A Must for Your Professional Science Teaching Library
Terrific Science Press has published several excellent books that I knowof: Teaching Chemistry with Toys (grades K-9), Teaching Physics with Toys(grades K-9), and Exploring Energy with Toys (grades 4-8).I use them allwith gusto, and I looked forward to receiving Investigating Solids,Liquids, and Gases with Toys (middle school).I was notdisappointed.Read more

Didn't think that much of it
Of course, that may be because I didn't like the course all that much. I thought that the text was too wordy and did not present concepts well enough. The example problems are good to have and so are the chapter summaries. All in all, I thought the concepts could have been explained much better and with less words.

I've neven seen a book used less by students that this book.
The better book lets you get ahead of the class by simply devoting your time on it, in some cases, you don't even need to attend lecture.This book, doesn't allow you that--your pace is limited to the pace of the class.(Students in my class don't rely on this book--only on the lecture--our prof doesn't even refer to the book!)
Decent but not great
I used this book for my first class in college physics.The book is a decent text for learning physics, but I think that several improvements could be made.Read more
