Description
Physical Science, Eleventh Edition, is intended to serve the needs of non-science majors who are required to complete one or more physical science courses. It offers exceptional, straight-forward writing, complemented with useful pedagogical tools.
Physical Science introduces basic concepts and key ideas while providing opportunities for students to learn reasoning skills and a new way of thinking about their environment. No prior work in science is assumed. The text offers students complete coverage of the physical sciences with a level of explanation and detail appropriate for all students.
The sequence of chapters in Physical Science is flexible, and the instructor can determine topic sequence and depth of coverage as needed. The materials are also designed to support a conceptual approach, or a combined conceptual and problem-solving approach. Along with the accompanying laboratory manual, the text contains enough material for the instructor to select a sequence for a two-semester course.

New Features
Key Features
- Many new worked Examples and end of chapter Parallel Exercises have been added, especially in chapters 14 – 24, to assist students in exploring the computational aspects of the chapters and in working the end of chapter Parallel Exercises.
- A new feature, Science Sketch, engages students in creating their own explanations and analogies by challenging them to create visual representations of concepts.
- The revised Chapter 14 contains additional information on distances in space, with accompanying new worked Examples and end of chapter Parallel Exercises. This revised chapter also includes updated information on the future of our universe.
- The revised Chapter 15 includes many new images and updated information from the latest space missions. There are also many new worked Examples to assist students in exploring the computational aspects of the chapter and in working the end of chapter Parallel Exercises.
- Chapter 23 includes the most recent information on Climate Change, Causes of Global Climate Change, and Global Warming.
- The latter chapters of the text on astronomy and earth science (chapters 14 - 24) include many new in chapter worked Examples and end of chapter Parallel Exercises. Parallel Exercises are two groups of Parallel Exercises, Group A and Group B. The Group A Parallel Exercises have complete solutions worked out, along with useful comments, in appendix E of the text. The Group B Parallel Exercises are similar to those in Group A but do not contain answers in the text (available in the Instructors Manual).
Key Features
- The text includes updated content on the topics of climate change, alternative energy sources, and energy conservation: Chapter 3 includes a section on Energy Conservation and several alternative energy sources are discussed; Chapter 13 includes recent information on nuclear power; and Chapter 23 contains sections on Climate Change, Causes of Global Climate Change, and Global Warming. Chapters 2, 4, 6, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 22, and 24 all touch on the topic of sustainability.
- Professors have the option of creating a customized version of the text by selecting only the chapters they cover in lecture, allowing students a savings in book costs. Pick a pre-customized version of Physical Science, which includes the Physics and/or Chemistry volumes. Or you can use McGraw-Hill's CREATE to craft your teaching resources to match the way you teach! With CREATE, www.mcgrawhillcreate.com, you can easily rearrange chapters, combine material from other content sources, and quickly upload content you have written like your course syllabus or teaching notes.
