Physics Today 1

At the end of each chapter, Physics Today 1 presents a section entitled Investigations. Many interesting activities can be selected from this section. One advantage of using these investigations is that they are open-ended, and no procedure is given. Students have to design their own experiments to investigate the problem being explored.
