Includes glossary and index.

"Focus on Physical Science contains many features that will help you learn. Each unit begins with a photograph and a brief introduction to the theme of the unit. A timeline points out important scientific events and their relationships to other historical events. The photograph and introductory paragraph at the beginning of each chapter describe the major theme of the chapter and relate it to your everyday life. Each chapter has several major divisions. At the beginning of each major division, a list of Goals indentifies what you will learn as you study the short, numbered sections. Margin questions printed in blue emphasize the important ideas in each section. Use these questions as self checks to evaluate your progress. Major terms are highlighted in boldface type. At the end of each major division, Review questions provide another means of self evaluation."
