Electricity and Magnetism: Stop Faking It!
Finally Understanding Science so You Can Teach It
This book aims to assist parents and educators go beyond memorizing electricity-related formulas, rules, and procedures so that they can understand the topic at a deep level - deep enough to teach it with confidence and comfort.
By covering the basics of static electricity, current electricity, and magnetism, the book develops a scientific model showing that electricity and magnetism are really the same phenomenon in different forms.
