This page contains a series of problems on properties of matter, developed for use with The Physics Suite, an activity-based learning project. Each problem was designed to help build qualitative understanding of physics and was built around student acquisition of knowledge as observed in recent physics education research studies. The problems vary in format and include estimation, context-based reasoning, multiple choice, short answer, qualitative questions, and essay questions. The topics include pressure, density, buoyancy, ideal gas law, and fluid flow rates.
This item is part of a larger collection of problems, in-class questions, and interactive resources developed by the University of Maryland Physics Education Research Group. See Related Materials on this page for a link to the full collection of Physics Suite problems for introductory physics courses.
