Books by David Boyce

The usual route into Engineering comes through the gaining of specific Engineering qualifications at University level. The A level candidate will probably have studied Maths, Physics and D&T in secondary school. In recent years students have been increasingly opting for vocational career pathways and this includes into Engineering. Therefore the teaching of the skills required by an engineer, should not be saved for further education but should be interwoven into the teaching and learning of STEM subjects at the secondary school level. Cross curricular Engineering requires all STEM subjects to look at their own classroom practice and develop learning experiences that require creative, practical hands on problem solving, using materials to produce a desired outcome. This book is a collection of Physics experiments that require the student to solve problems using Engineering.

This workbook provides a wealth of problems and activities to support the learning of anybody studying GCSE or IGCSE Physics (9-1). Each chapter provides activities which range in difficulty from simple vocabulary use to problem solving that will stretch the most able in the classroom. This is a guide for the student and a resource for the teacher. The worksheets can be removed from the book, photocopied and used freely by the classroom teacher in their first wave teaching, revision or homework setting.Featured inside include resources on the following topics1 Forces and motion2 Electricity3 Waves4 Energy resources and energy transfers5 Solids, liquids and gases6 Magnetism and electromagnetism7 Radioactivity and particles8 Astrophysics

David was always meant to explore the back roads of the American southwest. For him, the more remote, the better; and the more beautiful, the more intellectually enticing. He always wanted to see for himself what those empty places on the map actually looked like. As a teenager, he hiked across Yosemite, harvested crops up the coast, and climbed major peaks in three states. As a Navajo speaker, he spent many years on the Indian Reservation, as a missionary and as a trader. Back in Utah, he began studying the geology of the Colorado Plateau. He has worked many jobs, including small business owner, miner, prospector, and assayer. But the job of geologist/tour guide for the local university was meant for him. A visitor on one of his tours described him as "...an inspiring example of a person following his interests until he found his calling." True, David feels that sharing the southwest is his destiny. If he could live anywhere he wanted, he would choose southern Utah.
