About the Book

YEARS 11 - 12 Queensland Physics Context to Concept is a full-colour text and CD-ROM resource package designed for the state's much-awaited Physics syllabus. The text develops fundamental Physics concepts within a contextualised framework to allow teachers the flexibility to teach using either a contextualised or more traditional approach. Its key authors, Kahni Burrows and Mike Andriessen are respected and experienced Physics teachers and authors. Key features: Gearing up for Physics chapters to introduce students to essential Physics concepts and skills Key ideas and key concepts from the syllabus to begin every context What do we think and know already? questions to establish students' prior knowledge and understanding Physics terms and high interest facts in page margins Questions interspersed throughout chapters Physics in the news articles to show real-world applications of Physics Try this activities to allow for quick demonstration of concepts Review questions at the end of each chapter Building on the context sections for each component, including investigations and stimulus response activities. Features of the CD-ROM: the entire text included fully-worked solutions for all questions experiments and investigations animations of key concepts weblinks The strength of this exciting and authoritative resource is its flexibility of approach using real-world contexts as a starting point to engage students in an understanding and appreciation of Physics in the twenty-first century.
