Educational film series

Physics: A World Iin Motion

Historical discovery, on-location investigation and laboratory experiments are used to present the phenomenal world of physics in a real-life context that students can relate to and easily understand. The development of pertinent physical concepts move from concrete examples to theoretical explorations requiring abstract models. Students are encouraged to apply a variety of strategies to problems and issues requiring qualitative and/or quantitative solutions. A comprehensive resource correlation guide is included free with the complete series.
