Synopsis
Explore physics through hands-on experiments and clear explanations that connect ideas to real measurement.
This largely experimental text guides students and teachers through a comprehensive laboratory course in physics, blending practical exercises with careful discussion of concepts like mechanics, heat, pressure, and energy. The edition rearranges content for a smoother, more age-appropriate learning path and emphasizes thoughtful observation, data recording, and interpretation over mere verification.
Readers will find structured experiments, guidance on keeping useful lab notes, and practical notes about selecting activities that fit classroom time. The book also offers notes on omitting certain exercises when they are too easy or too difficult for the audience, along with lists of apparatus and acknowledgments that reflect a collaborative, classroom‑oriented approach.
- Step-by-step laboratory activities that illustrate fundamental ideas in density, pressure, motion, and energy.
- Clear discussion of how to observe, measure, and reason from data to reach reliable conclusions.
- Guidance on organizing notes, constructing diagrams, and integrating demonstrations with experiments.
- Historical and practical context for how physics is studied and taught at the time of publication.
Ideal for students beginning physics, teachers planning lab courses, and anyone seeking a practical introduction to experimental science.

Text-Book of Physics: Largely Experimental (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to performing the laboratory experiments that support a foundational study of physics. The experiments build on each other in complexity while also introducing new physical ideas. Positioning physics within its historical and literary context, the author details the reason students are asked to perform each experiment and provides an outline of the experiment's methodology while introducing key terms, calculations, and formulas. While the experiments start simply, they advance to include calorimetry, sound, light, electricity, and magnetism in later chapters. The author encourages the reader to think beyond the confines of each experiment, to consider results in context, and apply the lessons learned to their understanding of the world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333281434_0
