Personalize learning with MasteringPhysics®
MasteringPhysics is the leading online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to improve results by helping students quickly master concepts. Students benefit from self-paced tutorials, featuring specific wrong-answer feedback, hints, and a wide variety of educationally effective content to keep them engaged and on track. Robust diagnostics and unrivalled gradebook reporting allow instructors to pinpoint the weaknesses and misconceptions of a student or class to provide timely intervention.
Hints and answer-specific Feedback in Mastering offer help similar to what students would experience in an office hour.
Gradebook Diagnostics: With a single click, charts summarize the most difficult problems, vulnerable students, and grade distribution allowing for just-in-time teaching to address student misconceptions.
NEW! Learning Catalytics™ is a “bring your own device” student engagement, assessment, and classroom intelligence system. With Learning Catalytics you can:
Assess students in real time, using open-ended tasks to probe student understanding.
Understand immediately where students are and adjust your lecture accordingly.
Improve your students’ critical-thinking skills.
Access rich analytics to understand student performance.
Add your own questions to make Learning Catalytics fit your course exactly.
Manage student interactions with intelligent grouping and timing.
Enhanced End-of-Chapter Problems now offer additional support such as problem-solving strategy hints, relevant math review and practice, links to the eText, and links to related Video Tutor Solutions. These enhanced problems bridge the gap between guided tutorials and traditional homework problems.
Video Tutor Demonstrations feature “pause-and-predict” demonstrations of key physics concepts and incorporate assessment as the student progresses to actively engage them in understanding the key conceptual ideas underlying the physics principles.
PhET Tutorials prompt students to engage with the renowned PhET simulations and test students’ conceptual understanding. PhET Simulations are interactive tools that help students make connections between real life phenomena and the underlying physics.
Math Review Tutorials help students review and remediate their math weaknesses with hints and answer specific feedback.
Math Remediation found within selected tutorials provides just-in-time math help and allows students to brush up on the most important mathematical skills needed to successfully complete assignments.
MasteringPhysics tracks student performance against your Learning Outcomes. Mastering offers a data-supported measure to quantify students’ learning gains and to share those results quickly and easily:
Add your own or use the publisher-provided learning outcomes to track student performance and report it to your administration.
View class performance against the specified learning outcomes.
Export results to a spreadsheet that you can further customize and/or share with your chair, dean, administrator, or accreditation board.
Prepare for lecture
NEW! Prelecture Videos, presented by co-author Brian Jones, are assignable through MasteringPhysics and expand on the ideas in the textbook’s Chapter Previews, giving context, examples, and a chance for students to practice the concepts they are studying via short multiple-choice questions.
Class Videos present the most interactive parts of Brian Jones’ engaging, dynamic lectures, encouraging student participation by asking them questions throughout. These class videos, in addition to problem-solving strategy and relevant demonstration videos, are accessible to students via QR codes in the book or links in the eText.
Enhanced Lecture PowerPoint® slides include expanded reading questions, concept-check clicker questions, and a wealth of chapter content and examples in order to provide continuity with the textbook and reinforce the importance of careful reading of the text.
Understand the big picture
NEW! Enhanced Chapter Previews are streamlined, focused on the three most important ideas, and tied to specific learning objectives. In addition, they explicitly mention the one or two most important concepts from past chapters, and finish with a new “Stop to Think” question, giving students a chance to build on their knowledge from previous chapters and integrate it with new content they are about to read.
NEW! Synthesis Boxes bring together key concepts, principles, and equations in order to highlight connections and differences. More than a summary, they emphasize deeper relations and point out common or contrasting details.
NEW! Concept Check Figures encourage students to actively engage with a key or complex figure by asking them to reason with a related “Stop to Think” question.
NEW! Expanded “Stop to Think” Questions provide students with more crucial practice and concept checks as they go through the chapters. Approximately 100 of these popular Stop to Think exercises have been added for this edition.
NEW! Looking Back Pointers in the body of the text provide “just-in-time” references that encourage students to refer back to relevant material from earlier chapters.
New concepts are introduced through observations about the real world and theories grounded by making sense of observations. This inductive approach illustrates how science operates, and has been shown to improve student learning.
Unique visual chapter summaries help students organize their knowledge in a coherent hierarchy, rather than a jumbled set of disconnected facts, figures, and equations.
Develop problem-solving skills
A consistent three-step approach provides a problem-solving framework throughout the book: Students learn to analyze a problem from several qualitative perspectives and plan the solution (in the PREPARE step) before treating it mathematically (SOLVE) and then analyzing their result (ASSESS).
NEW! Problem-Solving Strategy Overviews provide the “big picture” for problem-solving, giving clear statements of what types of problems a strategy is intended for and how to use it. This makes the strategy more self-contained and therefore more useful as a reference.
Tactics Boxes give explicit procedures for developing specific skills (drawing free-body diagrams, using ray tracing, etc.).
Expanded Reasoning Help assists students as they work through worked examples by ensuring all steps are adequately fleshed out and the final assessment shows students how to take a critical look at the answer to see if it’s reasonable.
Expanded Use of Annotations in Equations helps students to further decipher what equations “say” and what the variables and units are.
Integrated Examplesat the end of each chapter demonstrate problem solving in the context of a capstone, multi-concept real-world scenario. They are designed to help students to bridge the gap fr I. FORCE AND MOTION
