• Resumen

  • Almost a random walk across insecure stepping stones, this second article on causes of errors deals with misconceptions which seem to persist in many areas of school science. Most of the examples are in physics, although mathematics and biology are included. Little attempt has been made to explain and correct most of the errors. Full explanations would require a much longer article, but the ideas are offered to encourage teachers to think carefully about the accuracy of information presented to students.
