I want to mention how much I appreciated this response.
But on Don's multifaceted site, a quick search did not
discover 'insight questions'.
A pointer would be helpful.

Sorry. With a web page as multifaceted as mine I often forget what's there
and what I named it. The document is called "Physics problems to challenge
insight" and it's in the documents section of the "Physics" group. Also
there is the document "Physics Lecture Demonstrations".

In the section titled "Laboratory" you will find two of my documents:
"Error Analysis (non-calculus)" and "Laboratory Reports".

In the section titled "Education" you will find "Term Paper Guidelines,"
and "On Being a Student" as well as links to other documents on "How to
Study Physics."

I'm always glad to receive suggestions and corrections to correct, improve
and enhance the value of these documents.
