Action Science is a hands-on introduction to physical science at the middle school level. Containing integrated lab explorations and activities, it is a book to work with, not simply a book to read. Science itself is a dynamic process and this book is intended to introduce students to the methods of science as well as the content. The best way to learn science - and to learn about the process of science - is as an active participant. The aim of this book is threefold: first, to provide content that is basic knowledge about the physical sciences. Second, to help students understand the process of science by participating in that process themselves. Third, to develop the skills of critical analysis, deductive reasoning, and mathematical analysis that students will need as they continue their education in all disciplines.The material covered in this book is intended for students in the range of 6th through 9th grade. The entire course is divided into 5 units of 4 to 6 chapters each. Unit 1, Learning and Practicing the Methods of Science, will introduce your student to the techniques on which the next units will expand. Altogether, the 5 units comprise a full program that covers the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) middle school physical science well as the Common Core physical science curriculum.The labs and activities can be performed with a minimum of special equipment, and the Teacher’s Guide (purchased as a separate document for a nominal cost) provides answers, solution methods, and descriptions for all exercises; expected outcomes and discussion of lab activities; and guidance and background for the reading material. Whether you use this book as a classroom textbook, as the basis for a home-school science program, or as a supplement to one of these, the learning is a collaborative process among text, students, and teacher. The material is only fully understood by a participatory process. Hence the name, Action Science.
