I am a new teacher this year, teaching honors physics 1 and 2.  Next
year, I will probably have regular and honors courses.  My question is:

What do you consider to be the significant differences between honors and
nonhonors physics?  Also, what do you consider to be the most appropriate
way to teach 2nd year physics--do you rework old material with more
depth, do innovative labs and projects, or maybe something in between?

Thanks for your comments.

Houston, Texas      : extra manpower or funding, and our side activities
                    : produced acceptable and publishable results--G. Binnig
