Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual in Physics: To Accompany Black and Davis' "Practical Physics for Secondary Schools"
IT is now more than twenty years since we began to teach elementary physics in the laboratory and we already have many laboratory manuals. Why add another to the list? Every teacher of physics undoubtedly takes up the task of organizing his laboratory with great enthusiasm and high hopes. But sooner or later he finds that this business of teaching young people physics by means of laboratory exer cises is a very difficult problem. No amount of costly appa ratus or elaborate laboratory directions will produce that mental activity about physical phenomena that we all want to stimulate in our students.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of 50 engaging laboratory experiments that represent a well-balanced physics course suitable for high school students. The author, an experienced physics teacher, has carefully chosen these experiments to stimulate students' minds, encourage critical thinking, and foster a genuine interest in the subject matter. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of precision, accuracy, and a deep understanding of the underlying principles governing physical phenomena. The experiments delve into a wide range of physics topics, including measurement techniques, density, levers, forces, inclined planes, friction, efficiency, principles of buoyancy, specific gravity, Boyle's Law, and more. Each experiment is meticulously outlined, with clear instructions, diagrams, and tables to guide students through the process. By performing these hands-on activities, students gain firsthand experience with the scientific method, learn to analyze data, and develop problem-solving skills. The author's approach is refreshingly practical, with an emphasis on using simple and readily available apparatus. This makes the experiments accessible to students of all backgrounds and ensures that the focus remains on the underlying concepts rather than on complex equipment. Overall, this book is an invaluable resource for high school physics teachers and students alike. It provides a comprehensive and engaging approach to learning physics through experimentation, fostering a deep understanding of the subject matter while nurturing students' scientific curiosity and problem-solving abilities.
