Have you ever taught HS Physics with the Inquiry Based Approach?
Nothing exceptionally new here, but I want to shift gears in my teaching practice and increase the Inquiry Based Approach more and more. Have you ever taught with this approach, what resources did you use, and what results you had ? Thank you for your cooperation- robertphy

Suggestions for using Math Puzzles to stimulate my math students
The question is: my students (K9-12) have received the (sadly) usual routine based Math pseudo-education, before me teaching them. The best way to curb the tide is to use Math puzzles, to re-ignite their love of Math, lost in kindergarten. Now, which book would you suggest to fight the battle...- robertphy

High School Opening this jar is made easier by cooling or heating?
I've found this question online and don't agree with the explanation given. Explanation I disagree. If you heat the jar, the diameter of the top opening increases more than the diameter of the wooden lid, making it looser. The opposite happen if you cool the jar and the lid. Can you please...- robertphy
