Inhaltsangabe

This book provides an illuminating and comprehensive introduction to practical physics for students in secondary education. The author presents physics not as a theoretical academic pursuit, but as a rich, exciting, hands-on subject. The book is presented in two parts. Part I is aimed at students in their first year, and Part II is more suited to those in their second year of study. The author takes students step-by-step through a wide range of topics from length and area through to thermodynamics, providing numerous engaging experiments that illustrate each scientific concept. These include traditional experiments and demonstrations as well as innovative demonstrations. In addition, the author includes 'additional exercises' within each chapter, providing more challenging exercises for students that require a little more depth of understanding.

Excerpt from Exercises in Practical Physics for Schools of Science, Vol. 1 of 2

We are glad of this Opportunity of making very grateful acknowledgments - to the teachers whose names are mentioned during the course of the book, for new and ingenious experi ments to elucidate particular principles; to Mr. L. M. Jones, b.sc., St. Dunstan's College, Catford, for very valuable assistance while the sheets were passing through the press, and many useful hints and notes which have enabled us to improve several parts of the course; and finally, to Mr. E. Edser, Mr. H. E. Hadley, e.sc., and Mr. James Quick for reading some of the sections and giving us the benefit of their criticisms.

Excerpt from Exercises in Practical Physics for Schools of Science, Vol. 1 of 2

The characteristics of this volume and its sequel, to which we invite the attention of teachers of practical physics, are briefly:

(1) The number and variety of exercises used to exemplify each of the principles dealt with.

(2) The limitation of the text to instructions necessary for the intelligent performance of the experiments and the recognition of the significance of the results obtained.

(3) The number of new and simple experimental devices which, by the courtesy of various teachers, it has been possible to incorporate.

(4) The numerous illustrations showing at a glance the apparatus required and the method of procedure.

Teachers of practical physics, whether in "Schools of Science," or other schools in which experimental work in physical science forms a part of the curriculum, may be left to judge for themselves as to the value of these points. Our own experience in teaching and examining has convinced us that a sound knowledge of any scientific principle is only obtained after many experiments designed to present it under different aspects have been performed and studied. It is for this reason that several exercises are given under each division of the subject. When time permits a student ought to perform practically all the exercises, in order to impress upon his mind the principles they exemplify; he should, in fact, regard the exercises as he does the examples in his mathematical books, and work as many of them as he can.
