Simply Physics

Gr 9 Up–A clear, visually engaging introduction to key physics concepts for high school readers and beyond. This well-organized reference book provides a solid foundation in STEM by presenting complex ideas in accessible, conceptual terms. True to DK’s signature style, the book is highly image-driven, using diagrams, models, and illustrations to clarify content. Its use of calming, colorful layouts supports readability and comprehension, particularly for visual learners. This design enhances engagement and also aids in understanding sometimes abstract and challenging concepts. The text strikes a valuable balance: it’s simple enough to grasp, but comprehensive enough to serve as a credible reference. Though more conceptual than mathematical, the book covers core topics, such as forces, energy, motion, atomic structure, and more in ways that make connections to everyday life. As a result, it can reinforce learning in physics classes and even serve as a useful resource for chemistry instruction, particularly in explaining atoms, subatomic particles, and chemical bonds. This is a solid classroom supplement and an invitation for readers to see the relevance of physics in the world around them. Whether used independently or alongside curriculum materials, this is a strong resource for students, educators, and curious readers alike.
