Forceful Experiences
Colouring Newton’s Laws of Motion
By Christina Hart
This resource, for teachers and students of general science at the
junior high school level, introduces Newton's Laws of motion at a
qualitative level. 'Forceful Experiences' takes students' experiences
of motion as a starting point, and guides them to construct a more
powerful framework for understanding their everyday world. The
approach also provides a secure foundation for those students
who will go on to study physics at a more advanced, mathematical
level. Features include: Short summaries of the main conceptual              Price: $15.00 plus
points are provided at the end of each chapter. There are frequent
                                                                             $18.00 postage &
