The Man Who Stayed Below

St Martins Pr

From Icelandic Solitaries to A Fold in the Light, this book brings together a selection of Alan Gould's finest poems spanning three decades. In this compilation of older and newly revised poems, Gould demonstrates that mastery of cadence and narrative style which has formed his moving body of work. These poems feature natural and personal subjects as well as dramatic formal experiments. They speak a language energized by psychological and historical necessity, yet chart that plane of metaphysical wondering - restive, delicate, haunting - which accords with our own experience.

Why does an apple look red? Students investigate light and color, experimenting with diffraction gratings and color filters. The front cover contains a secret message for use in class activities; another image shows how scientists use color in space exploration. Understanding color is challenging, but with these compelling activities, including creating and decoding secret messages, solid understanding can be achieved. Rewritten to enhance the activities, provide clearer alignment with standards and more meaningful assessments.

Color Analyzers

Sneider, Cary

GEMS-Regents of the Univ of CA

This GEMS guide is aimed at helping students arrive at a clear understanding of seasons as they investigate the connections between the Sun and Earth. Along the way, students take a "Trip to the Sun," determine the real shape of the Earth's orbit, evaluate actual data on world temperature and hours of sunlight in different locations, and model how the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth affects its concentration.Throughout these engaging activities, students gain important standards-based science and mathematics content and develop abilities essential in scientific investigation. A CD-ROM, included with this guide, offers a rich collection of helpful resources, software programs, and web links.This guide was developed in partnership with the NASA Office of Space Science Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (SECEF). For further astronomical teaching opportunities, see the GEMS guides Earth, Moon, and Stars, Moons of Jupiter, Living with a Star, Invisible Universe, and Messages from Space.

Developed in partnership with NASA, this unit introduces students to the electromagnetic spectrum and shows how astronomers can study the sky by detecting invisible light. After learning the types and properties of visible and invisible light, students tour our solar system and the universe investigating various celestial objects and the violent waves of radiation in space called gamma ray bursts.
