Physical Sciences
Each participant will be encouraged to develop an understanding of the methods associated with phenomenological or sense-based science. Comparisons between the methods of sense-based science and more classical approaches will be both encouraged and investigated. The emphasis will be placed on developing understanding through individual experience so that later presentations in the classroom are rich and authentic. The physics curriculum in all four grades may be briefly surveyed but major emphasis in the second year will be on the 11th and 12th grades. Various discussions concerning implementation of the curriculum and the relationship to the developing adolescent will also take place.
