At the same time, there is a growing need to educate young people in science technology and mathematics (STEM). Reaching non-science majors with the basic principles of physics presents a particularly unique challenge. This work is designed to appeal to a range of students and presents scientific principles through the technology and inventions of ancient China. Detailed experiments are included which enable students to analyze ancient technology using modern laboratory techniques. Each experiment introduces the historical context and provides associated Chinese vocabulary. On the surface, these experiments involve recreating a Chinese technology. On a deeper level, we find connections to the scientific method and techniques of experimental analysis. Thus, an activity such as making paper, turns into a lesson on statistics and graphical analysis. Topics included in this volume cover one-dimensional motion, energy conservation, rotational equilibrium and elasticity. We also explore the nature of science and include an introduction to the Chinese language. Laboratory experiments include constructing a weighing balance and the stress-strain analysis of silk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Marone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643274600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643274607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morgan \u0026amp; Claypool\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Matt Marone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440850579711,"sku":"9781643274607","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1bdb21d7-1a68-4f74-9209-21cb5e727439.jpg?v=1777187088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-physics-through-ancient-chinese-matt-marone-9781643274607","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
