Re: [Phys-L] peer instruction

["Anthony Lapinski" <alapinski@pds.org>]

Peer instruction -- introduced (I think) by Eric Mazur at Harvard in the
early 90s

www.amazon.com/Peer-Instruction-Manual-Eric-Mazur/dp/0135654416/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446832227&sr=8-1&keywords=mazur+peer

Teach a topic, ask some multiple choice questions, kids vote, then they
share with each other to reach an answer. So I am looking for online
sources of bio and chem multiple questions (not videos). There are many
for physics.

Thanks for the web links. I'm sure they are useful. I may check them out,
but they are not what I was looking for.
