What's the Matter with Starting Sixth Grade
by Kelley Staggs
In this middle school student science book, What's the Matter with Starting Sixth Grade, the main concepts of physics and chemistry are explained through narrative, non-fiction text. Using concrete examples of mass and matter, students explore important ideas to understand mass, matter, atoms, molecules, gravity, volume, density, and buoyancy. Famous scientists such as John Dalton and Archimedes are introduced and their important theories and principals are each explained. The connection is made between concrete examples from the classroom to more abstract ideas such as the gravitational pull and mass of planets or black holes, the density of neutron stars, and space science technologies. Math instruction related to gravity and weight, volume, and density is modeled and practiced. Inquiry learning is promoted through researching and testing questions related to the topics. Each concept has an interactive link to computer simulated activities from the University of Colorado, a check for understanding quiz linked to Smart board express, supportive video clips, and even an interactive Periodic Table of Elements. Appendixes include resources and related activities. The book contents work well in hard copy or as an e-book edition. Have fun exploring What's Matter with Starting Sixth Grade!
