Florida and Wisconsin have taken measures toimprove the driving environment to compensate for diminished physical and mental capacitiesamong their elderly population.THE PROBLEM Research has shown that getting drivers to renew their license in person can reducedeaths among people over 85 by nearly a fifth. However, eye tests, road tests, and more frequentlicense renewals fail to show similar results (4). Therefore, there is significance in requiringpeople to renew their license in person. Most of the states that currently have some specialprovisions for older drivers also do not allow renewal of driver's license by mail. Studies show that most seniors rely on personal automobile as

Typically the classroom experience is comprised of lectures and it is fairly commonfor the laboratory and lecture to be administered by different individuals.While this structure may be effective at processing students through the science courses, studieshave shown that it has some significant educational disadvantages. Over the past severaldecades, physics education research has shown that students were not learning the conceptsand/or were not engaged by the methods used in “traditional” physics education.1-4 Those andother studies have motivated a significant amount of research on physics education and muchprogress has been made.
