Gonick and Huffman introduce a variety of physics concepts through cartoons. I ordered this book for use in my secondary science class. The cartoon characters discuss important equations, graphs, and vocabulary throughout the text, and they use this information to solve problems. For example, the Ringo calculates his acceleration as he drives along an illustrated path. This alternative introduction to various topics in physics will likely engage students who struggle with textbooks. In addition, the text could be modified (by removing some key words to create scaffolded notes) and used as illustrated notes for students to complete during class.… (mehr)
