Cambridge Coordinated Science: Physics (Print)
Author(s): Jones; Jones; Marchington
General Description:
Book is organized into seven main subject areas: atoms, forces, energy,
waves, machines and movement, electricity, and information transfers and
control. Each topic within a subject area contains an explanation,
illustrations, and questions. Also includes summaries of circuit symbols,
useful formulae, apparatus lists, answers, and an index. Quantitative
work, word problems, and other numerical applications would have to be
obtained elsewhere. In-depth studies would require other resources.

Real-life Problems for Introductory General Physics, Second Edition (Print)
Author(s): Weichman, Frank
General Description:
Book provides background information on the topics of simple harmonic motion, sound, wave motion, fluids, physical optics, and geometrical optics, followed by extensive, practical problem-solving situations. A strong effort has been made to direct the problems toward illustrating realistic situations to give students a better understanding of technology. The second edition is improved and slightly reorganized to include three new chapters: "Mechanics," "Heat and Thermodynamics," and "Electricity and Magnetism." An instructor's manual contains solutions for the problems as well as notes to the instructor.
Caution:
Most problems require higher-level mathematics and equations not in the Applications of Physics 11/12 curriculum; however, the teacher could adapt most problems to a more suitable level.
