ALTHOUGH text-books of practical physics are now fairly numerous, the demonstrators in physics of the University of Toronto appear to have found it impossible to adapt any of the existing ones to the requirements of their students. The same difficulty has been experienced in most English laboratories, partly on account of the diversity which exists between the apparatus of the various institutions, and partly because of the different aims of students working in them. Consequently nearly every laboratory possesses instruction-sheets, either in print or manuscript, which have in some instances been edited and issued in book form; the present volume is a case in point. The experiments described in the book are arranged in two courses, elementary and advanced, in the former of which weighing and measuring, light and heat, are included, while the advanced course consists of sound, advanced heat, electricity, and magnetism. Some easy experiments in electricity and magnetism might have been included in the elementary course, otherwise the selection is a fairly good and useful one. The section on sound contains figures and descriptions of Helmholtz's and König's apparatus for various experiments, but many students' laboratories in this country are, unfortunately, not equipped with large electrically-driven tuning-forks and chronographs. Experimental details are sometimes omitted; for example, in describing the use of the spectrometer as a goniometer, the student is not told how to focus the telescope and adjust the slit so as to obtain a parallel beam of light from the collimator. In the same experiment it is erroneously stated that the edge of the crystal must coincide with the axis of the instrument, whereas the two need only be parallel to each other if the collimator is properly adjusted. Again, in calorimetric measurements, errors arising from radiation between the calorimeter and its surroundings are not very adequately discussed; the calorimeter is supposed in all experiments to alter its temperature at a uniform rate, and matters are so arranged that the mean between its initial and final temperatures is that of the atmosphere. In specific heat determinations a preliminary experiment is necessary in order to satisfy the latter condition, and the assumption of uniform rise of temperature is only approximately true, even when the body under experiment is a good conductor of heat. The book is printed in a bold, clear type, and its illustrations are good; it will be found a useful addition to the laboratory bookshelf.-Philosophical Magazine

Physics Laboratory for Engineering students in Padova University is organised in Real Time Laboratory (RTL) mode, that is, it is based on a measurement system featuring sensors, interface and computer as main instruments. The RTL approach allows the students to face both the experimental side, by proposing the preparation of an experiment and its setup, and the analytic side, by performing quantitative and qualitative data analysis. The outlined didactic proposal generates a learning process, rather than a teaching one. Such a choice allows to provide to the students useful tools which allows them to move on from a real complex phenomenology to the abstraction of a Physics law.

The market leader for the first-year physics laboratory course, this manual offers a wide range of class-tested experiments designed explicitly for use in small to mid-size lab programs. The manual provides a series of integrated experiments that emphasize the use of computerized instrumentation. The Sixth Edition includes a set of "computer-assisted experiments" that allow students and instructors to use this modern equipment. This option also allows instructors to find the appropriate balance between traditional and computer-based experiments for their courses. By analyzing data through two different methods, students gain a greater understanding of the concepts behind the experiments. The manual includes 14 new integrated experiments—computerized and traditional—that can also be used independently of one another. Ten of these integrated experiments are included in the standard (bound) edition; four are available for customization. Instructors may elect to customize the manual to include only those experiments they want. The bound volume includes the 33 most commonly used experiments that have appeared in previous editions; an additional 16 experiments are available for examination online. Instructors may choose any of these experiments—49 in all—to produce a manual that explicitly matches their course needs. Each experiment includes six components that aid students in their analysis and interpretation: Advance Study Assignment, Introduction and Objectives, Equipment Needed, Theory, Experimental Procedures, and Laboratory Report and Questions.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Course in Physics for Secondary Schools Although laboratory work is now generally recognized as an indispensable part of any adequate course in elementary physics, it is nevertheless a lamentable fact that there are still some schools in which it is not attempted at all, while there are others in which, despite the most expensive equipment, the laboratory fails, on the whole, either to interest or instruct. Both of these conditions are probably attributable to one and the same cause. In our modern glorification of the laboratory method, particularly of exact, quantitative measurements, and in our haste to get away from the superficial, descriptive physics of thirty years ago, some of us have undoubtedly gone so far as to defeat our own aims. We have made the laboratory an impossibility in schools which are financially weak, because we have made its expense prohibitive; and we have made it a disappointment in other schools which are financially strong, because in our eagerness to show our students exactly how much we have neglected to show them how and why. In short, the gravest danger which threatens the efficiency of the high-school laboratory to-day is the danger which arises from the creeping over of the methods and the instruments of research and specialization from the university into the high school, where they have absolutely no place, - the danger that principles shall be lost sight of in the bewildering details of refined methods and refined instruments.

This is the inaugural volume of a new book series entitled "The Road to Scientific Success: Inspiring Life Stories of Prominent Researchers". Authoritative scientists such as Nobel Prize laureates Douglas D Osheroff and Herbert A Hauptman and US National Medal of Science recipients Paul Ching-Wu Chu and Eli Ruckenstein describe their life experiences in relation to how success was attained, how their careers were developed, how their research was steered, how priorities were set, and how difficulties were faced. These keys to success serve as a useful guide for anyone who is looking for advice on how to direct their career and conduct scientific research that will make an impact. The focus on the road to success (rather than scientific findings) and on personal experience aims to inspire and encourage readers to achieve greater success themselves. The objectives of this book series are: to motivate young people to pursue their vocations with rigor, perseverance and direction; to inspire students to pursue science or engineering; to enhance the scientific knowledge of students, including those that do not major in science or engineering; to help parents and teachers prepare the next generation of scientists or engineers; to increase the awareness of the general public to the advances of science; to provide a record of the history of science.

PHYSICS BY INQUIRY Physics by Inquiry is the product of more than 20 years of research and teaching experience. Developed by the Physics Education Group at the University of Washington, these laboratory-based modules have been extensively tested in the classroom. Volumes I and II provide a step-by-step introduction to fundamental concepts and basic scientific reasoning skills essential to the physical sciences. Volume III, currently in preparation, extends this same approach to additional topics in the standard introductory physics course. Physics by Inquiry has been successfully used: to prepare preservice and inservice K-12 teachers to teach science as a process of inquiry to help underprepared students succeed in the mainstream science courses that are the gateway to science-related careers. to provide liberal arts students with direct experience in the scientific process, thus establishing a solid foundation for scientific literacy.

Laboratory experiences as a part of most U.S. high school science curricula have been taken for granted for decades, but they have rarely been carefully examined. What do they contribute to science learning? What can they contribute to science learning? What is the current status of labs in our nation�s high schools as a context for learning science? This book looks at a range of questions about how laboratory experiences fit into U.S. high schools: What is effective laboratory teaching? What does research tell us about learning in high school science labs? How should student learning in laboratory experiences be assessed? Do all student have access to laboratory experiences? What changes need to be made to improve laboratory experiences for high school students? How can school organization contribute to effective laboratory teaching? With increased attention to the U.S. education system and student outcomes, no part of the high school curriculum should escape scrutiny. This timely book investigates factors that influence a high school laboratory experience, looking closely at what currently takes place and what the goals of those experiences are and should be. Science educators, school administrators, policy makers, and parents will all benefit from a better understanding of the need for laboratory experiences to be an integral part of the science curriculum-and how that can be accomplished.
