Pearson Saskatchewan Science 8. Student Edition
Saskatchewan Science 8 is custom published for Saskatchewan and developed by a team of Saskatchewan teachers. At the beginning of each unit, the Big Ideas box sets the focus for the unit. A Big Idea then provides the title for each section in the unit. Throughout the unit, opportunities are provided for students to work together, communicate ideas, perform experiments and carry out library and Internet research. Key vocabulary is bolded throughout the unit and an explanation of each term is provided. All key terms and explanations are also listed in a glossary at the back of the text. First Nations and Métis content, perspectives and ways of knowing are an integral part of the Saskatchewan science text. Highlights of the activities and achievements of Saskatchewan men and women are provided in the Ask an Elder, Ask an Expert and Careers and Profiles features. In each unit, the Ask an Elder feature provides access to the wisdom of a First Nations or Métis Elder or Traditional Knowledge Keeper, who shares an oral story related to the content of that unit.

Light
This introductory DVD from the Elements of Physics series provides overviews of concepts related to light, mirrors and optics. It describes how scientists' understanding of refraction and reflection developed. Practical applications of these concepts are presented. The final segment reviews some of the basic principles of electricity and telecommunications that have impacted our lives.

Transformed. How Everyday Things are Made
Slavin shows the process of how objects are changed from raw materials to the finished products. He uses common items that students are familiar with, such as baseballs. Each two-page spread describes how the object is made by breaking the process down into steps. Illustrations complement the text and show the technology behind the science. Slavin demonstrates the connection between science and technology in making objects. The book includes a table of contents, a glossary, suggestions for further research and an index.

The Science of Light
The first part of this DVD distinguishes between objects that emit light and those that require an external source of light to be viewed. It shows how light is reflected and how the colour of an object is determined by the amount of light that is reflected or absorbed. Midway through the program is an explanation of what happens during a solar eclipse, along with various narratives that have been used to explain this phenomenon. Other sources of light such as lasers are considered.

Light: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It
This resource from the Stop Faking It! Series helps teachers deepen their understanding of science concepts related to optics. The author addresses teachers' concerns about content and helps to fill in any gaps of understanding that may exist. Emphasis is on "getting" the science rather than on memorizing facts and formulas. This book explores ray, wave and particle models of light, reflection and refraction, optical instruments, polarization of light and interference and diffraction. A chapter about how the eye works is also included, as well as links throughout the book to websites. Each chapter includes a section entitled Things to Do before You Read the Science Stuff, as well as The Science Stuff. By addressing foundational concepts about light in an exploratory manner, this book helps to build background knowledge and understanding.
A light kit is enclosed with this book. It includes three colour gels (red, blue, yellow), three sheets of polarized film and one diffraction grating peephole.
