Module Manuscript Checklist N ote: All editors have been instructed to track changes and refrain from deleting comments.

General² F ile has appropriate filename that reflects editorial stage.

² SME comments appropriate edits made; if not made, justification for no edit provided in acomment

² Tabl es all tables numbered and formatted per guidelines² Equa tions (in- line) all math equations/expressions containing any variable and/or

superscripts/subscripts is an M S Equation 3.0 object; equations are properly formatted perguidelines

² Equa tions (on sep ara te line) - all math expressions containing any variable and/orsuperscripts/subscripts is an M S Equation 3.0 object; Equation numbers that appeared in Uronehave been deleted and replaced with a comment noting the original equation number

² Equa tion o bj ects ( all ) -- Vectors in bold, not italics; magnitudes of vectors in italics, no bold;

units in Roman; units always specified; subscripts almost always Roman (see Urone 2E Glossaryfor exceptions)

² R efe rences to Equ a tions references by equation number have been replaced by the equationitself

² R efe rences to othe r modu les/ch apte rs by number have been removed (preferred) or replacedby the title of the chapter/module and tagged per guidelines; note to production included as acomment

² R efe rences to Ex a mp les are by title, not number² Misconception al e rts and other Call outs added per S ME comments² Summ ary bullets are present for each module, excluding intro module; glossary terms are not

tagged as such in the summary² Key te rms tagged as a term on first mention within the module and in the Glossary, but not in

the Summary Gloss ary -- appears in any module that contains any key terms tagged as such inthe module text; otherwise may be omitted

² Any Check You r Unde rst a nding Questions have answers² Any P hET simu la tions appear at end of appropriate module

(http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/new )² Measurable Lear ning O bj ectives present for each module² Key Wo rds present for each module

² Exa mp les formatted properly. Example number removed and replaced with comment providingoriginal number.

² Call outs have titles² Footnotes removed and integrated into text² Spe llcheck performed

Art ² P hotos/I llust ra tions - figures (and all figure references), including those in questions and

problems, have been re-numbered and tagged per guidelines² P hotos all are CC -BY and caption includes credit² Ca ptions have been edited to reflect any changes to/replacements of Urone art/photos² A lt text all photos and illustrations and tables contain alternate text; an empty alt tag is

permissible only if the caption provides all necessary information² A lt text does not include formatted text or equation objects; language and style is consistent

with CNX Physics_alt_text_guidelines

E nd-of-Module Conceptual Questions and Problems² Conceptu al Questions have been inserted near the end of the appropriate module from the

EOC Problems/ Solutions document. ( Some modules may have none, but all of the original end-of-chapter C onceptual Questions should be accounted for across modules.)

² P robl ems and A nswe rs to eve ry othe r p robl em have been inserted at the end of the

appropriate module from the EO C Problems/ Solutions document; all math content is present viaequation objects. ( Some modules may have none, but all of the original end-of-chapterProblems should be accounted for across modules.)

² N o Dup lica tes - no individual C onceptual Question or Problem should appear in more than onemodule

² R efe rences to problems by number are replaced with relative reference or repetition of theoriginal question.

² F igu re specs, alt tags, tags, references are complete and appropriate

F ormatting

² Entire document is Times N ew Roman 11 pt with 1.0 spacing and 0 point autospace betweenline breaks, no right justification
