Cut And Paste Science

Each book in this series provides a variety of motivating, interactive activities to help young students master concepts and content. The "cut and paste" format allows students to try a variety of possibilities before gluing down their final answers.

Full-color materials help busy teachers present fun-to-do activities. Each standards-based lesson has one or more clearly stated objectives. Topics covered include: the five senses; plants; animals; life cycles; the human body; the water cycle; seasons; fossils; dinosaurs; natural resources; solids, liquids & gases; magnets; the concepts of sink and float.

"Offers a variety of exercises that will help your child practice scissor skills and other readiness basics, such as story order, counting, matching, and beginning sounds. The interesting activities with clear directions will provide hours of educational fun for your child"--Page 4 of cover

Inquiry-based and easy-to-follow activities help students develop positive attitudes toward science. The experiments are aligned with national standards and cover the areas of physical, earth, and life science as well as health.

Melvin learns how to deal with disappointment.

This book is meant to strengthen your child's fine motor skills. This workbook is a bind-up of three of our "Basic Skills" titles, including "My First Book of Cutting," "My Book of Pasting," and "My First Book of Drawing."

Computing Science is a science of constructive methods. The solution of a problem has to be described formally by constructive techniques, if it is to be evaluated on a computer. The Marktoberdorf Advanced Study Institute 1988 presented a comprehensive survey of the recent research in constructive methods in Computing Science. Some approaches to a methodological framework and to supporting tools for specification, development and verification of software systems were discussed in detail. Other lectures dealt with the relevance of the foundations of logic for questions of program construction and with new programming paradigms and formalisms which have proven to be useful for a constructive approach to software development. The construction, specification, design and verification especially of distributed and communicating systems was discussed in a number of complementary lectures. Examples for those approaches were given on several levels such as semaphores, nondeterministic state transition systems with fairness assumptions, decomposition of specifications for concurrent systems in liveness and safety properties and functional specifications of distributed systems. Construction methods in programming that were presented range from type theory, the theory of evidence, theorem provers for proving properties of functional programs to category theory as an abstract and general concept for the description of programming paradigms.
