About this title

Synopsis

Nelson Science & Technology is a comprehensive set of resources for students and teachers. The resources are designed to address overall and specific expectations outlined for Grade 7 and 8 in the Ontario Curriculum and are matched to the outcomes of Science in Manitoba and the Atlantic Canada Science Curriculum. The instructional design promotes strong contextualization of scientific and technological concepts, solid skill development, and real-world application of concepts and skills. For maximum flexibility, this series is available in both hardcover text and individual softcover units - each unit designed to be taught in six to eight weeks.

About the Author

Alan J. Hirsch cherishes his experiences teaching high school physics, science, and mathematics in Ontario for 31 years. His classrooms became the inspiration and experimental incubator for many textbooks that bear his name. He developed and wrote Ontario’s first textbook written exclusively for college-bound students, Physics: A Practical Approach (Wiley: 1st ed. 1981; 2nd ed. 1991). He was also the sole author of Physics for a Modern World (a Grade 11 academic text; Wiley: 1986), and Physics 12 College Preparation (Nelson: 2004). He was a co-author of Nelson Physics 11 (2002), Nelson Physics 12 (2003), as well as Physics for Tomorrow’s World (with Ernie McFarland), which became the basis for this current text (Nelson: Revised 2nd ed. 2012). He has also co-authored 13 science texts for Grades 7 to 10 for use across Canada. Several of these physics and science texts have been translated into French, and Physics for a Modern World was adapted for use in Australia. For several years, he also wrote amusement-park workbooks and coordinated model roller coaster contests for the annual physics/math day at Canada’s Wonderland, near Toronto, where he had no choice but to ride the coasters to verify data!
