This web site provides a collection of classroom activities for use in large introductory college physics classes on the topics of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and optics. The activities include "pencil and paper" questions meant for student discussion, problems formulated specifically for whiteboards, and low cost experiments for student investigations. Solutions are provided for the problems and the questions raised in the experiments.
