The classic sci-fi novels of H.G. Wells, Robert Heinlein, and Arthur C. Clarke, along with hundreds of sci-fi movies and TV shows, have explored an array of exotic, at times mind-bending themes, among them the existence of intelligent aliens, time travel, and parallel universes. One often asked question is whether such things are scientifically plausible. In this volume, modern physicists and other scientists weigh in and try to answer that question.
Science Frontiers explores the phenomena that science has yet to conquer. With a look at the history of the topic, recent discoveries, and the questions that remain, these books offer a cutting-edge, comprehensive look at some of science's biggest challenges.
Check out some of science’s biggest mistakes and most glaringly incorrect assumptions. With spreads devoted to the most surprising stories, these books reveal how scientific thought has changed over time. Even reluctant science students will be drawn into these strange—and often funny—tales throughout science history. Readers will learn how new forms of technology and bold thinkers changed the ways we see the world around us—and the ways we study it.
Electricity, vibration, gravity, magnetism, and refraction are all science curriculum topics that can seem complicated and even a little boring to many of us. But when paired with colourful diagrams, pop quizzes, and interesting facts, these science subjects can be exciting. These books on electricity, forces, light, sound, and the states of matter cover all the major points of each topic in a relatable and high-energy way.
From body image and the enhancement industry to climate change and renewable energy needs, the big issues of today’s headlines are examined in the light of how science is bringing new opportunities, change and progress (and questionable progress) to daily life.
The Science Investigations series centers scientific inquiry by providing readers with hands-on experiences with the world around them. These books use scientific and engineering practices to investigate everything from the planet beneath our feet to the forces all around us. Topics include matter and its properties; force, motion, and energy; Earth and space; and organisms and environments. Readers are encouraged to think like scientists as they ask questions, gather information, and conduct ex
Modeling is an essential tool in every scientist's arsenal. Physical models, computer simulations, and written descriptions are just a few modeling techniques scientists employ to test hypotheses, illustrate concepts, and refine their ideas. Aligned to the NextGen Science Standards, this deep-diving series guides readers through the process of making their own models that relate to key scientific concepts. Readers learn how to evaluate the merits of their models, make improvements, and communica
This series delves into the science of earth and space, life, and technology, while engaging readers in the process of scientific inquiry. Each book will use the voice of a scientist or lab technician to take the reader through several fictional-but fact-based experiments. Through the journal notes of the narrator’s own problem, prediction, experiment and results, the readers will see the scientific process in action.
Uncover the truth about science's most enduring myths and how they got busted. Discover how scientists proved the truth about animals, dinosaurs, the Earth, medicine, nutrition, space, technology, and weather. Twelve engaging spreads feature surprising facts, easy-to-follow information, and brilliant images to bring these busted myths to life.
