Overview∗ A conceptual flow like those found in research–based active learning materials. Specifically, LEARNING PHYSICS begins each topic by considering concrete situations chosen to address common misconceptions, and to take advantage of students′ productive intuitions and everyday experiences to build up to the key, abstract principles. ∗ Clear, incrementally–developed connections between those principles and quantitative problems solving. LEARNING PHYSICS emphasizes how the approaches it develops flow directly from the underlying concepts. ∗ Explicit discussion about how to learn particular concepts, and physics in general. ∗ Extensive accompanying materials. Students need to work through many problems to practice, so each chapter has an electronic ""Extension"" that contains problems (ranging from medium difficulty to challenging) with completely worked out solutions in hypertext format. Also available for instructors are in–class group discussion/problem sheets, ""tutorials"", and conceptual labs. All incorporate active learning.
