Brian Jones has won several teaching awards at Colorado State University during his 17 years teaching in the Department of Physics. His teaching focus in recent years has been the College Physics class, including writing problems for the MCAT exam and helping students review for this test.

Brian has been invited to give workshops on techniques of science instruction throughout the United States and internationally, including Belize, Chile, Ethiopia, Azerbaijan and Slovenia.

Stuart Field has been interested in science and technology his whole life. While in school he built telescopes, electronic circuits, and computers. After completing a postdoctoral position at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, he held a faculty position at the University of Michigan. Cloth Package. We're sorry!

Tactics Boxes give explicit procedures for developing specific skills drawing free-body diagrams, using ray tracing, etc. Worked examples follow the three-step strategies and include careful explanations of the underlying, and often unstated, reasoning. Explicit instruction , particularly on figures, is provided to help the student translate back and forth between different representations—such as verbal, pictorial, graphical, and mathematical descriptions.

The Student Workbook provides straightforward confidence- and skill-building exercises. Many Examples and end-of-chapter problems are set in the context of an interesting real-world scenario. Try It Yourself activities throughout the text provide students with simple real-world experiments, designed to reinforce an idea through direct experience. Free-standing applications with photographs and short captions are provided in the margin to connect the physical principles with the real world.

Based on the most recent educational research , the text takes exceptional care to guide students through what they need to know. It is complete, concise, and well worded. NOTE paragraphs target the many details including math-related skills that often cause students the most trouble.

Stop to Think questions at the end of a section encourage active thought over passive reading. Using proven techniques from cognitive science, they are designed to help students discover and overcome their misconceptions. Answers are provided at the end of the chapter.

Math relationship boxes discuss in detail the key mathematical relationships that are most common in this course, giving textual, graphical, and algebraic representations, and tips on how to reason with limiting cases, etc. Icons in the text refer back to the relevant math box when the relationship reoccurs between key physical variables, helping students see connections in the mathematical forms they need to use, and reason with physical relationships.

New concepts are introduced through observations about the real world and theories grounded by making sense of observations. This inductive approach illustrates how science operates, and has been shown to improve student learning. Unique visual chapter summaries help students organize their knowledge in a coherent hierarchy, rather than a jumbled set of disconnected facts, figures, and equations.

Throughout, key ideas from educational research and proven techniques from cognitive science drive a unique approach to figures e. New to This Edition. Integrated Examples at the end of each chapter demonstrate problem-solving in the context of a capstone, multi-concept real-world scenario. They are designed to help students to bridge the gap from section-based worked examples in the chapter to general homework problems spanning the whole chapter, or many chapters.

Part Summary integrated problems close each of the seven parts of the book. These take student problem-solving one step further by covering topics that span several chapters—something the MCAT routinely does. Fine-tuning of the chapter content throughout streamlines and focuses the text, in response to adopter feedback.

Increased emphasis is placed on ratio reasoning in the text, examples, and in the end-of-chapter sections. Table of Contents I. Representing Motion 2. Motion in One Dimension 3.

Vectors and Motion In Two Dimensions 4. Circular Motion, Orbits, and Gravity 7. Rotational Motion 8. Equilibrium and Elasticity II. Momentum Energy and Work Using Energy III.

Thermal Properties of Matter Fluids IV. Brian has been invited to give workshops on techniques of science instruction throughout the United States and internationally, including Belize, Chile, Ethiopia, Azerbaijan and Slovenia.
