Science Magnitudes

General Science that is not general

A General Sciences course can seem like a random collection of "science topics that somebody thinks you should know." What we want is a course that is a general introduction to the measurable universe, because that is the topic of the sciences. This could be done in terms of pattern, or possibly in terms of history, but the history of science is not clear until you know some science.

Magnitudes provide a way of introducing all the disciplines in relation to each other. It's like having a history timeline. Once you see how it works, how could you not use it

The Universe in My Hands

The Universe in my Hands is a general science course in which the elements of the material universe are ordered by size and the student is introduced to the disciplines of the science as a function of their sizes. It is an unexpected match, and it makes the universe orderly, puts it in your hands, as it were.

It's a big universe, and it's easy to lose track of so many moving parts. Dividers keyed by colors for the disciplines and numbers for the orders of magnitude will help you stay aware of your size and its relationship to the sizes of other things in the universe.

-- Due to printing costs we have been forced to increase costs for the Tab Dividers.
