{"product_id":"9780692359358","title":"The Inquisitive Pioneer: The book of At-Home Basic-Materials Science Activities solving with a Slide Rule","description":"This is a book for thinkers, students, teachers, and parents who love science and math in the form of activities only using common and basic items. For example you can measure the energy of the sun with a cup of water, a thermometer, and a watch. Each activity gives the purpose, the materials list, the procedure, the data tables, the formulae, and the conclusion to follow. One has to obtain the needed materials, if a student\/child have permission and supervision, and a spirit of scientific curiosity to set forth on the adventure of science. All activities involve measurements and calculations to reach conclusions - which is the heart of the scientific method in practice. The range of activities spans most of physics, but looks at chemistry, astronomy, and several types of math too. The slide rule is encouraged ( and a paper template one is supplied ) to do the math with plenty of directions on its use and why it should be used to teach numeracy skills today. To take this quest one has to be the scientist, the researcher, the experimenter, the mathematician - in sum be the inquisitive pioneer.\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003eCh.I Why bring the Slide Rule back to the Classroom today? \u003cbr\u003eCh.II Basic Data Analysis with a Slide Rule \u003cbr\u003eCh.III ... history of the Slide Rule \u003cbr\u003eCh.IV How to Use a Slide Rule \u003cbr\u003eCh.V Gauge Marks and Scales ... \u003cbr\u003eActivity 1 : Using Math (and the Slide Rule) in Everyday Life \u003cbr\u003eActivity 2 : ... - Proportions \u003cbr\u003eActivity 3 : Calculating Cost of Water Usage at Home \u003cbr\u003eActivity 4 : Calculating Cost of Electricity Usage at Home \u003cbr\u003eActivity 5 : Some Indirect Measures determined \u003cbr\u003eActivity 6 : Finding Pi using everyday objects and by graphing \u003cbr\u003eActivity 7 : Similar Triangles ... determined \u003cbr\u003eActivity 8 : Right Triangles Calculations \u003cbr\u003eActivity 9 : Law of Sines Use with Solving Story Problems \u003cbr\u003eActivity 10 : Estimate the Number of Leaves on a Tree \u003cbr\u003eActivity 11 : Density of various Items Determination \u003cbr\u003eActivity 12 : Computing the Number of Moles in a Substance \u003cbr\u003eActivity 13 : Determining Weighted Average to explore Isotopes \u003cbr\u003eActivity 14 : Measures and Calculations approximating Atmospheric Pressure \u003cbr\u003eActivity 15 : Personal Pressure Determination \u003cbr\u003eActivity 16 : Finding the Weight of a Car from Tire Pressure \u003cbr\u003eActivity 17 : A Marble's Small Size Determination to relate to Atoms Size \u003cbr\u003eActivity 18 : Charles' Law exploration with a Balloon and Thermometer \u003cbr\u003eActivity 19 : Acceleration on an Incline calculation \u003cbr\u003e• Position-Time Data Analysis Considerations\u003cbr\u003eActivity 20 : Acceleration due to Gravity determination \u003cbr\u003eActivity 21 : Graphical Analysis of a Bouncing Ball Activity 22 : Newton's 2nd Law relation examination \u003cbr\u003eActivity #23 : Coefficient of Sliding \u0026amp; Static Friction \u003cbr\u003eActivity 24 : Mechanical Energy calculation exploration \u003cbr\u003eActivity 25 : Elastic Potential Energy determination \u003cbr\u003eActivity 26 : Finding Energy and Power from climbing stairs \u003cbr\u003eActivity 27 : Various Rate of Heating Determinations \u003cbr\u003eActivity 28 : Finding the Rate of Cooling \u003cbr\u003eActivity 29 : Comparing the Rate of Cooling \u003cbr\u003eActivity 30 : Predicting Final Temperatures of hot \u0026amp; cold water mixtures \u003cbr\u003eActivity 31 : Determining the Specific Heat Capacity of Water \u003cbr\u003eActivity 32 : Determining the Specific Heat Capacity of a Metal \u003cbr\u003eActivity 33 : Finding the Number of Calories of a Food Item \u003cbr\u003eActivity 34 : Estimating the Quantity of Electrostatic Charge \u003cbr\u003eActivity 35 : Electromagnet Graphing Explorations \u003cbr\u003eActivity 36 : Rate of Spin of a simple Electric Motor measure \u003cbr\u003eActivity 37 : Simple Magnetic Field Strength determination \u003cbr\u003eActivity 38 : Exploring Waves with a Spring \u003cbr\u003eActivity 39 : Several Pendulum Characteristics Explorations \u003cbr\u003eActivity 40 : Determining the Wavelength of a Laser Light \u003cbr\u003eActivity 41 : Graphically investigating the Inverse-Square Law of Light \u003cbr\u003eActivity 42 : Estimating the Size of the Moon \u003cbr\u003eActivity 43 : Solar Cell Study Explorations \u003cbr\u003eActivity 44 : Graphically determining Kepler's 3rd Law \u003cbr\u003eActivity 45 : Calculating the Solar Constant \u003cbr\u003eProject : Personal Slide Rule Template","brand":"The Inquisitive Pioneer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49815757029616,"sku":"9780692359358","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692359358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
