Inquiry-Based Approach
The text places conceptual understanding at the forefront, asking students to explore "how" and "why" rather than memorize formulas. It emphasizes engaging with real‑world phenomena—like iPods, metal detectors, sundogs, kaleidoscopes, and smoke detectors—to make physics practical and relevant
