Student Textbook

Foundations of Physics is a true hands-on, inquiry-based program that combines the best attributes of "conceptual" and "mathematical" approaches to teaching physics. Every new concept is introduced through a connection to real experience, either in the lab or the real world. Because students learn in different ways, nearly every concept is presented in words and through more than 1,000 content-rich illustrations. Conceptual understanding is supported by basic mathematical techniques (i.e., introductory algebra). Students learn to use important equations as a means to analyze data and solve quantitative problems. 688 pages
