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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330146682_0
