Excerpt from Physics
In the preparation of this text, the pupil, his experience, needs, and interests have been constantly kept in mind. The order of topics, illustrations, and problems have been selected with the purpose of leading the pupil into a clear understanding of the physical phenomena continually taking place about him.
The recommendations and conclusions reached by the "New Movement in the Teaching of Physics" have been incorporated into the book as a whole. These conclusions indicate that the most efficient teaching in physics involves a departure from the quantitative, mathematical methods of presentation that were in general use a dozen or more years ago, toward a method better adapted to the capabilities, interests, and requirements of the young people in our physics classes.
The older methods are effective with a portion of the student body which has the greater mathematical ability and training, but they discourage a large majority of the pupils who are not gifted or prepared for severe mathematical analysis. For this reason, many of the more difficult mathematical demonstrations often given in physics texts are omitted. Most of the problems involve only the units employed in practical every-day measurements.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book establishes an introduction to foundational physics principles. Designed to simplify the transition from observational phenomena to scientific understanding, the author guides readers through a physics framework one concept at a time. Beginning with a survey of the three states of matter, the text proceeds to develop molecular theories which explain the dynamics of matter at a subatomic level. The book's distinct approach positions readers to understand the fundamental particles which constitute all matter and the forces that act upon them. This thorough exploration of physics provides readers with a framework for viewing our world and the universe beyond through the lens of scientific principles.
