Ancillaries

Physical Science is accompanied by a variety of supplementary materials, including an interactive student CD-ROM, an instructor's manual with a test bank containing multiple choice test items for the text, a laboratory manual, an instructor's edition of the laboratory manual, overhead transparencies, and testing software for both the Macintosh and Windows programs. A text-specific website offering unlimited resources for both the student and instructor is found at: www.mhhe.com/tillery.

CD-ROM has book-specific study aids organized per chapter. Each chapter includes animations modeling key concepts discussed in the book, interactive questions and problems, practice quizzes, and crossword puzzles using key terms and glossary definitions. Also included on the CD-ROM are guest essays written by professors which expose students to a different viewpoint on a topic or a new research project. For instructors, there is an image bank containing the images from the textbook. This interactive resource is packaged with the textbook.

On-Line Learning Center is a text-specific website providing instructional resources for both the students and the instructor. With a home page dedicated to both students and instructors, each will be able to access their own Table of Contents page, which will provide links to many resources. Available are links to chapter resources, links to web-related resources, on-line quizzes, and links to collaborative exercises. Thought provoking questions and "Invitations to Inquiry" laboratory situations and PowerPoint presentations are also provided as on-line teaching tools. A link to the text's bulletin board provides a medium of exchange between instructors and students, and a link to a text information page describes all available resources. By way of this website, students and instructors will be better able to quickly incorporate the Internet into their classroom.

Laboratory Manual, written and classroom tested by the textbook author, presents a selection of laboratory exercises specifically written for the interest and abilities of nonscience majors. There are laboratory exercises which require measurement, data analysis, and thinking in a more structured learning environment. Alternative exercises that are open-ended "Invitations to Inquiry" are provided for instructors who would like a less structured approach. When the laboratory manual is used with Physical Science, students will have an opportunity to master basic scientific principles and concepts, learn new problem solving and thinking skills, and understand the nature of scientific inquiry from the perspective of hands-on experiences.

Instructor's Edition of the Laboratory Manual, also written by the textbook author, provides helpful procedural guides, safety reminders, responses to the questions and Invitations to Inquiry, and results for the laboratory exercises.

Instructor's Manual/Test Bank, also written by the text author, provides a chapter outline, an introduction/summary of each chapter, suggestions for discussion and demonstrations, multiple choice questions (with answers) that can be used as resources for cooperative teaching, and answers and solutions to all end-of-chapter questions and exercises not provided in the text.

Computerized Test Bank (Macintosh and Windows) This computerized version of the test bank allows you to efficiently select, add, and organize questions, such as by type of question or level of difficulty. You may also print tests along with answer keys and have the ability to edit the original questions.

Transparencies A collection of 200 four-color illustrations from the text is provided on acetate for use with overhead projectors.
