This item is a Power Point presentation that discusses the use of "context rich" problems in introductory physics courses. It defines the method, gives examples, and explains how to implement it. Context-rich problems are designed to place physics in a real-world context to help students develop problem solving skills. They require the student to visualize the situation, work cooperatively to decide upon a strategy, choose applicable physics principles, and evaluate the solution.
This resource is part of a larger collection of materials developed by the Minnesota Physics Education Research and Development Group. These problems place physics in a real-world context to help students develop problem-solving skills.
