The disputants, I ween,

Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant

Science and Measurement
Mensuration
Heuristics
The best science stimulates further discovery, often
in unpredictable new directions, and the new
knowledge provides an additional test of the original
principles that led to the discovery.

Multiple Representations
Different ways of
representing the same
physical system often
help us understand the
nature of the system.
memory. Second,. As a
result, the use of multiple
representations can be
effective in building links
between different
aspects of the situation.
Dangerous Bends
Some of the representations we use in
physics include
words
equations
tables of numbers
graphs
specialized diagrams.
