Peer reviewedRoth, Wolff-Michael – Science Teacher, 1991
Several types of physics activities that use real-world problems to motivate learners, use computers to assist in developing conceptual understandings, connect problem situations to mathematical models, and use the models to analyze other real-world problems are presented. The topics of racing sports, sailing, and damped harmonic oscillations are…

A central fallacy of traditional science education is its focus on laboratory science as the touchstone against which science teaching and learning should be compared. This approach teaches students to see the world with the eyes of science rather than to build their own view of the world; it favors students becoming conformist rather than…
