Follows, Mike – Physics Education, 2018
The 1969 version of "The Italian Job" is used as context for teaching turning forces and introducing or enhancing the understanding of equilibrium and Newton's Third Law of Motion. A Harrington Legionnaire coach is used as the getaway vehicle for a gold heist and the film ends on a genuine cliffhanger, with the rear half of the coach…

Nogaj, Luiza A. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2013
This article describes the conversion of a lecture-based molecular biology course into an active learning environment in a studio classroom. Specific assignments and activities are provided as examples. The goal of these activities is to involve students in collaborative learning, teach them how to participate in the learning process, and give…

Harden, R. M.; And Others – Medical Teacher, 1996
Task-based learning (TBL) is an educationally sound, effective, and efficient strategy for delivering relevant education. In TBL, the tasks of the health care professional provide the context and the focus for learning, but are not the objective of the student's learning. Students gain a basic understanding of the principles of health and disease…

Slisko, Josip; Krokhin, Arkady – Physics Teacher, 1995
Though the field of physics is moving toward more realistic problems and the use of computers and mathematical modeling to promote insightful treatment of physical problems, artificial problems still appear in textbooks in the field of electrostatics. Discusses physical arguments why one of the most popular textbook applications of Coulomb's Law…

Zollman, Dean A.; Rebello, N. Sanjay; Hogg, Kirsten – American Journal of Physics, 2002
Explains a hands-on approach to teaching quantum mechanics that challenges the belief shared by many physics instructors that quantum mechanics is a very abstract subject that cannot be understood until students have learned much of the classical physics. (Contains 23 references.) (Author/YDS)

Orlich, Donald C. – 1980
A series of classroom practices and techniques are provided to help classroom teachers overcome their anxiety in teaching science. Chapter 1 (Fearing the Unknown) focuses on reasons for teaching science in elementary grades, science processes, characteristics of inquiry, questioning and inquiry, and using small groups. Chapter 2 (Managing…

Sealey, Jean – 1985
A recognized correlate of student success in science classes is the use of teaching strategies that are learner-centered and goal-oriented. Research has shown that several practices in particular are associated with increased student achievement and with developing scientifically literate students. The focus of this paper is on scientific literacy…
