Reviews

My daughter has chosen to study both Biology and Physics for her IGCSE’s and we have been using the Super Simple Biology book as part of her reading for her Biology so I suspected we would do the same with the Super Simple Physics book, which is why I was eager to review it.

First impressions – it is set out in the same format as it’s two sister books (The Super Simple Biology and Super Simple Chemistry books). This means visually appealing pages – lots of stunning photographs and detailed illustrations which explain the concepts beautifully for visual learners. Key facts are included in a little box on each page and information is written in very concise paragraphs. Both my daughter and I find these pages inviting and we find the explanations really well worded and easy to understand.

But I must stress – this is not a student book or a workbook. This is an “extra” reading book. We look at this series as a great summary book, a book which explains concepts really well for visual learners. All concepts that the kids will cover in their Physics are in this book but it focuses on key facts and key points (there is detail and practical experiments that will be covered in their student books that are not covered in this book).

My daughter likes having more than one source for her subjects because sometimes the wording in her student book may be a bit confusing but when she turns to one of these books she will see a diagram or a slightly different worded explanation and then it will just make sense. Or she may understand the wording in her student book but possibly this book has a slightly different graph or a different illustration and by seeing that she suddenly links two concepts that she was not linking before. So for us this is part of how we learn, we use multiple sources, and we like visual representations of a concept so this just works for us.

Content wise what exactly does it cover (I thought photographs of the contents page was easier than we trying to list it out as it really is A LOT).
