ISBN: 9780982725801

A basic, non-mathematical textbook for non-science students in secondary school or college. The book is based on Robert Karplus' many years of research on how beginners think about physics. In the "modeling approach" students explore and test simple analog, working and mathematical models for physical phenomena. The models provide a clear, understandable transition to the key principles and theories of physics. The book begins with the basic concepts of relative motion, reference frames, interaction, systems, and a descriptive overview of energy transfer. Subsequent chapters develop the details of temperature and heat, thermal (internal) energy, forces and work, electrical energy and electrical circuits, velocity and acceleration, Newton's Laws, motion near the surface of the earth, periodic and circular motion, celestial mechanics and gravity, pressure and kinetic theory, light and sound, waves, and modern physics (Bohr model and the basics of quantum mechanics). The "Modeling Instruction" approach is used in secondary schools throughout the US (see modeling.asu.edu). This book is especially useful in conjunction with (or as preparation for) the study of chemistry.

The Art of Teaching Science emphasizes a humanistic, experiential, and constructivist approach to teaching and learning, and integrates a wide variety of pedagogical tools. Becoming a science teacher is a creative process, and this innovative textbook encourages students to construct ideas about science teaching through their interactions with peers, mentors, and instructors, and through hands-on, minds-on activities designed to foster a collaborative, thoughtful learning environment. This second edition retains key features such as inquiry-based activities and case studies throughout, while simultaneously adding new material on the impact of standardized testing on inquiry-based science, and explicit links to science teaching standards. Also included are expanded resources like a comprehensive website, a streamlined format and updated content, making the experiential tools in the book even more useful for both pre- and in-service science teachers. Special Features: Each chapter is organized into two sections: one that focuses on content and theme; and one that contains a variety of strategies for extending chapter concepts outside the classroom Case studies open each chapter to highlight real-world scenarios and to connect theory to teaching practice Contains 33 Inquiry Activities that provide opportunities to explore the dimensions of science teaching and increase professional expertise Problems and Extensions, On the Web Resources and Readings guide students to further critical investigation of important concepts and topics. An extensive companion website includes even more student and instructor resources, such as interviews with practicing science teachers, articles from the literature, chapter PowerPoint slides, syllabus helpers, additional case studies, activities, and more.

I wrote Electrino Physics with as few references to God and the Bible as possible, to be in the physics tradition, and so as not to offend physicists. But for many years I dreamed of writing a book named The Physics of Genesis. I longed to apply the origin relating calculations I was making in the Electrino Fusion Model of Elementary Particles to the scientific discussion of the origin concepts in the Bible book of Genesis. For 24 years this book simmered in the back of my mind. But here it is!—a second draft of it. The book starts with a brief summary of the model in Electrino Physics, but then shows from the calculations the omnipresence, the immortality, and the extreme wisdom of the One or Ones that originated and sustained and sustains the Universe. From other calculations I show the extreme improbability of the origin of the Universe in a Big Bang of pair production of particles. I show the truth of the Bible regarding the nature of the smallest particles. Things that the ancient Bible writers could not know and understand from the then current physical theory are revealed in the Bible—showing the Bible to be the inspired Word of God. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” is now not myth, fable, legend, or falsehood—it is good science. Genesis not only tells of the creation of the Universe and this earth, it tells of the fall of man and the great changes that brought to this earth. The discovery of how to reverse the order to disorder arrow in the second law of thermodynamics, related in Electrino Physics, sheds light on what apparently happened in the transition from pre-fall to post-fall earth, why God allowed the changes, and how God designs to reverse the damage, now, through science (see Does God Really Love Us? by myself). This book concludes with the question, “How do you see it now?” The reader is invited to reflect on which model of physics best fits the needs of humanity.

During the 1950s, leading American scientists embarked on an unprecedented project to remake high school science education. Dissatisfaction with the 'soft' school curriculum of the time advocated by the professional education establishment, and concern over the growing technological sophistication of the Soviet Union, led government officials to encourage a handful of elite research scientists, fresh from their World War II successes, to revitalize the nations' science curricula. In Scientists in the Classroom , John L. Rudolph argues that the Cold War environment, long neglected in the history of education literature, is crucial to understanding both the reasons for the public acceptance of scientific authority in the field of education and the nature of the curriculum materials that were eventually produced. Drawing on a wealth of previously untapped resources from government and university archives, Rudolph focuses on the National Science Foundation-supported curriculum projects initiated in 1956. What the historical record reveals, according to Rudolph, is that these materials were designed not just to improve American science education, but to advance the professional interest of the American scientific community in the postwar period as well.
