>Hi Maxine, > >Could you tell me how RealTime Physics differs from the earlier works of >Laws, Sokolof, and Thornton? Some of the differences that I see are that vectors are introduced very early to reinforce the description of the motion that students observe. Check out the cart diagrams in Teaching About Dynamics. Students think in terms of vectors and begin associating the graphs with the equations with the vectors. They construct a Newtonian system. Second, there are homework exercises to reinforce all of the lab work. Third the division of the units fits better into the high school period. These are starters.
