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 ...

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 ...

John Lukowski, a first-year electrical engineering major, competed in the International Young Physicists’ Tournament in Thailand over the summer. Lukowski’s team presented solutions to nearly 20 ...

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 ...

Explore the critical angle condition that determines the motion of a spool under applied force. This physics problem breaks down the concepts step by step, explaining when the spool rolls forward, ...

In The Physics Teacher, a physics professor-turned-AI-researcher explores the uses of generative AI to teach physical science. Gerd Kortemeyer compares the constantly increasing physics capabilities ...
