Real Life Science 4-Book Set
This science series turns students’ everyday curiosity into scientific
exploration. How does a microwave oven heat food? What
causes an ice cream headache? How does sunless
tanning work? Can hydrogen power become a reality?
These are the types of questions high school
students often ask, without considering the scientific
implications behind them. Now Real-Life Science
looks at these questions, and dozens more like them,
to address the scientific principles at work all around
us in our everyday lives. Each title in this engaging
series — Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth
Science — addresses 25 questions that uncover
real-life science applications. The result is an immediate
connection between personal experiences
and academic material. The 25 topics in each
book were chosen by science educators, based
on their students’ actual questions. Each title
includes a chart indicating which NSE standards
each topic addresses.
