About the Program

Using Glencoe Physics: Principles and Problems, you can:

  • Actively involve students though Launch Labs—inquiry-based labs at the beginning of each chapter.
  • Address student needs with a consistent three-step Example Problem that includes unique helpful math hints that students can use as they work through problems.
  • Coach your students with unique blue annotations in the Example Problems. Practice Problems provide immediate feedback so every student has the opportunity to master skills that apply to related physics concepts.
  • Help students see the direct connections between math and physics principles. Connecting Math to Physics offers additional math support for every student.
  • Motivate students with Challenge Problems that are designed after the open-ended questions on the Advanced Placement Physics exam with more in-depth applications and problem solving.
  • Provide maximum flexibility in your classroom with Design Your Own Labs, Traditional Labs, and Internet Labs. Probeware technology versions for many of the labs are available on the Web site, physicspp.com.

Additional Details & Resources

Research Base

  • Research Base for Chemistry and Physics
    This article shows how Glencoe's Physics program was designed from the National Science Education Standards, which include the following four tenants: Science is for all students; Learning science is an active process; School science reflects the intellectual and cultural traditions that characterize the practice of contemporary science; and, Improving science education is part of systemic education reform. References of the research base can be viewed at the end of the document.

Randomized Controlled Studies

  • Efficacy Study of Glencoe Chemistry and Physics
    This report describes 13 schools in seven districts that have been successful in teaching chemistry and physics concepts, as evidenced by student performance and attitude, feedback from students and parents, and responses from teachers. These results demonstrate the benefits of effective chemistry and physics curricula programs, as well as successful teaching practices.
