Favorite Experiments in Physics and Physical Science

About this curriculum

** Note: This book is produced by print-on-demand service and may take 2-4 weeks to ship. A new collection of experiments and demonstrations to bring fresh vigor and real science learning into your classroom. Included are complete descriptions of eleven separate student experiments to accompany Novare texts and over 50 demonstrations in physics and introductory chemistry. Frustrated with a "magic show" mentality in your lab experiments? Everyone agrees that experiments are necessary. But if they are going to be worth the time, they must be carefully designed to educate students in principles of lab procedures, measurement, observation, recording, and analysis. Favorite Experiments accomplishes this by starting each experiment with clear learning objectives followed by an explanation of the experiment and why we are doing it. The materials list includes source information (such as Flinn Scientific or the local hardware store) with part or model numbers where applicable. Wherever possible, we strive to keep costs down. Ordinary household items can often serve just fine in an experiment (remember, the great pioneer scientists always designed their own experiments)…
