ap physics e&m: Understanding by Design Grant P. Wiggins, Jay McTighe, 2005 What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike. |
ap physics e&m: AP Physics C Sudhir K Sood, PH D, Sudhir Sood, 2020-04-05 Gain mastery over every type of question on the two units of 1. Electrostatics and 2. Conductors, Capacitors, Dielectrics that you are ever likely to find in the AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism exam. This becomes plausible because of the judicious way 'AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, 2020 Edition: 100 Must-Know Questions in 1. Electrostatics 2. Conductors, Capacitors, Dielectrics With Answers and Explanations' is laid out. First step that assures complete coverage is the division of the two units into topics (eight in all) that coincide with those specified in the Course Framework updated by the College Board for 2019-20. Secondly, careful analysis of the exam questions and related information issued by the College Board from time to time coupled with vast teaching experience of the author has assured the inclusion of virtually all question types for each of these eight topics. Salient features of the book: - 100 AP-level questions (90 Multiple Choice and 10 Free Response Questions) pertaining to the aforementioned two units that together comprise 40-51% of the complete AP Physics C exam. - Answers and Detailed Explanations: The questions listed in the first part of the book are each followed by Answer Key and Detailed Explanations in the second part of the book. - Complete derivations of results: For answering the Physics C exam questions, students require a far deeper understanding of the concepts as compared to other easier exams, where, quite often, knowledge of the final results alone suffices. Keeping this in mind, we have always included, at appropriate places, complete derivations of the result being used to arrive at the answer. This will also help students recall an important component of the theory part that they would have studied otherwise. - Improvement of students' areas of difficulty: The division of questions into eight topics has the added advantage of allowing the students to easily find and improve upon those parts that they find difficult to grasp. - Also useful for calculus-based Physics courses: Even though the book is designed for AP Physics C exam, it can be equally useful for students taking calculus-based Physics courses. ******************************************************************* About the Author Sudhir K.

ap physics e&m: Advanced Electromagnetism: Foundations: Theory And Applications Terence William Barrett, Dale M Grimes, 1995-11-16 Advanced Electromagnetism: Foundations, Theory and Applications treats what is conventionally called electromagnetism or Maxwell's theory within the context of gauge theory or Yang-Mills theory. A major theme of this book is that fields are not stand-alone entities but are defined by their boundary conditions. The book has practical relevance to efficient antenna design, the understanding of forces and stresses in high energy pulses, ring laser gyros, high speed computer logic elements, efficient transfer of power, parametric conversion, and many other devices and systems. Conventional electromagnetism is shown to be an underdeveloped, rather than a completely developed, field of endeavor, with major challenges in development still to be met. |

ap physics e&m: Physics Eugene Hecht, 2000 Hecht brings to bear the perspective of both historical concepts and contemporary physics. While the text covers the standard range of material from kinematics to quantum physics, Hecht has carefully limited the math required to basic calculus and very basic vector analysis. He omits obscure, high-level topics while focusing on helping students understand the fundamental concepts of modern-day physics. Calculus and vector analysis are both painstakingly developed as tools, and then used only insofar as they illuminate the physics. Hecht deliberately paces comfortably, justifies where each topic is going, stops to take stock of where the students have been, and points out the marvelous unity of the discourse. Informed by a 20th century perspective and a commitment to providing a conceptual overview of the discipline, Hecht's CALCULUS 2/e keeps students involved and focused. |

ap physics e&m: Honors Physics Essentials Dan Fullerton, 2011-12-13 |
ap physics e&m: University Physics Ronald Lane Reese, 1999-04-01 Reese writes a text that embraces the spirit of many reform goals, such as better integration of modern physics topics, a stronger emphasis on conceptual understanding, and an attention to different learning styles. Most importantly, however, Reese writes for students to allow them not only to learn the tools that physics provides, but also to see why those tools work and the beauty of the ideas that underlie them. Because students sometimes fail to see how the topics of physics connect to each other or to the world outside the classroom, Reese introduces each new topic by describing how it relates to experiences and phenomena with which the student is already familiar or to topics previously discussed. Reese emphasizes introductory physics, rather than encyclopedic physics, leaving appropriate topics for more advanced courses. His thinking is that it is better to build technical knowledge on a firm foundation of fundamental principles rather than on a large collection of mere formulas. In doing this, he helps students develop a thorough understanding of the principles of basic areas of physics: kinematics, dynamics, waves, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, relativity, and modern physics.Because most students cannot discern simplifying patterns and connections when faced with seemingly complex ideas, students learn physics through practice. To assist them, Reese integrates the most significant material from previous chapters into new material; provides an accurate conceptual understanding of fundamental physical principles by placing great emphasis on these principles and how they arose; points out the limits of applicability of the theories and equations of physics; and stresses connections among topics by incorporating many aspects of contemporary physics and astronomy into a mix of traditional topics. |

Frequent, strong examples focus on how to approach a problem, how to work with the equations, and how to check and generalize the result. |
ap physics e&m: The Language of Physics Elizabeth Garber, 2012-12-06 This work is the first explicit examination of the key role that mathematics has played in the development of theoretical physics and will undoubtedly challenge the more conventional accounts of its historical development. Although mathematics has long been regarded as the language of physics, the connections between these independent disciplines have been far more complex and intimate than previous narratives have shown. The author convincingly demonstrates that practices, methods, and language shaped the development of the field, and are a key to understanding the mergence of the modern academic discipline. Mathematicians and physicists, as well as historians of both disciplines, will find this provocative work of great interest. |
