CONTENTS OVERVIEW

 

Introduction

SCIENCE: A Tool For Solving Problems

Do you always assume there’s someone ‘out there’ who will find solutions for problems

our world faces?  What if that someone is you?  This introduction will tell you about

tools you can use to solve problems and make discoveries about our world.

 

Unit 1

STORMS

Weather Prediction/The Approaching Storm

Severe Weather/The Storm Center

The Effects Of Storms/Aftermath Of The Storm

 

Where do storms come from?  How do they form?  What kind of damage do they do? 

Are all of the effects of storms harmful?  The information in this unit will help you

understand the causes and effects of storms.

 

Unit 2

ECOLOGY

Biotic And Abiotic Factors/Organisms And Their Environments

Cycling Of Matter And Energy/Ecosystems In Balance

Changes In Ecosystems/Upsetting The Balance

 

Like parts of a mobile, ecosystems hang in a delicate balance.  If you disturb one part, all

parts are disturbed.  But over time a new balance is reached.  Whether it’s a forest, a coral

reef or a busy city, learn more about how ecosystems change and recover in Unit 2.

 

Unit 3

FOOD

Biochemistry/What’s In The Food You Eat?

Photosynthesis/Solar-Powered Recycling

Soil Formation/The Life-Giving Earth

Chemistry Of Food/From Field To Table

 

Food is the means by which organisms obtain energy to live.  But how does energy get

into the food?  How does an organism release that energy?  How do plants obtain energy? 

How is food preserved to keep it safe to eat?  The answers to these questions are served

up in Unit 3.

 

Unit 4

RESOURCES

Resources/Earth’s Limited Treasures

The Formation Of Resources/Finding Earth’s Treasures

Petroleum Chemistry/Petroleum Power

Recycling/Saving Limited Resources

 

Shiny black coal is one of the Earth’s most abundant, important resources.  What other

resources does Earth hold?  How are they extracted from Earth’s surface?  Can we make

sure the supply of coal and other important resources will last?  Dig into Unit 4 to find

out.

 

Unit 5

SHELTER

Earth’s Crust In Motion/Building On Stable Ground

Structures And Materials/Choosing The Right Materials

Forces And Machines/Building A House

Transfer Of Thermal Energy/Heating And Cooling

Electrical Energy/More Power To You

 

How do people solve the problems of providing shelter?  In this unit, find out how sites

are selected for buildings, what materials are used in construction, and how buildings are

heated, cooled and provided with electricity.  Pick up your hammer along with Unit 5 and

let’s get started.

 

Unit 6

DISEASE

Types Of Disease/Getting Sick

Preventing And Treating Disease/Maintaining Your Health

Detecting Disease/Examining The Causes Of Disease

 

You’re sneezing.  Your eyes are watering.  Is it an allergy?  The flu?  The common cold? 

Maybe you were exposed to a toxic substance.  How are disease detected and classified? 

How are they prevented?  Grab a tissue and turn to Unit 6 to find out.

 

Unit 7

FLIGHT

Physics Of Flight/Getting Off The Ground

Structures Of Flight/Soaring Birds And Planes

Physics Of Space Flight/Flying Beyond Earth’s Atmosphere

 

What forces and fuels enable birds, planes and helicopters to fly?  How is flight a

necessary part of the life cycle of some plants and fungi?  What forces do rockets use to

escape Earth’s gravity?  Unit 7 is a first-class ticket to answering these questions.

 

Please also see my posting of the BOOKS 4 How Science

STINKY SMELLY Experiments FAIRS Projects AGES 7-14. 

It’s 4 science and tech books for the whole family to use and enjoy

and show just how much fun, and how rewarding, science can be.

 

Please also see my posting of the GENERAL SCIENCE REAL

SCIENCE Fairs KIT Made Easy.  You will want to see this complete

science kit for ages 8-12 and the whole family to explore, investigate

and learn about the world of science together.

 

I have for sale a wonderful hands-on vintage book called THE BOY

ELECTRICIAN 1956 SCIENCE PROJECT.  This boy’s classic science

book is worth it’s weight in gold bouillons.   A lot of the supplies in the

General Science: Real Science kit can be used with the experiments in

THE BOY ELECTRICIAN book.

 

This is my private collection in a smoke-free environment.
