Description

---

In simple language, these informative books offer explanations of the important concepts high school students encounter in science and physics classes. The series uses easy-to-understand examples throughout, to help students investigate and interpret scientific methodology, theories, and laws. Each title in the series covers a specific concept in physics, including the laws of motion and thermodynamics; kinetic and potential energy; gravity and magnetism; the characteristics of sound; and more. Colorful diagrams and photographs help to make this the perfect series for challenged high school students who might have trouble understanding required high school physics concepts. Written as a supplement to physics textbooks, this book uses diagrams and straightforward text to explain such fundamental points of physics as Newton's laws of motion, mechanics, and free-body diagrams. Easy-to-understand and broken into simple concepts, the laws of motion are clearly presented. The book offers helpful illustrations and clear examples to enhance students' understanding of a key concept in physics. Sidebars, extensive captions, reading suggestions, and a glossary help make this just the tool needed for reluctant readers.
