SynopsisThe IB Diploma course book for Physics has been thoroughly revised, updated and extended. Still uniquely developed with the IB for the latest (2007) syllabus, the content has remained largely untouched, the main change being the improved page design to allow better access to the content. Option units have been more extensively revised and content is covered more rigorously. All of the features from the first edition have been retained - including the wider aims ofthe IB through connections to TOK, international-mindedness and the IB learner profile. Data-based question and ideas for practical experiments will encourage active learning and critical thinking. Now in colour, more diagrams and photographs have been included to illustrate the concepts discussed andto place the subject in context. Students will find this book stimulating and engaging. The CD material has been designed to enhance the book content. There are interactive multiple choice quizzes for each chapter to allow students to check their comprehension. Full answers to questions in the book are included. A glossary of terms and equations will help students to link topics and check understanding while spreadsheets and databases allow students to examine physical models and practice dataanalysis techniques., Covering all core and option units, this second edition was developed with the IB and accurately matches the 2007 syllabus. Written by a former IB chief examiner, free digital material drives an active approach to learning, and unrivalled insight into IB assessment concretely strengthens assessment potential. - Uniquely developed with the IB and written by an experienced IB teacher to accurately match the 2007 syllabus - Includes coverage of the Core, AHL and all Options, with examination questions throughout - Includes experiments which strengthen practical understanding and cement comprehension - The best integration of the IB philosophy, with real-world connections and TOK links building balanced and reflective learners - New CD with exercises, practicals and quizzes - Highly illustrated with material to support the exam - Includes information on CAS and the Extended Essays in Physics About the Series: Oxford's IB Diploma Course Books are essential resource materials designed in cooperation with the IB to provide students with extra support through their IB studies.
