Detail Page

written by Edward F. Redish
This website contains a series of peer instruction problems on kinematics, designed to be solved in a classroom setting. The problems are presented with a qualitative (usually multiple choice) question that is carefully constructed to engage student difficulties with fundamental concepts.  Students consider the problem individually and contribute their answers using personal response systems (clickers).  Students then confer with their cooperative groups and vote again on the correct response.  Topics covered include displacement, velocity, average velocity, speed, and interpreting position and velocity graphs.

This problem set is part of the Physics Suite collection, containing sample problems, peer instruction problems, and alternative homework sets.
