This is a companion textbook for an introductory course in physics. It aims to link the theories and models that students learn in class with practical problem-solving techniques. In other words, it should address the common complaint that 'I understand the concepts but I can't do the homework or tests'. The fundamentals of introductory physics courses are addressed in simple and concise terms, with emphasis on how the fundamental concepts and equations should be used to solve physics problems.

What do you say when your child asks you, "where do we come from?" Many Americans respond with the Biblical story of creation but this is not the case in other countries. Religion is an important part of our culture and history but more truth about our natural world is being revealed every day. This is the story of our universe and the journey that humanity is making through it. The discussion is presented in a manner that young people can understand and particular attention is given to the difference between "belief" and "knowledge." It touches briefly on speculation about the existence of the soul and how various cultures deal with that issue but the primary intent is to provide facts based upon what we actually 'know' about our universe. This is a straightforward discussion for parents and young people who value truth over belief and fact over mythology. If that describes you, then you are likely to embrace the information with relief and wonder why it took so long for someone to address this controversial topic so directly.A Country Cop Books publication.

Chemistry is a conceptual subject and, in order to explain many of the concepts, teachers use models to describe the microscopic world and relate it to the macroscopic properties of matter. This can lead to problems, as a student's every-day experiences of the world and use of language can contradict the ideas put forward in chemical science. These titles have been designed to help tackle this issue of misconceptions. Part 1 deals with the theory, by including information on some of the key alternative conceptions that have been uncovered by research; ideas about a variety of teaching approaches that may prevent students acquiring some common alternative conceptions; and general ideas for assisting students with the development of appropriate scientific conceptions. Part 2 provides strategies for dealing with some of the misconceptions that students have, by including ready to use classroom resources including copies of probes that can be used to identify ideas held by students; some specific exercises aimed at challenging some of the alternative ideas; and classroom activities that will help students to construct the chemical concepts required by the curriculum. Used together, these two books will provide a good theoretical underpinning of the fundamentals of chemistry. Trialled in schools throughout the UK, they are suitable for teaching ages 11-18.
