Learning Physics
* A conceptual flow like those found in research-based activelearning materials. Specifically, LEARNING PHYSICS begins eachtopic by considering concrete situations chosen to address commonmisconceptions, and to take advantage of students' productiveintuitions and everyday experiences to build up to the key,abstract principles.
* Clear, incrementally-developed connections between thoseprinciples and quantitative problems solving. LEARNING PHYSICSemphasizes how the approaches it develops flow directly from theunderlying concepts.
* Explicit discussion about how to learn particular concepts, andphysics in general.
* Extensive accompanying materials. Students need to work throughmany problems to practice, so each chapter has an electronic"Extension" that contains problems (ranging from medium difficultyto challenging) with completely worked out solutions in hypertextformat. Also available for instructors are in-class groupdiscussion/problem sheets, "tutorials", and conceptual labs. Allincorporate active learning.
