Basic Physical Concepts

We have tried to present the material in an uncomplicated way, and to make the examples entertaining, while establishing basic physical concepts and their application to materials processing. We found that the best way to do this was to identify a small set of "generic" materials of each class (of metals, of ceramics, etc.) which broadly typified the class, and to base the development on these they provide the pegs on which the discussion and examples are hung. But the lecturer who wishes to draw other materials into the discussion should not find this difficult.

Starting with basic physical concepts and synthetic techniques, the book describes how molecules assemble into highly ordered structures as single crystals and thin films, with examples of characterization, morphology and properties. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of surfaces and interfaces. The final chapter gives a personal view on future possibilities in the field. 

Physical chemistry and physics may be different fields but they have some important features in common they are abstract they both use mathematics they overlap in some content areas (such as thermodynamics and quantum mechanics). To a large extent, science and physics educators started research on basic physics concepts that also are used in physical chemistry. Consequently, physical chemistry education research owns much to the work that has been done in physics education and has much in common with it. For example, they share some of the research methodology and an interest in studying the relationship between the physical description of phenomena and its mathematics description in the learner s mind.

In conclusion, MBL tools used in the context of a carefully developed constructivist curriculum can help students develop a solid conceptual understanding of kinematics. Data show substantial and persistent learning of basic physical concepts not often learned in lectures. Similarly positive results have been observed for heat and temperature concepts.
