Glencoe Physical Science.
Charles W. McLaughlin and Marilyn Thompson. Glencoe Life, Earth, and Physical Science series. New York, N.Y.: Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, 1997.

Program Overview
The Glencoe Life, Earth, and Physical Science series includes 3 full-year courses--one in life, one in earth, and one in physical science--for students in grades 8 and above. Four major themes are developed: (1) energy, (2) systems and interactions, (3) scale and structure, and (4) stability and change. An extensive set of materials and resources, including many optional components, is available for students and teachers.

Student Edition
Recommended grade level: 8.
Reading level: middle 9. Glencoe Physical Science is divided into 7 units: (1) "Physical Science Basics"; (2) "Energy and Motion"; (3) "The Nature of Matter"; (4) "Kinds of Substances"; (5) "Interactions of Matter"; (6) "Waves, Light, and Sound"; and (7) "Electricity and Energy Resources."

During this course, students learn about motion and forces; acceleration and momentum; energy; simple machines; solids, liquids, and gases; atomic structure; chemical bonds; organic and biological compounds; solutions; chemical reactions; acids, bases, and salts; waves and sound; light; mirrors and lenses; electricity; magnetism and its uses; electronics and computers; nuclear reactions; and energy sources.

Sample lab activities in this textbook include making a model of a simple accelerometer, constructing a pendulum to compare the exchange of potential and kinetic energy, and constructing and analyzing a model of a 4-stroke engine. Students also design an experiment to show the relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas, they compare the solubility of a solute at different temperatures, and they distinguish between weak and strong acids by comparing ease of ionization.

Glencoe Physical Science has 25 chapters in its 7 units. Each chapter begins with a self-guided activity in which students make observations and generate questions about chapter concepts and topics. Reading sections on science concepts are then interwoven with various types of activities, including open-ended activities, minilabs (activities that can be done in class or at home), and skill-building or problem-solving activities. In activities for designing their own experiments, students brainstorm hypotheses, make a decision to investigate a hypothesis that can be tested, plan procedures, and think about why their hypothesis was supported or not. At the end of each unit is a cooperative "project" investigation, designed for students to work on throughout the unit.

Special features of the textbook include "connect to" marginal notes that relate basic questions in physics, chemistry, earth science, and life science to one another. The book also provides "science and society" features that invite students to confront real-life problems; profiles of people in science; and reading selections about connections between science, history, literature, and the arts.

Teacher's Edition
The wraparound teacher's edition provides information on curriculum integration, assessment, planning, and meeting the diverse needs of students. Each chapter contains a 4-page planning guide; strategies for preparing, teaching, and closing lessons; answers to in-text questions; tips on connecting physical science to other sciences, disciplines, or community resources; and different assessment options.

Supplementary Laboratory Manual
The supplementary lab manual offers 1 or more additional labs for each chapter. It has set-up diagrams, data tables, and space for student responses. Examples of investigations include observing how the concentration of a liquid affects its viscosity, using a calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal, distinguishing between physical and chemical changes, and using indicators to test unknown solutions for starch and sugar. In other investigations, students determine the relationship between reaction rate and temperature for the decomposition of sodium hypochlorite, measure the effects of distance and direction on light intensity, and record the growth patterns of plants grown from seeds that have been exposed to different amounts of radiation.

Program Resources and Support Materials
Glencoe Physical Science offers an extensive list of support materials and program resources, including the following: activity and reinforcement worksheets, science integration activities that relate earth and life science to specific physical science chapters, a critical-thinking/problem-solving book, a concept-mapping book, chapter review masters, a study guide, enrichment worksheets, a book on multicultural connections, technology-integration masters, assessments, computer test banks, color transparencies, a Spanish resources book, and interactive CD-ROM and videodisc programs.
