{"product_id":"2940158024207","title":"The worlds greatest middle school physical science textbook in the known universe and beyond! VOLUME ONE","description":"This is volume one of a planned three volume set. Volume one covers the scientific method, matter and energy. Volume two will cover physics (motion, gravity, pressure, etc) and chemistry (chemical bonding, acids-bases, etc). Volume three will cover everything else (waves, pseudo-science, etc).\u003cbr\u003eThis is intended to be a middle school level physical science textbook, but it is not written as one. It is easy to understand and funny. It is not only targeted at a middle school student but sounds like one wrote it. A lot of immature examples are used, kids like this. This is not your normal textbook, it is fun to read, but includes all the vocabulary and complex ideas. The current textbooks are full of boring information but they are useless if no one wants to actually read them. A student will want to read this one, so will an adult. It explains in easy language, complex topics. There are links to demonstrations, experiments, simulations, videos, and funny examples of science. This book is written to make physical science fun, as all science should be.\u003cbr\u003e   Normally a textbook is written so the teacher can make a lesson from it, this one is the opposite. These are my lessons converted into a textbook. I know the lessons and examples work, so the textbook should also.\u003cbr\u003eSince this is an e-book it also includes links to my power point lessons (in video form), links to videos, demonstrations, flash card sets, and simulations. There are a lot of links in each chapter.\u003cbr\u003e   This is self-published book designed to be an affordable online textbook for middle school or home school children.\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cbr\u003eVolume one covers the Scientific Method, The basics of Matter, and Energy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTable of contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnit 1 – What the Heck is science?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 – How to think like a scientist\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 – The scientific Method\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 – Physical Science \u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 – Lab safety\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 – The controlled experiment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnit 2 – What is Matter\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 – Measuring Matter\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 – Atoms\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 – Combining matter into new stuff\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 – The common states of matter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnit 3 – The Properties of matter\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 – Properties of matter\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 – Changing states of\u003cbr\u003e Matter   \u003cbr\u003eChapter 12 – Using properties\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnit 4 – Energy\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13– Forms of energy\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14 – Energy transitions\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15 – Energy technology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnit 5 – Heat \u003cbr\u003eChapter 16– Temperature\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17– Heat\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18 – The movement of heat","brand":"michael Ritts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164129902832,"sku":"2940158024207","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158024207_p0.jpg?v=1764108443","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158024207","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
