However,after designing and performing the experiment, the juniors liked the assignment less. Theirpositive attitudes decreased to match the freshmen. The junior and senior attitudes were similarbefore designing the experiment. However, unlike the juniors, the seniors became more positiveafter the assignment was complete.The unexpected effects of the experimental design experience that occurred with the juniorstudents are of interest. The juniors initially felt they understood how to design an experimentbut after performing it, they did not. On the pre-survey, 95% felt

The second framework from the works of Steif 3describes the common errors that students make in their solutions of Statics problems and theStatics concepts that they represent. Findings of this study show that students who got the answerincorrect made four common errors. In conjunction, when explaining the reasoning behind theseerrors, students talked about the force(s) as represented in the problem and solution as asubstance or a material object.
