Assignment:
Read the article "Lovatt Resistance is not Futile" from The Physics Teacher journal and respond to the following prompts:
1. What are some of the common difficulties your students encounter when learning about air resistance? If you do not teach about air resistance, what do you anticipate would cause your students difficulty?
2. What ideas does this paper give you about how to teach air resistance? If you are currently teaching, include in your response if and how you discuss air resistance with your students.
I am not strict on length requirements. The content of what you write is what is important. Just try to keep your response for both prompts together around 1 page.
