Neil Downie believes that supporting students to devise, build and test their own projects can help to get them and their teachers interested in and enjoying physics Practical solutions Students who ...

The best questions are always the ones that don't have a single clear answer. In my physics classes, I like to present students with problems that can promote a lively discussion—and to do that, they ...

It's still near the beginning of the semester for most introductory physics courses—so it's not too late to give some physics advice. I know it might be hard to believe—at least it is for me—but I ...

A new study showed that, when confronted with physics problems, new parts of a student's brain are utilized after receiving instruction in the topic. Parts of the brain not traditionally associated ...

Parts of the brain not traditionally associated with learning science become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems, a new study shows. The researchers, led by Eric Brewe, PhD ...
