Teach the way you do research.

The overarching view that undergirds the book is that, as physics teachers, we should teach the way we do research. We shouldn’t try to reinvent the wheel, rather we build on an existing foundation of research, conduct investigations, analyze the data, and iteratively improve our practice through the conclusions we draw.

I spent some time thinking about the LAB FRQ, what it actually wants kids to do, how it relates to my labs, and how I can better prepare my students to tackle it.

Looking to bring more structure and consistency to your physics labs? A simple lab graphic organizer can streamline your students' lab experience, freeing up brainpower to focus on the science.

Facts in long-term memory are the foundation of all higher-order thinking. Your students, yes even your advanced ones, need to drill facts and figures if you want them to be able to problem-solve and engage in higher-order thinking.
