I teach our "regular" physics class using conceptual physics. This course is designed for students who are probabally college bound but do not plan on majoring in any area of science. Our "honors" physics class is much more math based and what I would call more "old fashioned" or "traditional" at least in the types of problems that are covered. Also in honors physics I have students do labs that have more math and formulas and each student must keep a detailed lab book as they would do in a college course. Write-ups are usually around 4-10 pages. In our "regular" physics the labs are much less math based and the lab books that come with the conceptual physics package are used. >What do you consider to be the significant differences between honors and >nonhonors physics?
