Issues and Physical Science: Waves, Revised
by University of California Berkeley Lawrence Hall of ScienceNIMAC-sourced textbook <p>How are waves both helpful and harmful? Students encounter a variety of technologies that make use of waves. They also investigate the harmful effects of certain waves and methods to mitigate the risks associated with these waves. PE Assessment Example: Use what you learned from your hands-on investigation to explain why noise is more of a problem for analog vs digital signals, and why digital signals are more reliable to encode and transmit information. Waves is part of Issues and Science three year middle school program, designed by SEPUP at the Lawrence Hall of Science. This five week unit anchors the lessons around the the socio-science issue: How are waves both helpful and harmful? Investigative phenomena within the 15 activities connect back to the issue and storyline. This unit builds towards and assesses PEs PS4-1, PS4-2, PS4-3. The Student Book guides students in exploring a socio-science issue and connected phemonena through a series of varied activity types. Activity types use one of twelve different instructional strategies to apply Science and Engineering Practices to specific Disciplinary Core Ideas and Cross Cutting Concepts. SEPUP's integrated literacy strategies help students process new science content, develop their analytical skills, make connections between related concepts, and express their knowledge orally and in writing. The built-in assessment system helps teachers identify students' strengths and weaknesses from the beginning of the unit. This allows them to adjust activities when needed so that all students get the best chance to build their knowledge and appreciation of science. At the back of the Student Book there is an Appendix containing additional resources for students, such as science skills, literacy strategies, and media literacy among others. </p>

Issues and Life Science
by Barbara Nagle Manisha Hariani Donna MarkeyAs you examine the activities in this book, you may wonder, "Why does this book look so different from other science books I've seen?"

Issues and Life Science: From Cells to Organisms, Revised
by Lawrence Hall of Science University of California BerkeleyNIMAC-sourced textbook <p>How should we prevent the spread of an infectious disease? Students investigate how scientists first learned about cells and how this discovery led to new understandings of how infectious diseases spread. They gather evidence about the structures and functions of cells, develop models of cells, and explain how cells in animals and plants get the matter and energy they need to survive and grow. PE Assessment Example: Based on what you have learned in the “Cells Alive!” activity and this activity, draw a diagram (or create another type of model) to show what happens to the food you eat. Your model should show the movement of matter and the release of energy stored in food. From Cells to Organisms is part of Issues and Science three year middle school program, designed by SEPUP at the Lawrence Hall of Science. This five to six week unit anchors the lessons around the the socio-science issue: How should we prevent the spread of an infectious disease?

Issues and Life Science: Ecology, Revised
by Lawrence Hall of Science University of California BerkeleyNIMAC-sourced textbook <p>What kinds of future space missions should we fund and conduct? Students take observations from their everyday life and build scientific models to try to understand how phenomena, such as changes in the moon’s appearance, seasons, and gravity work. Through data collection and analyzation students later use their understanding of what can be learned through space missions to determine the trade-offs of different proposed space missions. PE Assessment Example: Prepare a labeled diagram that includes a caption explaining how Earth’s tilt and its orbit around the Sun cause each of the following: a. changes in the angle of sunlight hitting the Earth’s surface. b. the seasons in the Southern Hemisphere to be opposite of the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. Solar System and Beyond is part of Issues and Science three year middle school program, designed by SEPUP at the Lawrence Hall of Science.

Issues and Earth Science
by Janet BellantoniAs you examine the activities in this book, you may wonder, "Why does this book look so different from other science books I've seen?" The reason is simple: it is a different kind of science program, and only some of what you will learn can be seen by leafing through this book! Issues and Earth Science uses several kinds of activities to teach science. For example, you will observe and test the properties of soil, rocks, and minerals. You will examine a model of the way water moves earth materials to change the surface of the land. You will conduct a computer simulation to investigate the causes of earthquakes and volcanoes. You will also analyze data about Earth and the solar system. A combination of experiments, readings, models, debates, role plays, and projects will help you uncover the nature of science and the relevance of science to your interests. You will find that important scientific ideas come up again and again in different activities throughout the book. You will be expected to do more than just memorize these concepts: you will be asked to explain and apply them. In particular, you will improve your decision-making skills by using evidence to weigh outcomes and to decide what you think should be done about the scientific issues facing our society. How do we know that this is a good way for you to learn? In general, research on science education supports it. In particular, the activities in this book were tested by hundreds of students and their teachers, and then modified on the basis of their feedback. In a sense, this entire book is the result of an investigation: we had people test our ideas, we interpreted the results, and we then revised our ideas! We believe the result will show you that learning more about science is important, enjoyable, and relevant to your life.

The Islander: Complete and Unabridged
by Tomas O'Crohan Garry Bannister David SowbyThis superb account of life on the Great Blasket Island off the west coast of Kerry, written as the nineteenth century draws to its close and the dawn of a new era trespasses on the lives of its small community, is both a shocking and captivating read. Here is the first complete translation of Tomas O'Crohan's autobiography An tOileánach, first published in 1929. This edition is based on Professor Sean O Coileain's definitive 2002 Irish language edition. It contains many passages omitted from the previous English language translation by Robin Flower from the 1930s, some of which were thought too earthy for the times. Tomas O'Crohan, a fisherman who, at around the age of forty, has taught himself to read and write in his own native tongue, depicts in unaffected, vivid language a very unforgiving landscape of human experience. The Islander reflects life as it was on the Blaskets, raw, real and extremely challenging.
