ENHANCED Pedagogy Effective pedagogy includes unit openers and chapter overviews that alert students to the most important concepts. Internal summaries clarify and remind students of what is most important. The pedagogy and EOC student aids present a "learning system" to guide students through the course. Instead of traditional titles for each section, leading questions introduce the material. Intriguing questions in section heads pique student interest and draw them into the reading material.

REVISED Everyday Phenomena Boxes Everyday Phenomena Boxes throughout the text analyze common phenomena in more detail. Many examples are drawn from sports and others include lightning, auto collisions, and television sets. These boxes emphasize the main theme of the text and give relevance to the concepts being presented and promote a better understanding of everyday events in students' lives.

ACTIVE Learning System A Learning System guides students through the book via chapter introductions, objectives, outlines, study hints, boxed inserts, chapter summaries, home experiments, and observations.
