(closeout) Experiments for Introductory Physics

Experiments for Introductory Physics

This book contains the teacher's instructions for five lab experiments for Introductory Physics, included in Timberdoodle's eleventh-grade curriculum kit. Each experiment includes learning objectives, a materials list, a statement of the purpose of the experiment, an overview, pre-lab discussion points, the teacher's experiment protocols, any safety precautions, and a discussion of the use of any special apparatus. For some experiments calling for expensive equipment, alternative methods are suggested with less costly equipment.

Experiments for Introductory Physics also includes lab experiment instructions for another title by the same publisher, Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry (ASPC). All of the five experiments for Introductory Physics also pertain to ASPC, and an additional sixth lab experiment is uniquely for ASPC.

High school lab experiments put students in the mode of the scientist and demonstrate how scientific investigation works. Such experiments are an opportunity to learn proper laboratory skills and methods for college and beyond. Lab experiments illustrate concepts learned in the classroom while introducing students to laboratory apparatus. They also enhance the course experience with an interesting tactile activity. These experiments have the power to reveal to students the importance of accuracy, precision, and attention to detail like few other activities in life can.

About Introductory Physics Bundle
Introductory Physics incorporates math, history, and science using understandable graphics and conversational text. This religious text is designed to challenge your student to learn, master, and retain core knowledge about physics. Unlike other science courses, the subject matter is intentionally limited to the central and essential material. Specific learning objectives are presented at the beginning of each chapter so that students know what they need to learn. Basic skills are embedded in exercises throughout the book so that students use the skills repeatedly. The mathematics requirements have been aligned with the traditional math courses students take. However, when necessary, the text provides a workaround for the principle behind physics without the arduous math.
