Labs will use common household items as much as possible. Here are some of the features I like about this book: · Emphasis on understanding CONCEPTS rather than memorizing. · The friendly writing style weaves real-world applications into the text and presents physical science in a way that is accessible to students. The text captures students' attention and motivates them to learn. · An engaging art program uses analogies and clear examples to illustrate difficult concepts and reduce student anxiety. · Learning Objectives at the start of each chapter help students focus on the most important topics and set out a clear pathway for learning. · Hands-On Explorations, found throughout the book, promote active learning by allowing students to apply concepts they have learned in the classroom. These easy-to-perform experiments, which use common household products, can be conducted at home or during lectures. · Link To boxes show the connection between the physical sciences and other areas such as biology and technology. · Concept Checks at the end of each section provide reinforcement of key concepts and test students' understanding of what they have just learned. · Calculation Corners help students practice the math skills they need to perform relevant calculations. · . The Conceptual Physical Science — Explorations Web site offers a wealth of helpful resources including the much praised interactive and animated tutorials, streaming videos, Next Time Questions, quizzes, and much more Other materials provided via the web will include labs sheets, worksheets. And some other online book content |
