Entitled What College Physics Students Can Learn From Little Kids, it's a revealing look at how fifth graders and college freshmen think about basic physics questions in the same incorrect way. The principles in questions are Newton's laws of motion. Based on some simple, unguided observations, most students of both ages suppose that constant force is required for constant motion and objects left to their own devices will eventually … [Read more...] about Science Corner: We Probably Think This World Is About Us
