Synopsis

Hands-On Physical Science offers practical, low-cost lab experiments for secondary schools, helping teachers bring physics to life.

This edition focuses on making laboratory work affordable and accessible. It emphasizes doing real science with simple, repeatable activities, and it suggests a three-part approach that pairs home, laboratory, and lecture-room experiments to maximize student engagement. The book argues for learning by doing, with experiments guiding the discovery of concepts like energy conservation and the correlation of forces.

  • Learn with simple, inexpensive apparatus and everyday materials
  • Structure lessons so students perform multiple experiments in a single session
  • Balance hands-on work with guided instruction to build understanding
  • Adapt activities to fit time, class size, and available equipment
Ideal for readers who want clear, practical guidance to run effective physics labs in schools with limited resources, while keeping core ideas front and center.
