Those who have used Ranking Tasks have found that they frequently elicit students' natural ideas, rather than a memorized response, about the behavior of a given physical system. In addition, asking students to consider the same situations in a variety of ways often helps them begin to correct any misconceptions they may have. When students realize that they have given different answers to variations of the same question, they begin to think about why they responded as they did in each case. This, in turn, prompts them to consider which responses they believe in more strongly, and why. The basic atructure of a Ranking Task comprise four elements: a description of the physical situation including any constraints and the basis for ranking different arrangements a set of figures showing the different arrangements of the situation to be compared a place to record the ranking of each variation a place to explain the reason for each ranking choice A CD-ROM in the back of the book provides each Ranking Task in a pdf file for ease of use in printing and copying for non-commercial classroom needs.
