* Inclusion of realistic 3D simulations that behave very much like the real thing. This isn't just setting a value and reading something off the screen. These incorporate the physicality of the experiments, which might mean positioning yourself so that a moving needle can be seen accurately by using your position to remove parallax. * Based on academic research into teaching online. * Coverage of all of the required practicals (AQA). * Inclusion of background information on each experiment. * Detailed accounts of how to perform the experiment for real or with the simulation. * The simulations have the Association for Science's Green Tick of approval.

Provide full coverage of the required practicals and build students' working scientifically skills with questions that enable them to apply their knowledge to new contexts. - Extend knowledge and build working scientifically skills with 'Further Application' sections that provide additional questions to allow students to practice applying their knowledge. - Help guide students through the practical, the analysis of results, and generating a reasoned conclusion with scaffolded questions. - Get exam ready with exam-style questions, guidance on how practicals are assessed, a list of useful equations, and a checklist to monitor progress. - Cover all the required practicals with methods provided, complete with safety notes and guidance on equipment.

Read this book if you care about students really understanding physics and getting genuine intellectual satisfaction from doing so. Read it too if you fear that this goal is out of reach you may be surprised Laurence Viennot here shows ways to deal with the awkward fact that common sense thinking is often not the same as scientific thinking. She analyses examples of frequent and widespread errors and confusions, which provide a real eye-opener for the teacher. More than that, she shows ways to avoid and overcome them. The book argues against over-emphasis on fun applications, demonstrating that students also enjoy and value clear thinking.
The book has three parts:
making sense of special scientific ways of reasoning (words, images, functions)
making connections between very different topics, each illuminating the other
simplifying, looking for consistency and avoiding incoherent over-simplification
The book is enhanced with supplementary online materials that will allow readers to further expand their teaching or research interests and think about them more deeply."
