LAB MANUAL FOR PHYSICAL SCIENCE
The <i>laboratory manual</i>, written and classroom tested by the author, presents a selection of laboratory exercises specifically written for the interests and abilities of nonscience majors. There are laboratory exercises that require measurement, data analysis, and thinking in a more structured learning environment, while alternative exercises that are open-ended “Invitations to Inquiry†are provided for instructors who would like a less structured approach. When the laboratory manual is used with <i>Physical Science</i>, students will have an opportunity to master basic scientific principles and concepts, learn new problem-solving and thinking skills, and understand the nature of scientific inquiry from the perspective of hands-on experiences. The <i>instructor’s edition of the laboratory manual</i> can be found on the <i>Physical Science</i> companion website.
