Inquiry Into Physics, 8th Edition, continues to emphasize the inquiry approach to learning physics by asking students to try things, to discover relationships between physical quantities on their own, and to look for answers in the world around them. To build conceptual understanding, this arithmetic-based text includes Physics to Go activities, Concept Maps, and periodic conceptual quizzes. The Applications feature demonstrates the use of physical concepts in areas such as astronomy, medicine, environmental science and cultural studies. Historical development of physics are also reviewed and vignettes about the scientists who made new discoveries possible are included -- elements that are particularly relevant as context for non-science majors.
