ABSTRACT

This paper starts from a controversial after-class question in the high school physics textbook, discussing the significance of the textbook for teachers to carry out the physics class. The phenomenon of ‘Lenz double ring experiment’ in the textbook seems to reflect the content of section learning and the effect of “come to reject but go to retain” in the Lenz law. However, the actual practice has some deviations from the content of the textbook. By considering the causes of deviations and ‘moving’ or ‘not moving’ of the double ring, I have some thoughts about physics education. As a teacher, we should not only make good use of the teaching material resources (for example the physics textbook), but also modify or adjust the content of the teaching material appropriately according to the actual physics class. Moreover, we can cultivate the scientific inquiry ability in the physics core literacy according to the textbook, and effectively internalize the scientific inquiry method into the physical thinking quality of students.
