Description:

_Roine Magnusson Stone_, *The Nature of Matter*. This pancake ice has formed on a river in Sweden. Pancake ice forms when surface slush, arising from snow falling on water that is already at the freezing temperature, freezes. The surface slush collects into rounded floating pads that collide and separate. Copyright © 2005 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.

Why do I need my science book? Have you ever been in class and not understood all of what was presented? Or, you understood everything in class, but at home, got stuck on how to answer a question? Maybe you just wondered when you were ever going to use this stuff? These next few pages are designed to help you understand everything your science book can be used for. Besides a paperweight! Before You Read: Chapter Opener Science is occurring all around you, and the opening photo of each chapter will preview the science you will be learning about. The Chapter Preview will give you an idea of what you will be learning about, and you can try the Launch Lab to help get your brain headed in the right direction. The Foldables exercise is a fun way to keep you organized. Section Opener: Chapters are divided into two to four sections. The As You Read in the margin of the first page of each section will let you know what is most important in the section. It is divided into four parts. What You’ll Learn will tell you the major topics you will be covering. Why It’s Important will remind you why you are studying this in the first place! The Review Vocabulary word is a word you already know, either from your science studies or your prior knowledge. The New Vocabulary words are words that you need to learn to understand this section. These words will be in boldfaced print and highlighted in the section. Make a note to yourself to recognize these words as you are reading the section. As You Read: Headings Each section has a title in large red letters, and is further divided into blue titles and small red titles at the beginnings of some paragraphs. To help you study, make an outline of the headings and subheadings. Margins In the margins of your text, you will find many helpful resources. The Science Online exercises and Integrate activities help you explore the topics you are studying. MiniLabs reinforce the science concepts you have learned. Building Skills: You also will find an Applying Math or Applying Science activity in each chapter. This gives you extra practice using your new knowledge, and helps prepare you for standardized tests. Student Resources: At the end of the book you will find Student Resources to help you throughout your studies. These include Science, Technology, and Math Skill Handbooks, an English Spanish Glossary, and an Index. Also, use your Foldables as a resource. It will help you organize information, and review before a test. In Class: Remember, you can always ask your teacher to explain anything you don’t understand. Science Vocabulary Make the following Foldable to help you understand the vocabulary terms in this chapter. STEP 1 Fold a vertical sheet of notebook paper from side to side. STEP 2 Cut along every third line of only the top layer to form tabs. STEP 3 Label each tab with a vocabulary word from the chapter. Build Vocabulary As you read the chapter, list the vocabulary words on the tabs. As you learn the definitions, write them under the tab for each vocabulary word. Look For: At the beginning of every section. In Lab: Working in the laboratory is one of the best ways to understand the concepts you are studying. Your book will be your guide through your laboratory experiences, and help you begin to think like a scientist. In it, you not only will find the steps necessary to follow the investigations, but you also will find helpful tips to make the most of your time. Remember, experiments do not always produce the result you expect. Scientists have made many discoveries based on investigations with unexpected results. You can try the experiment again to make sure your results were accurate, or perhaps form a new hypothesis to test. Keeping a Science Journal is how scientists keep accurate records of observations and data. In your journal, you also can write any questions that may arise during your investigation. This is a great method of reminding yourself to find the answers later. Before a Test: Admit it! You don’t like to take tests! However, there are ways to review that make them less painful. Your book will help you be more successful taking tests if you use the resources provided to you. Review all of the New Vocabulary words and be sure you understand their definitions. Review the notes you’ve taken on your Foldables, in class, and in lab. Write down any question that you still need answered. Review the Summaries and Self Check questions at the end of each section. Study the concepts presented in the chapter by reading the Study Guide and answering the questions in the Chapter Review. Look For: Reading Checks and caption questions throughout the text. The Summaries and Self Check questions at the end of each section. The Study Guide and Review at the end of each chapter. The Standardized Test Practice after each chapter. Let’s Get Started: To help you find the information you need quickly, use the Scavenger Hunt below to learn where things are located in Chapter 1. What is the title of this chapter? What will you learn in Section 1? Sometimes you may ask, “Why am I learning this?” State a reason why the concepts from Section 2 are important. What is the main topic presented in Section 2? How many reading checks are in Section 1? What is the Web address where you can find extra information? What is the main heading above the sixth paragraph in Section 2? There is an integration with another subject mentioned in one of the margins of the chapter. What subject is it? List the new vocabulary words presented in Section 2. List the safety symbols presented in the first Lab. Where would you find a Self Check to be sure you understand the section? Suppose you’re doing the Self Check and you have a question about concept mapping. Where could you find help? On what pages are the Chapter Study Guide and Chapter Review? Look in the Table of Contents to find out on which page Section 2 of the chapter begins. You complete the Chapter Review to study for your chapter test. Where could you find another quiz for more practice?
