Some Trends In College Physics And Their Reflections On High School Physics, J. E. Kasper, L. D. Flansburg
Some Trends In College Physics And Their Reflections On High School Physics, J. E. Kasper, L. D. Flansburg
Iowa Science Teachers Journal
We are much struck with the desirable results that follow from introducing brief discussions of modern physics topics during the course of ordinary, relatively routine first courses in physics for college freshmen and sophomores. We propose in this paper that teachers of secondary physics courses might well also consider the incorporation of such discussions into their courses.
