| Abstract | "Physics 3D Virtual Laboratory describes 35 Physics practicals at GCSE level, undergraduate level and beyond. Each practical includes background information, a description of the equipment needed and how the experiments are performed. Uniquely, for those without access to a real laboratory, this book comes with free access to highly detailed 3D simulations of all the experiments. These are the same as in the Virtual Physics Laboratory as reviewed and given the Green Tick by the Association for Science Education. They don't just give ideal results, they need to be done with care to get good results. This is the ideal study guide for the school or university student who wants to improve their knowledge of physics and experimental skills. Thanks to its clear explanations and descriptions, the book is also accessible to those that are learning on their own"-- Provided by publisher. |
