For instance, for the
incorrect statement considered in the previous section, “The
equations for real gases consist of the parameters .....”, a
blank space will be left in place of the verb; the verbs
proposed for selection will include contains, consists, and
others that might have been encountered in students’ writings
on real gases equations; the explanation associated with
contains will explain that it informs that the parameters are
present in the equations, but are not the only items present; the
explanation associated with consists will explain that its use
implies that only those parameters are present in the equations,
and nothing else; the visualization associated with contains
will show the complete equations (e.g., the van der Waals
equation), possibly highlighting the parameters; the
visualization associated with consists will show only the
parameters, and some sentence or symbol would aptly warn
that this is meaningless.
