Book Description
Those who have used Ranking Tasks have found that they frequently elicit students' natural ideas, rather than a memorized response, about the behavior of a given physical system. In addition, asking students to consider the same situations in a variety of ways often helps them begin to correct any misconceptions they may have. When students realize that they have given different answers to variations of the same question, they begin to think about why they responded as they did in each case. This, in turn, prompts them to consider which responses they believe in more strongly, and why. The basic atructure of a Ranking Task comprise four elements: a description of the physical situation including any constraints and the basis for ranking different arrangements a set of figures showing the different arrangements of the situation to be compared a place to record the ranking of each variation a place to explain the reason for each ranking choice A CD-ROM in the back of the book provides each Ranking Task in a pdf file for ease of use in printing and copying for non-commercial classroom needs.

Book Description
This study examined the use of ranking task exercises in physics as a means to elicit student's quantitative and/or qualitative understanding of four different physics concepts. Each ranking task exercise in physics asked students to examine several different scenarios that contain a number of quantitative features and then arrange the scenarios in an ordered sequence according to some other quantitative feature. In this study, students completed four different ranking task exercises as part of their coursework in their high school physics class. The responses of students to these ranking task exercises were scored, analyzed, and categorized according to the extent to which a student's response was primarily quantitative or primarily qualitative in nature. The results show that while students relied on a combination of both qualitative and quantitative representations as they completed the exercises, the majority of students used qualitative representations in their solutions to the ranking task exercises in physics. While the students' qualitative and quantitative representations supported the students' rankings of the scenarios in each ranking task exercise, the qualitative representations used by the students provided insight into the student's current understanding of the physics concepts being investigated. The findings suggest that regardless of the representation used by the student to complete the ranking task exercise, students had difficulty in correctly ranking the scenarios in all of the ranking task exercises used in this study. While the students used both quantitative and qualitative representations in their solutions to ranking task exercises in physics that contained two quantitative variables, the study found that students relied exclusively on qualitative representations in their solutions to the ranking task exercise in physics that contained four quantitative variables.

Book Description
Physlet Physics 3E: Volume I contains a collection of exercises spanning the introductory physics sequence. These exercises use computer animations generated in JavaScript applets to show physics content on desktop and laptop computers. We call these Java applets Physlets (Physics content simulated with JavaScript applets written at Davidson College). Every chapter of Physlet Physics contains three quite different Physlet-based exercises: Illustrations, Explorations, and Problems. Illustrations are designed to demonstrate physical concepts. Explorations are tutorial in nature. Problems are interactive versions of the kind of exercises typically assigned for homework. This electronic book contains the narrative to all 800 exercises and links to the interactive content. The interactive content requires a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone and a JavaScript-enabled browser to run. The first edition of Physlet Physics was an interactive book and CD for the teaching of introductory modern physics and quantum mechanics on the college level. Physlet Physics was originally published as part of Prentice Hall’s Series in Educational Innovation. The second edition of Physlet Physics represented a major change in how the 800 Physlet-based interactive materials were delivered to teachers and students alike. Instead of accessing materials off of the CD that came with the first edition, accessed the Physlet Physics 2E AAPT ComPADRE site via a Java-enabled browser on desktop and laptop computers. For the third edition of Physlet Physics, all applets are now JavaScript and can be accessed on any device and browser via links in this book or directly at http://compadre.org/physlets/. The JavaScript-based materials described in this book run on tablets and phones, as well as desktop and laptop computers.

Book Description
TIPERs: Sensemaking Tasks for Introductory Physics gives introductory physics students the type of practice they need to promote a conceptual understanding of problem solving. This supplementary text helps students to connect the physical rules of the universe with the mathematical tools used to express them. The exercises in this workbook are intended to promote sensemaking. The various formats of the questions are difficult to solve just by using physics equations as formulas. Students will need to develop a solid qualitative understanding of the concepts, principles, and relationships in physics. In addition, they will have to decide what is relevant and what isn't, which equations apply and which don't, and what the equations tell one about physical situations. The goal is that when students are given a physics problem where they are asked solve for an unknown quantity, they will understand the physics of the problem in addition to finding the answer.
