Physics as a Process
ShelterPhysics promotes physics as a process: a way of thinking about the world. While focus on topics in physics is unavoidable—picking a topic is how we relate our experiences of the world to what physicists have to say about them—insight into the physical world arises from humans doing physics.
If we guide students' focus only toward outcomes, and not toward the lines of reasoning that lead to those outcomes, we skip the most important and useful aspect of an education in physics.

Jet on a Conveyor Belt
The airplane on the conveyor problem has been around for a while. It keeps popping up in my social media, though. I decided to approach it from a slightly different place, emphasizing the actual performance of the airplane.
Process-Based Physics Education
Principles or formulas? Content or process? Effective physics education focuses on all of these, and more.
