Book Reviews of The Cartoon Guide to Physics
Book Review: A Teacher's View of The Cartoon Guide to Physics
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm an elementary school teacher and am in the process of reading this book with the possible thought in mind of recommending for use by my sixth grade student. Conclusion: forget it. Yes, the cartoons are "really cool", but the math and the thought processes involved are way beyond the level of the typical sixth grade student. In fact, I believe that most middle school children would have problems with the math part of it unless they were well grounded in algebra.It seems to me that this book is just a catchy way to sell a trite book.
