Description: Historical discovery, on-location investigation and laboratory experiments are used to present the phenomenal world of physics in a real-life context that students can relate to and easily understand. The development of pertinent physical concepts moves from concrete examples to theoretical explanations requiring abstract models. Students are encouraged to apply a variety of strategies to problems and issues requiring qualitative and/or quantitative solutions. The pervasive nature of the thems - change, diversity, energy, equilibrium, matter and systems - in all science disciplines is identified clearly throughout this series.
