Workshop Physics? Activity Guide , Heat, Temperature, and Nuclear Radiation: Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory, Heat Engines, Nuclear Decay, and Radon Monitoring

by Priscilla W. Laws

This text enriches student observations and experiments by using a powerful set of integrated computer tools, enabling them to collect, display and analyze data and create mathematical models to describe phenomena. Contains hundreds of activities to help students understand experimental and theoretical aspects of physics. Conceptual aspects of the activities are based on physics education research and these activities provide an important foundation for the mathematical derivations, modeling exercises and quantitative problem solving that students are asked to perform.
