Thoughts on the teaching and learning of physics. Skip to primary content. So, the day has arrived. March 7, 2012. How can I teach modern topics such as particle and nuclear physics, or Special and General relativity using models? How can I get students to truly understand the implications and subtleties of Newton’s Laws without them thinking that they understand them because they’ve managed to memorize them? And Frank Noschese at Action-Reaction. I had discussions regarding growth and fixed mindsets.

Thoughts on the teaching and learning of physics. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Monthly Archives: March 2012. Relativity on an Escalator. March 15, 2012. This year, I was determined to do it differently. As I thought about alternate approaches I recalled a Dan Meyer posting where he had created a video of himself walking up and down stairs and escalators. Where did he film the video? Was the person in the video a clone/quadruplet? Four videos of Dan are shown simultaneously). On the...

Thoughts on the teaching and learning of physics. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. I am a high school physics teacher in Pennsylvania who teaches using the modeling method. August 17, 2012. After a brief (well, 5 months) blog and twitter hiatus due to personal circumstances, my life is once again resuming some semblance of normalcy… just in time for school to start! I’m now returning with some posts (and questions) about SBG in my classes this year. I adopted the Modeling Method. For a...

Reflections on the dynamics of teaching. Physics Applets and Animations. 8220;Is it getting hot in here? Project Work: Group or Individual? Labs, Notebooks, and Reports: For What Purpose? May 23, 2013. I’ve gone through various other incarnations of notebooks, reports, whiteboards, packets, etc. in my 15 years of teaching. My handwritten reflection for what to do next year are below. I think it captures the best of all those previous systems while still maintaining a reasonable workload. This entry was p...

Model Building on Spring Break | Non-Inertial Teaching
https://noninertialteaching.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/model-building-on-spring-break
Teaching girls. Teaching physics. Model Building on Spring Break. When we return from Spring Break, we will be spending our time investigating the nature of light. What is it? How does it move? How does sight work? This study will include things like shadows, mirrors and lenses. We’ll look at the difference between colored light and the white light we receive from the Sun. In preparation for this study, I want you to spend some time during Spring Break doing one thing:. What is a light-related phenomenon?

Modeling Workshop: Behind the Curtain | Non-Inertial Teaching
https://noninertialteaching.wordpress.com/2013/06/09/modeling-workshop-behind-the-curtain
Teaching girls. Teaching physics. Modeling Workshop: Behind the Curtain. The idea of introducing a room full of my colleagues to modeling instruction and teaching them how to use it in their classrooms is intimidating and exciting at the same time. Tomorrow is the first day of the workshop and it primarily involves introductions, the distribution of materials and paperwork, but we may have time to start on the ball bounce intro lab. Our plan for the next three weeks looks something like this:. Though, in...
