide variety of questions pop up throughout, including "do the math," "what do you know?," "apply it!" and other forms of assessment, practice, and review.

Homeschoolers, Please Note: The student workbook refers to videos and online components that are part of the "digital path," a student science website. Savvas does not include a student access code for this website and its content with this item,nor is it sold for homeschool use at this time. A teacher's Edition e-Text is available for purchase as a kit, but is not included with this textbook.

Also, please be aware that this textbook teaches evolution and an old-earth timeline that refers to"billions of years."

Discover The World of Light and Sound through the fun, unique approach used in the Great Science Adventures Series.

Organized around 24 lessons, each with a mini-book project, lab activity, and graphic organizer project, students will learn about how light reflects and refracts, what causes shadows, how sound is measured, how sound travels, what makes loud or soft sounds, how humans hear, and more.

Lessons are written to the teacher and tie together the various elements of the curriculum. Each features primary concepts to teach, vocabulary words, a note on which "Lots of Science Library Book" mini-book to make & read, lab activities, graphic organizer instructions, and "Experience, Investigations, and Research" enrichment/extension projects.

A final cumulative project completes the course.

Each "Lots of Science Library Book" mini-book is numbered to match a lesson, and when completed, features the content for each lesson. Books are designed to be read to students, read independently, or used as research materials. Teachers will need to photocopy pages in order to create the booklets.

The 3D Graphic Organizers are also organized by lesson number, and provide pictures and graphics to be duplicated and used as manipulatives or other forms of visual reinforcement. These allow students to break down complicated information into an easy-to-remember format they can then analyze and review.
