A perception exists that physics is a sophisticated discipline accessible only to the brightest students. To dispel this notion, the authors created a program that makes college-level physics attainable to average high school students. Additionally, its distinctive concept-building approach allows high performing student to flourish. Regardless of experience, all physics teachers can confidently prepare students for success with this product. The unique program design also makes it ideal for the home-schooled student. This program has proven, through field-testing, that upon successful completion, students are rewarded with genuine conceptual understanding, a real sense of accomplishment, and the tangible benefit of college credit. What makes this program unique? As opposed to chapter-by-chapter formats of traditional textbooks, it integrates concepts and employs constant review, allowing students to strengthen understanding over time. The 100-lesson format develops concepts in a progressive, spiraling manner. Concepts are introduced at a fundamental level developing further in later lessons, encouraging incremental learning. Problem sets that accompany each lesson represent an important feature that promotes confidence and understanding. Each set includes topics from current and previous lessons, making each set comprehensive. As the course progresses, the problems increase in complexity and depth, enabling students to master and connect concepts. All tests are comprehensive and include multiple choice and free response sections. The tests continuously increase in difficulty, building to AP-level rigor. The scoring rubrics and alternate forms of each test allow teachers and students to diagnose weaknesses and focus learning. The program also includes a set of ten descriptive physics questions after every fifth lesson, which promotes thought and expose misconceptions, while requiring consideration of concepts from a qualitative and conceptual perspective. The Teacher Resource CD contains detailed keys for problem sets, quizzes and tests.

This should be the last course a student takes before high school biology. Typically, we recommend that the student take this course during the same year that he or she is taking prealgebra. Exploring Creation With Physical Science provides a detailed introduction to the physical environment and some of the basic laws that make it work. The fairly broad scope of the book provides the student with a good understanding of the earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. It also covers details on weather, motion, Newton's Laws, gravity, the solar system, atomic structure, radiation, nuclear reactions, stars, and galaxies. The second edition of our physical science course has several features that enhance the value of the course: * There is more color in this edition as compared to the previous edition, and many of the drawings that are in the first edition have been replaced by higher-quality drawings. * There are more experiments in this edition than there were in the previous one. In addition, some of the experiments that were in the previous edition have been changed to make them even more interesting and easy to perform. * Advanced students who have the time and the ability for additional learning are directed to online resources that give them access to advanced subject matter. * To aid the student in reviewing the course as a whole, there is an appendix that contains questions which cover the entire course. The solutions and tests manual has the answers to those questions. Because of the differences between the first and second editions, students in a group setting cannot use both. They must all have the same edition. A further description of the changes made to our second edition courses can be found in the sidebar on page 32.

The series High School Physics: Master It With Ease has been written for all school students who get their first systematic exposure to the topics of the series, which, in most places, happens at high school (or secondary school) level. The present book, which is the first volume of the series, deals with the topic of Current Electricity at introductory level. With almost two decades of experience of teaching the subject both at university level and at school-leaving level, the author has strong credentials to understand and mitigate students' difficulties. He firmly believes that at the formative stage of first exposure to a subject, the students should not be left with any gaps or doubts in their understanding. Accordingly, he has tried to furnish the books with with a variety of pedagogical perspectives and wealth of testing material - normal and higher order, numerical and objective - for students to hone their grasp of the fundamentals. Some novel features of the books include: - Sub-topics of main topic: In general, a main topic of a chapter introduces and discusses several new and different ideas. While teaching in the class, experienced teachers of physics intuitively divide the main topic into sub-topics, each of which deals with a single well defined idea. We follow this approach and after explicit breakup, develop each discrete idea of a sub-topic to an appropriate detail. The discussion is further supported by a number of properly labelled diagrams and tables. - Teaching by solved examples: The book contains a plethora of solved examples each one of which is accompanied by a mention of the precise subtopic on which it is based. - Practice, practice, practice: Each chapter contains a large corpus of carefully designed exercises. Exercises requiring numerical calculations and those requiring subtle higher order thinking are marked explicitly. These exercises contain a broad range of objective-type questions as well. They include 'Multiple Choice type (MCQs)', 'Fill in the Blanks type', 'True or False type', 'Matching type' and 'Quiz type' questions. Ample answers, hints and solutions to all these exercises are provided to help students achieve maximum elucidation of each topic. - Inclusion of Activities: In order to encourage 'Learning by Doing'; a number of activities are included in many chapters. Each activity can easily be performed by the students by using commonly available material in their homes and school-labs. - Useful 'Question Bank' A 'Question Bank' in the question- answer format is included at the end of the book. It contains a large collection of most such questions as find favor with the examiners. Students can use them for revision and consolidation of their studies as well as to learn how to answer different types of questions during their exams. With all these features, the book is expected to be self-contained textbook, which will benefit students both during self-study as well as for homework and exam work throughout their introductory phase of learning physics. ********************************************************************************** About the Author Sudhir K.

Gifted students can exhibit extreme variance in both their abilities and their interests, yet they are often treated within schools as one homogeneous, specialized population. Personalized Learning in Gifted Education helps educators strengthen their differentiation of both instruction and services for advanced students. This book: • helps educators develop the specific gifts and talents of the gifted students they serve • demonstrates how educators can utilize the wealth of data they have at their disposal • provides a rationale and blueprint for a stronger, more personalized approach to gifted education • offers suggestions for both elementary and secondary schools. Recommendations center around five features of personalized learning: personalized learning plans, project- or problem- based learning, competency-based progression through the curriculum, criterion-referenced assessments, and multi-year mentoring.

Simple algebra based problems are often used by physics instructors to develop student understanding and assess learning. But it is possible for students to complete simple algebra based problems by matching the given situation to a previously used algorithm, thus eliminating any conceptual physics growth. Context rich problems provide students with the motivation to apply physics knowledge through examining a real world or nearly real world situation. Thus, including context rich problems in physics instruction can provide students with an opportunity to enhance their conceptual physics knowledge. The success of context rich problems depends on the problem solving ability of the students and the quality of the cooperative learning groups that are established. Both factors are discussed to produce a method for improving problem solving ability and the conceptual physics knowledge of high school physics students. This project includes strategies for creating effective cooperative groups, developing student problem solving ability and seventeen context rich problems that are ready to use in any first year, high school physics course.
