Subject: Course help
I am working on the modification of a course in the physical sciences
for
education majors. I want a course that is heavy on student involvement
and experimentation. I also want to make connections between basic
principles and activities that are appropriate for elementary and
secondary schools. I am looking for resources to use in that course. Has
anyone had experience in a similar course, and can you provide me with
references or other information that would be useful in planning the
course?
Thanks.
Al Clark
I suggest you check out Physics by Inquiry by Lillian
McDermott and the Physics Education Group at The University
of Washington. It is available from John Wiley.
