MyThreeSons Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 check out this site: http://www.arborsci.com/next-time-questions It is a compilation of those thought-provoking, often counter-intuitive, questions that are found throughout Hewitt's Physics texts. They are best used, as the site says, by giving the question to your student, and letting him chew on it for a day or two before going over it. They do a great job of getting the kids to really think about the concepts rather than just plug and chug to solve problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BakersDozen Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I love this board! Maybe one of these years I'll actually contribute something useful; until then I'll continue to glean and be amazed at what you all find/share. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
