Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this article, we reflect upon our positive experiences incorporating or working on extra credit projects in algebra-based introductory physics that asked students to connect physics with humanities, social sciences, and everyday life. We give an example of a student project that reflects their creativity and ingenuity and encourages other instructors to offer similar projects.
