As much as I appreciate Richard Hake's posting, I take issue with this one.
The Phys-L posts have revolved around the kinesthetic experiences of pushing
bowling balls, cars, bikes, etc. You can't much more kinesthetic than that.
It also seems to me that real-life experiences that vary slightly every day
and also occur everyday provide powerful contexts for learning, for
continual reinforcement of learning, and for the transfer of that learning.

We often use cars, bikes, and bowling balls, whereas we rarely push large
blocks of dry ice on glass.

I think most of the eight Phys-L posts

in response to Justin have missed the importance of Arons's sage
emphasis on KINESTHETIC EXPERIENCE in overcoming preconceptions. To
