In Science Myths Unmasked Volume 2, David Rudel continues to expose
common errors in science education. This sequel takes the
discussion into the realm of physical science, rectifying commonly
taught misconceptions about topics covered in chemistry and physics
courses, including combustion, simple machines, states of matter,
phase changes, electricity, and light.
Rudel's accessible style makes Science Myths Unmasked a
worthwhile read for life-long learners and a great gift for bright
high school students interested in all the myths they have been
taught by inaccurate textbooks. State-adopted textbooks perpetrate
(and perpetuate) a shocking degree of misinformation, largely
because they are less interested in conveying accurate science than
in training students to bubble in the right oval on
multiple-choice, standardized tests.
Rudel provides thorough background for each topic, empowering
science teachers to sculpt the material to match the needs of their
students. Numerous illustrations and suggested experiments
complement the coverage, portraying precisely why many standard
explanations are false and how we can better fulfill our obligation
to provide genuine science to middle school and high school
students.
