The decline in the quality of American public school instruction,
particularly in science and mathematics, is a well-documented
subject of concern for our nation. This book examines the
educational systems in Japan, the People's Republic of China, East
and West Germany, and the Soviet Union, countries that have
developed particularly innovative app
A thorough grounding in contemporary physics while placing the
subject into its social and historical context. Based largely on
the highly respected Project Physics Course developed by two of the
authors, it also integrates the results of recent pedagogical
research. The text thus teaches the basic phenomena in the physical
world and the concepts developed to explain them; shows that
science is a rational human endeavour with a long and continuing
tradition, involving many different cultures and people; develops
facility in critical thinking, reasoned argumentation, evaluation
of evidence, mathematical modelling, and ethical values. The
treatment emphasises not only what we know but also how we know it,
why we believe it, and what effects this knowledge has.

This book, a companion to the textbook, is your guide to observations and explorations in the world of physics. Prepare for challenging work, fun, and some surprises. One of the best ways to learn physics is by doing physics, in the laboratory and everywhere. One cannot rely on reading and class work alone. The explorations in this book are your opportunity to gain some actual, hands-on experience with physics. Many of these explorations will assist you to design your own experiments and to discover many of the important ideas of science yourself.||As you will see from the Contents, this ¿Student Guide¿ provides a variety of potentially helpful materials. Following the Introduction is a review of units, mathematics, and scientific notation, and a list of suggest further reading and Web Sites. However, a large portion of the ¿Student Guide¿ contains further materials relating to many of the textbook chapters, as well as to laboratory explorations. In the section containing ¿Further Chapter Materials¿ you will find elaborations on topics in many of the chapters, as well as derivations of important equations. A complete list of the suggested mini- and major-laboratory explorations is also given in the Contents. Each explorations is keyed to specific portions of the textbook, and lists are also provided of the explorations pertaining to each part of the text.||There are actually three types of laboratory explorations in this book: ¿mini-laboratories,¿ ¿major laboratories,¿ and some suggested ¿laboratory activities.¿ The mini-laboratories are hands-on experiences and demonstrations that enable you to observe and study an event in nature, either in class or in a laboratory. The major laboratories are designed for more in-depth exploration. Finally, the laboratory activities provide ideas for ways in which you might design your own investigations. All three types of explorations are closely tied to the material in the book.
