Abstract

The texts which follow illustrate the variations which can accompany a standard exercise, drawing inspiration from some of the previous thoughts. There is no attempt to provide the reader with some sort of ideal formulation, and it will doubtless be possible to find fault with some of the suggestions here. The overriding aim, however, is to open up the range of possibilities within a typical school or university framework. The suggestions here have all been put into practice by the author, and by teaching teams in first year university physics courses.
