Teaches basic principles of physics through experiments amd explanations of the results. - Book News
This resource contains 125 physics projects for teachers at all levels, as well as parents, scout leaders, hobbyists, and others interested in the subject. Each section lists required items, step-by-step instructions, and options for changing the project based on varying experience, available resources, and interest levels. Experiments include expected outcome and equations for why they work. They test concepts relating to motion, gravity, centripetal force, Newton's law, energy and momentum, sound and waves, light, hot and cold, electricity and magnetism, and the Earth. Silver, a teacher, has developed components for terrestrial photovoltaic systems and designed solar arrays providing power for commercial and NASA satellites. There is no bibliography.
