Re: misconception testing?

The Operation Physics Project created a True/False listing of several pages of
"Naive Misconceptions" that I have on a disk somewhere (probably in Apple II
format which will have to be converted). I you are interested in this listing
I will be glad to make the effort to find it, convert it and post it to the
list.
