Its presence was first indicated in the Sun and not on Earth. Further, its discovery marked the birth of the new science of astrophysics. However, it turns out that the events leading to the discovery of helium have been rather misrepresented in books, journals, and even encyclopedias. The usual story about its joint discovery during a solar eclipse in 1868 by French astronomer Pierre Janssen and late in England by Norman Lockyer, is far from the truth. Janssen never mentioned any new spectral line in his reports. The actual story turns out to be as dramatic as in fiction. This book tells the story without jargon, using the words of the scientists themselves (from their letters and reports), and rescues the real story from the backwaters of history. 410 0$aAstronomers' Universe,$x1614-659X 606 $aAstrophysics$xHistory 615 0$aAstrophysics$xHistory. 676 $a523.0109 700 $aNath$b Biman B$0968596 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438109403321 996 $aThe Story of Helium and the Birth of Astrophysics$92200076 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02907oam 2200649I 450 001 9910966034303321 005 20251116155528.0 010 $a1-136-59929-0 010 $a0-203-06372-4 010 $a1-283-88421-6 010 $a1-136-59922-3 024 7 $a10.4324/9780203063729 035 $a(CKB)2550000000710190 035 $a(EBL)1099213 035 $a(OCoLC)823389293 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000810594 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11499141 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000810594 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10832657 035 $a(PQKB)11695743 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1099213 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10638904 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL419671 035 $a(OCoLC)847599487 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1099213 035 $a(OCoLC)1034899524 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB138889 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000710190 100 $a20130331d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aChallenges in primary science $emeeting the needs of able young scientists at Key Stage Two /$fDavid Coates and Helen Wilson 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aAbingdon, Oxon $cDavid Fulton Publishers$d2003 210 1$aAbingdon, Oxon ;$aNew York, N.Y. :$cDavid Fulton Publishers,$d2003. 215 $a1 online resource (111 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a1-138-16460-7 311 08$a1-84312-013-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Challenges in Primary Science: Meeting the Needs of Able Young Scientists at Key Stage Two; Copyright; Contents; Acknowledgements; 1 Introduction; 2 Planning for challenge; 3 Assessment; 4 Sc1 Scientific enquiry; 5 Sc2 Life processes and living things; 6 Sc3 Materials and their properties; 7 Sc4 Physical processes; References; Index 330 $aThis practical and easy-to-use book enables teachers to challenge able children to develop their potential and to extend their thinking in primary science. It links theory to practice to develop understanding of what it means to be an able scientist; and empowers teachers to build on their existing good practice to build an inclusive science curriculum for able children. Special features include: photocopiable resources that are linked to the National Curriculum and the QCA schemes of work; teacher guidance on the use of these resources and how they can be incorporated into no 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching (Elementary) 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching (Elementary) 676 $a372.35044 700 $aCoates$b David$f1948-$01860846 701 $aWilson$b Helen$01683058 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966034303321 996 $aChallenges in primary science$94466757 997 $aUNINA
