| Abstract Title: | Developing Thinking & Problem Solving Skills in Introductory Mechanics |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | We report on the Thinking in Physics (TIP) project, which helps students with weak scientific reasoning skills, as measured by low preinstruction scores on the SAT and on the Lawson Test of Scientific Reasoning Ability. We describe methods used to improve students' thinking and problem solving skills in TIP introductory mechanics classes. The project is supported by NSF grant 0633353. |
