For AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 (Algebra-Based)
Combines a carefully structured learning path with key ideas from educational research to make AP physics more accessible. The primary goal is to utilize proven techniques of visual instruction and design from educational research and cognitive psychology that improve student learning and retention and address a range of learner styles. This program will help students develop both quantitative reasoning skills and solid conceptual understanding, with special focus on concepts well documented to cause learning difficulties.
For AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2 (Algebra-Based)
College Physics is the first text to use an investigative learning approach to teach introductory physics. This approach encourages students to take an active role in learning physics, to practice scientific skills such as observing, analyzing, and testing, and to build scientific habits of mind. The active learning approach encourages students to construct an understanding of physics concepts and laws in the same ways that physicists acquire knowledge. The authors believe students learn physics best by doing physics.
For AP Physics Calculus-Based
Physics for Scientists and Engineers incorporates Physics Education Research and cognitive science best practices that encourage conceptual development, problem-solving skill acquisition, and visualization. Knight stresses qualitative reasoning through physics principles before formalizing physics mathematically, developing student problem-solving skills with a systematic, scaffolded approach. The text presents a finely tuned, practical introduction to physics with problems that relate physics to everyday life and includes models, modeling, and advanced topics.
