<p>Gifted students have the potential to learn material earlier and faster, to handle more abstraction, and to solve complex problems better. This potential, however, needs stimulating experiences from home and school or it will not unfold. These books are designed to help teachers provide the stimulating curricula that will nurture this potential in school. The Science book includes a medical simulation in which teams of students work as doctors to diagnose patients' cases, a food science project in which students use a variety of information gathering techniques to learn how nutrition impacts performance, a hands-on study of human memory and expertise, and a study of the physics of sports.</p>

This fictional story is about making elder care decisions. It tells of George, Verna, Doris, and other elders who have been admitted over time to St. Matthew Nursing Home - their final home - due to dementia or other debilitating medical conditions. Each of them questions how they landed here, as they live their final days and years in this unfamiliar place. Some are content, while others are desperate to go back home. Family members are also woven into the story, discussing their guilt over their reasoning for choosing a nursing facility. This book considers the options families have, including providing home care services versus the 24/7 nursing care provided in a nursing home. You also hear from the staff of St. Matthew, presenting their views, frustrations, and passion to do the right thing. What would you do if the decision was about your mother, or if you were part of the nursing home staff? She Presents Well delves into the issues we all have to face. About the Author A native of Buffalo, New York, Kenneth J. Smith came to Boston for college and stayed 31 years.

"I have been a home health administrator and a nursing facility administrator, and have volunteered in nursing facilities for many years.
