Download or read book Zap Experiments in Electrical Currents and Fields written by Jerry Pine and published by Jones & Bartlett Publishers. This book was released on 1996 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This innovative guide offers students hands-on learning opportunities with electro-magnetism and electronics. Students will see home-made microwaves, sparks, and logic circuits with equipment they create from inexpensive materials. In the process, abstract concepts will become familiar. Students will also discover that real-world problems are many-sided and yet observable and measurable. Students become designers, inventors, and doers; in trying to answer first questions, they will learn that there are many more to define and address." "Thirteen carefully chosen and tested experiments are designed to safely introduce students to the physics of charges. In the process, abstract concepts and relationships will become more real and more intuitive."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book The Quantum Challenge written by George Greenstein and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning. This book was released on 1997 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, books dealing with these issues have been constrained by two complementary difficulties. At the instructional level, because the theoretical apparatus of quantum theory is complex and unfamiliar, textbooks are forced to concentrate on the technical aspects of the theory. At the popular level, considerable attention is devoted to the theoretical questions, but such presentations are necessarily limited by their nontechnical nature.

Download or read book The Origin and Evolution of the Universe written by Ben Zuckerman and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning. This book was released on 1996 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the origin and evolution of the universe encompasses many of the most fascinating questions in science. What is our place in the universe? How did everything in it get started, from galaxies and stars, to planets and people? And what does the future hold, for our star, and our universe? Recently, scientists have made remarkable advances in providing concrete answers to these profound questions. The new technologies of observational astronomy, with its ground- and space-based gamma-ray, X-ray, ultraviolet, infrared and radio telescopes, is truly producing a new golden age of discovery. This book presents the excitement of these new discoveries in the larger context of cosmic evolution. The distinguished contributors are leading researchers at the cutting edge of these fields, and they also excel in explaining these subjects to the broader public. They offer the latest insights into these rapidly advancing fields, covering the origin and evolution of the universe, the chemical elements, galaxies, the evolution of stars, planets, and biological life. Essential physical concepts are clearly and carefully explained at the introductory college level. Related concepts from chemistry, geology, and biology are organized and integrated into the discussions. An extensive glossary is provided, and mathematical detail has been deliberately kept simple, to make the chapters accessible to anyone with an appreciation of science. The result is stimulating exploration of the frontiers of modern science that will intrigue both amateurs and professionals.

Download or read book The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments written by George Johnson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-03-10 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling, irresistible collection of the ten most groundbreaking and beautiful experiments in scientific history. With the attention to detail of a historian and the storytelling ability of a novelist, New York Times science writer George Johnson celebrates these groundbreaking experiments and re-creates a time when the world seemed filled with mysterious forces and scientists were in awe of light, electricity, and the human body. Here, we see Galileo staring down gravity, Newton breaking apart light, and Pavlov studying his now famous dogs. This is science in its most creative, hands-on form, when ingenuity of the mind is the most useful tool in the lab and the rewards of a well-considered experiment are on exquisite display.
