Interactive physics textbooks
for your digital classroom! | GRADES 9–12
Realize the promise of a digital learning environment today with comprehensive, completely digital physics textbooks. Designed for 21st century students, these texts are fully interactive and engage students with
-
hundreds of relevant activities and stimulations bring physics concepts to life
-
thousands of engaging interactive problems with immediate feedback
-
step-by-step, student-driven audio visual instruction for multiple learning styles
-
a customizable course management system to create and administer homework, quizzes, and tests
Automatic scoring, homework generation, and individual student practice lets teachers focus on teaching.
The textbooks are available in three versions, designed to meet the needs of different physics courses.
Conceptual Physics
Algebra-based text for students taking their first physics course in high school.
Principles of Physics
Designed for high school students who want to take the Physics AP/B exam. This text is more rigorous than Conceptual Physics but does not require calculus.
Physics for Scientists and Engineers
Comprehensive, calculus-based textbook, appropriate for high school students who want to take the Physics AP/C exam.
Virtual Physics Lab
Sixteen virtual labs augment any physics instructor's toolkit, bringing to life concepts that can't be demonstrated in most laboratories.
How are Kinetic Books different from conventional textbooks?
Interactive Activities—students apply their physics knowledge solving real-life problems in dozens of simulations. Examples include
-
learning about air resistance by flying a helicopter
-
experimenting with velocity and acceleration using the tortoise and the hare race
-
using the Bernoulli effect to understand the plumbing in your house
Digital Simulations—step-by-step narrated instruction with animation bring thousands of key physics concepts to life for students of all learning styles.
Quizboards—over 250 interactive problems with hints and real-time feedback to allow students to test their understanding of each chapter.
