In summary, the conversation is about a person coming across an article in the '99 American Journal of Physics and being interested in the teaching method presented. They mention noticing this method being used in their school's book and wanting to find a collection of prompts specifically for forces. They mention not having the time to write their own prompts and hoping to find an experienced collection. They are recommended to check out a website like teacherspayteachers.com, which they find helpful but not exactly what they were looking for. The article they mention focuses on prompting students with mathematical formulations and having them pose related questions.

I came across an '99 American Journal of Physics article here and like the idea presented. I've noticed the book my school bought employs this method in its problems sets at times. I am looking for a collection of prompts to use with this teaching method, specifically for forces.

And yes, of course I could write my own, but that takes time. I was hoping someone might have an experienced collection. I just think these would be great for review. Thanks.

Check out a website like teacherspayteachers.com. They might have some for sale there.

Cool site, thanks. They had a "physics jeopardy" but not the same kind of thing from the journal article. The article is about prompting students with certain mathematical formulations such as

F(normal) - (60kg)(9.8m/s^2) = 0

Then having students pose a related question.
