Laboratory Manual In Conceptual Physics

Get hands-on experience with this Lab Manual! Designed toaccompany Trefil’s Physics Matters, this Lab Manualcontains 20 different labs covering major topics with commonequipment. Written by authors who have vast experience in communicatingscience to general audiences, Physics Matters conveys theprinciples of physics in a manner that is understandable to thenon-scientist. In a prose style that is clear, engaging, andcontemporary, it pays particular attention to the relevance ofphysics in comprehending our modern technological society and theissues created by those technologies.

This includes a balance of in-depth experiments that allow students to develop laboratory skills and quick activities that use readily available materials.

This manual contains interesting lab experiments that use minimal equipment, as well as a wide range of activities similar to the projects in Conceptual Physics, Tenth Edition. These activities guide students to experience phenomena in a follow-up laboratory experiment.

This includes a balance of in-depth experiments that allow students to develop laboratory skills and quick activities that use readily available materials.

Authored by Paul Hewitt, the pioneer of the enormously successful "concepts before computation" approach, Conceptual Physics boosts student success by first building a solid conceptual understanding of physics. The Three Step Learning Approach makes physics accessible to today's students. Exploration - Ignite interest with meaningful examples and hands-on activities. Concept Development - Expand understanding with engaging narrative and visuals, multimedia presentations, and a wide range of concept-development questions and exercises. Application - Reinforce and apply key concepts with hands-on laboratory work, critical thinking, and problem solving.
