      CAN QUANTUM PHYSICS REALLY BE FOR DUMMIES? String Theory For Dummies 2nd Edition is written so that anyone can understand the basics of string theory. No quantum physics pre-requisites here! Build a foundation of physics knowledge, understand the various string theories and the math behind them, and hear what the opponents to string theory have to say. Learn close to everything about this ‘theory of everything’ and invest in your inner physicist. INSIDE: The basics of physics The scientists behind string theory Real life example Approachable math equations UPDATES: Large Hadron Collider - The Large Hadron Collider was being built when the book was originally written. The section related to it will need to be updated, including a substantial change in Chapter 12. It might also make sense to pull out a whole chapter just on the LHC and what it's done over the last decade. Higgs Boson - The information about the Higgs Boson will need to be updated with information discovered in research at the Large Hadron Collider. Gravitational Waves - Gravitational waves were first detected in 2015 (resulting in the 2015 Nobel prize), which would result in changes in both Chapters 9 & 12, at least. Sparticles - The lack of discovery of supersymmetric particles at the Large Hadron Collider would need to be covered, as well as the implications that these particles haven't been discovered at the energy levels being studied.

      Homework with Impact

      • 152 pages
      • 6 hours of reading

      "This book reveals the types of homework activity that are most beneficial to pupils' attainment and makes practical sense of the research on homework and how it can be used most effectively. Suggesting ways in which the impact of homework can be improved, this book offers practical ideas, strategies, and activities that teachers can implement, trial, and adopt in their own classrooms. Linking current evidence from cognitive psychology on retrieval practice, spacing and interleaving to the setting of homework, the book includes: suggestions for effective preparation tasks; a discussion on metacognition and how this can help pupils revise and complete schoolwork independently; an overview of how we can effectively check homework; the importance of feedback; how schools can support pupils and parents with homework as well as the importance of having a crystal-clear homework policy. This is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders wanting to ensure their homework activities have a real impact on student's learning"--
