Grounded in best practices and current research, this hands-on resource connects the dots that link brain activity, motor and sensory development, movement, and early learning. The expert authors unveil the Kinetic Scale: a visual map of the active learning needs of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and primary graders that fits each child's…

This tennis stroke analysis, based on the application of biomechanic principles, is designed to help those who play tennis only once or twice a week. It is noted that, because the tennis player has a limited power potential, the only way to increase his racket head speed is to rotate his body. The mechanics of tennis are discussed by dividing it…

This unit of instruction deals with the study of both physical and chemical systems in equilibrium. It provides the student with instruction that will enable him to predict products in solubility, acid-base, and oxidation-reduction reactions and to write and balance equations for these reactions and solve problems involving equilibria constants.…

Discusses the average speed differences between hydrogen and oxygen molecules contained in a jar. (YP)

This document presents an outline for a 135-hour course designed to provide the student with all the skills, technical knowledge, safety practices, and general information that is required to understand the theory of operation, to diagnose, and to service the units that make up the power flow system of the automobile. The course of study includes…

This booklet is one of a set of eight designed to be used in a self-paced introductory chemistry course in conjunction with specified textbooks and computer-assisted instruction (CAI) modules. Each topic is introduced with a textbook reading assignment and additional readings are provided in the booklet. Also included are self-tests (and answers),…

This booklet is both a teacher's manual and a student's manual in a series of booklets that make up the core of a Physical Science course designed for the freshman year of college and used by teachers in the 27 colleges participating in the Thirteen College Curriculum Program. This program is a curriculum revision project in support of 13…

This is part of a series of 42 Calculus Based Physics (CBP) modules totaling about 1,000 pages. The modules include study guides, practice tests, and mastery tests for a full-year individualized course in calculus-based physics based on the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI). The units are not intended to be used without outside materials;…

This teacher's guide is for the second year of the Portland Project, a three-year integrated secondary science curriculum sequence. The first of two parts in this volume, "Motion and Energy," begins with the study of motion, going from the quantitative description to a consideration of what causes motion and a discussion of Newton's…
