Title: Wonder Why Students Are Flunking Science Courses?
Review: This book was cited in the Orlando Sentinel 11/20/05 for numerous errors in an article about textbook errors.Examples:*"stopping distance of a car is directly related to its momentum" (should be kinetic enery, not momentum)*"the role of gravity in the atom is not clearly understood" (gravity plays no appreciable role in the atom)*"the most advanced memory chip can store as much information as 1 million vacuum tubes can" (true in 1985, but far out of date now)Other errors were cited as well. The Sentinel quoted George Nelson of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, saying "It's a credit to science teachers that their students are learning anything at all."
