science

Offers a guide to skeptical thinking and debunks some of the scientific myths, fallacies, and conspiracy theories.

". . . demystifies the chemistry of everyday life, serving up practical knowledge to both inform and entertain. Guaranteed to satiate your hunger for palatable and relevant scientific information, Dr. Joe Schwarcz proves that 'chemical' is not necessarily synonymous with 'toxic' . . . Cutting through the fat of story, suggestion, and social-media speculation, 'A Feast of Science' gets to the meat of the chemical reactions that make up our daily lives"--Provided by publisher.

"The archaeological evidence of Tenochtitlan isn't just impressive from a historical perspective, it is also remarkable from a STEM standpoint, too. After all, it reveals one . . . fact about the Aztecs: they were an . . . advanced civilization who utilized many science, math, technology, and engineering practices in the construction of their metropolis. This fact is made evident by the . . . structures, artwork, and artifacts that this long-lost people left behind deep underneath present-day Mexico City. Throughout this text, we'll be exploring some of the achievements of the Aztecs and how this people who lived some 500 years ago was able to use . . . STEM skills to build one of the grandest cities in the Americas--and the world--at that time"--Provided by publisher.

"Photos and fun-fact filled text let readers discover how scientists suit up, gown up, gear up, even dress up in costume to do their jobs . . . [Readers] meet real scientists facing the challenges of making new discoveries, saving lives and saving our planet--whether they're floating weightless in space or swimming with endangered whale sharks, digging out snow samples from a frozen glacier or gathering hot lava from a burning volcano, rescuing a wild bald eagle or operating on a human brain"--Provided by publisher.

Describes various career options for people who work in agriculture and food development, with an emphasis on how science, technology, engineering, art, and math are needed in this type of work. Also outlines specific jobs available within the field, STEAM job facts, and more.

"[Presents] 20 fun, easy-to-follow step-by-step projects . . . [to help preschoolers] learn about STEAM topics (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). Topics include symmetry and how light bounces to create reflections with mirror mandalas, diffusion and capillary action with tie dye towels, structural framing and bracing with marshmallow structures, and electrical currents with salty circuits"--Provided by technology.

Discusses how integrating the arts into the already initiated STEM area (science, technology, engineering and math) would give students the skills needed to be more successful in learning.

"The books is about science facts and how cats react to them"--.

Adelaide and Bear team up to demonstrate to the entire class, including Mrs. Fitz-Pea, that bears make the best science buddies. Includes the steps of the scientific method and instructions for conducting four experiments.
