This book seeks to narrow the current gap between educational research and classroom practice in the teaching of physics. It makes a detailed analysis of research findings derived from experiments involving pupils, students and teachers in the field. Clear guidelines are laid down for the development and evaluation of sequences, drawing attention to "critical details" of the practice of teaching that may spell success or failure for the project. It is intended for researchers in science teaching, teacher trainers and teachers of physics.

Many problems in classical mechanics can now be readily solved using computers. This text integrates Maple, a general-purpose symbolic computation program, into the traditional sophomore- or junior-level mechanics course. Intended primarily as a supplement to a standard text, it discusses all the topics usually covered in the course and shows how to solve problems using Maple and how to display solutions graphically to gain further insight. The text is self-contained and can also be used for self-study or as the primary text in a mechanics course.

How to be Brilliant at Materials contains 42 photocopiable sheets for use with 7-11 year olds. The practical activities will help children to acquire knowledge and understanding of the way materials are classified, how they can be changed and ways of separating different materials. The sheets are closely linked to the National Curriculum Attainment Target Sc3: Materials and their Properties.

Now it's easy to locate the materials you need to implement the new NCTM math standards. Organized by such math topics as problem solving, estimation, number sense and numeration, and geometry and spatial relationships, this book shows users where to find manipulatives and materials, such as attribute blocks, pattern blocks, clocks, scales, multilink cubes and prisms, calculators, and sorting toys. It also lists specialized math books, computer software, and a host of other learning materials (e.g., activity cards, puzzles, posters, games, reproducibles). The author briefly describes each product, cites grade level when given, and explains possible applications. Products of exceptional quality and value are highlighted, and the addresses of publishers and suppliers are given. A real time-saver! Grades K-4.

Physics practical classes form an important part of many scientific and technical courses in higher education. In addition to the older standard experiments, such practicals now generally include a few computer-controlled experiments developed in association with the research groups active in the particular university or college. Since there is relatively little exchange of information between the teaching staff of different institutes, the personal computer, despite its ubiquity, is underexploited in this role as a teaching aid. The present book provides a detailed description of a number of computer-controlled experiments suitable for practical classes. Both the relevant physics and the computational techniques are presented in a form that enables the readers to construct and/or perform the experiment themselves.
