Re: Introductory Physics Class

[Joseph Bellina <jbellina@SAINTMARYS.EDU>]

There are several good programs for this, the oldest being Lillian
McDermott's Physics and Inquiry which is designed for teaching
perservice teachers.  The books are available from Wiley.
You can also spend some time with them for just the cost of travel this
coming summer...I suspect they will still have NSF money for there
workshops.
