Nations around the globe consider physics education an important tool of economic and social development and currently advocate the use of innovative strategies to prepare students for knowledge and skills acquisition. Particularly in the last decade, a series of revisions were made to physics curricula in an attempt to cope with the changing needs and expectations of society. Educational transformation is a major challenge due to educational systems' resistance to change. Updated curriculum content, pedagogical facilities (for example, computers in a school), new teaching and learning strategies and the prejudice against girls in physics classes are all issues that have to be addressed. Educational research provides a way to build schemas and resources to promote changes in physics education. This volume presents physics teaching and learning research connected with the main educational scenarios.

Light and sound help us recognize objects and noises!

* 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.

Provides banks of questions to address the requirements of the revised CCEA GCSE Physics specification and covers both the full Physics course and the Physics component of Double Award Science. Questions are entirely new, not from past papers and suitable for use as classroom material, for use in homework and to assist with revision.

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."
