- 4th edition.
- xi, 364 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Concepts of physical science -- The natural abundance of elements -- Concept of the Atom -- Properties of matter related to their chemical structure -- Physical and chemical properties of matter -- Chemical changes -- Personal care and household chemicals -- Universe physics -- View of matter, motion and the universe -- Laws of physics -- Light as a wave and particle -- Physics of the cosmos -- Vector calculus -- Theory of relativity -- Quantum electrodynamics.
"Science is dynamic, expanding body of knowledge covering ever new domains of experience. It is an organized system ofknowledge which is based on inquiry born out of natural curiosity, logical reasoning and experimentation. The role of a scienceteacher has evolved in recent years from that of transmitter of knowledge to one of facilitator of knowledge.The teacher is alsoexpected to be a participant in the construction of knowledge and to develop in students an understanding of the nature ofscience. Science makes everyday life easier with scientific developments. A dominant example is electricity as the discovery ofelectricity changed people's lives forever. Electric light benefits people every day in inventions like lamps,traffic lights,applianc-es and computers. Instead of reading by candlelight at night, a click of a switch turns on a light. Physical science studies thenature and properties of nonliving matter and energy such as physics, chemistry, astronomy, and earth sciences. Each one hasmany subdivisions. Science has helped speed up the pace of contemporary life. A trip that took weeks or longer on foot or horse-back was shortened by the invention of trains.Boats and automobiles soon followed and later the airplane became the quickestway for people to travel. By understanding the laws of physical science and studying them, man has been able to harness thevarious elements of nature like water, fire, oceans, wind air etc. and use them for our benefit, thus enhancing human life styleover the generations. It is not simply important, it is essential. Everything around us obeys laws of science. It is only when theseare discovered that man can put this knowledge into good use.
This 4th Edition covers twelve units under three sections. This book is an exploratory and introductory course which leads you to Physical Science Certificate Level I. In this book units have been revised and updated to make each subject matter more interesting and easier to understand by the students. It aims to inspire learners in striving harder by developing a sense of responsibility and commitment as they go along with the course"-- Back cover.
