Science for Every Teacher: A Primer Any Adult Can Read, Volume 1: Physics

K-8 teachers and homeschooling parents teach many subjects with ease. They can teach math, reading, and history all day long. No problem. But when it comes to teaching science, many teachers feel a little trepidation. You want your kids to love science, and you want to BE their inspiration. But if you don't have a background in science, you might wish for more confidence and depth. So what's a teacher to do? Dig through some advanced textbooks? Not likely. Surf the Internet? Too unorganized and unreliable. Take online courses? Too...everything - expensive, time-consuming, inconvenient. Now you can get the background knowledge you need. Enhance professionalism, lead stronger lectures and presentations, give accurate and thorough answers to questions, prepare students for future science studies, and who knows - perhaps inspire a future scientist. What happens when students ask questions that go beyond their text? Or if the explanations in the text are incomplete or unclear? An actual example that inspired the writing of this book happened one afternoon when a 5th grade teacher lamented, "I had a student ask me if photons had mass. I had no idea." Science for Every Teacher is your solution. Just read the chapter that deals with your topic and get the real explanation. This book is written at a level that any adult can understand, even without prior training or college coursework in science. Each volume provides a thorough and accurate introduction to the subject. Content is written in a clear style, with every term and concept defined and explained in its place. The pace is unhurried, and examples and applications make the science vivid and practical.
