We are thankful to the physics faculty and high
school physics teachers who volunteered to make
these translations. Please reply to me, Jane
Jackson <jane.jackson@asu.edu>, if you know of
translations in more languages, or if you'd like
to translate the FCI or MBT into another language.

"Modeling is about making and using scientific
descriptions (models) of physical phenomena and
processes. Modeling Instruction is an inquiry
method for teaching science by actively engaging
students in all aspects of scientific modeling."
"Imagination is the faculty for making and
manipulating mental models." -- David Hestenes
