Trust experienced and best-selling authors to navigate the new syllabuses confidently with these coursebooks that implement inquiry-based and conceptually-focused teaching and learning.

- Ensure a continuum approach to concept-based learning through active student inquiry; our authors are not only IB Diploma experienced teachers but are also experienced in teaching the IB MYP and have collaborated on our popular MYP by Concept series.

- Build the skills and techniques covered in the Tools (Experimental techniques, Technology and Mathematics) with direct links to the relevant parts of the syllabus; these skills also provide the foundation for practical work and internal assessment.

- Integrate Theory of Knowledge into your lessons with TOK boxes and Inquiries that provide real-world examples, case studies and questions. The TOK links are written by the author of our bestselling TOK coursebook, John Sprague and Paul Morris, our MYP by Concept series and Physics co-author.

- Develop approaches to learning with ATL skills identified and developed with a range of engaging activities with real-world applications.

- Explore ethical debates and how scientists work in the 21st century with Nature of Science boxes throughout.

- Help build international mindedness by exploring how the exchange of information and ideas across national boundaries has been essential to the progress of science and illustrates the international aspects of science.

- Consolidate skills and improve exam performance with short and simple knowledge-checking questions, exam-style questions, and hints to help avoid common mistakes.

Industry Reviews

The syllabus is very well presented and clearly focused to the assessment but learning Physics is in the foreground. This is nicely done! The author covers the syllabus as well as going beyond to transmit a broad knowledge and understanding of Physics. The organization of the book follows the same order of topics as the IB Physics Guide.

Each topic opens with the "Guiding Questions" and is then separated into sub-topics identified by the corresponding IB syllabus content or "Understanding" in wording identical to that used in the IB Physics Guide. The subtopics are presented in an order that makes sense in terms of the Physics, so that reading flows easily.

The book covers all "Guidance" points. There are many indications of International Mindedness implicit in the text, as exercises, explanations or pictures. There are many Tools, TOK, NoS and ATL boxes as well as worked examples and advice (Top Tips and Common mistakes). Extra vocabulary and information allow for a more complete presentation of the Physics. There are many different types of exercises as well as checkpoints for students to practice, including IB paper questions at the end of each topic.

I have enjoyed reviewing the book and hope my input contributes to making it a better coursebook. Thank you for the opportunity to participate. I so [heart] IB Physics!
