may be called, "baby physics." I use Uri Haber-Schaim' Physical Science
II materials. Totally through experiment, a student will develop the
ideas of thermal energy, tie it to electrical energy, move from
electrical energy to gravitational potential energy, on to elastic
potential energy through thermal energy, and finally to kinetic energy.
It is great material for freshman who have a basic understanding of
algebra. One of our teachers helped to pilot this material back in the
late '60's and we have used it with great success ever since.
