This is one of a group of "classroom research" tools you can use to find
out what is happening in your class.  I'm not sure that the 1 min
question works well in physics, since not everythingis patently obvious
to the most casual observer, and may require some thought.

Others can be found in the books by Tom D'Angelo...the idea originally
came from Pat Cross.
