Stock markets, unemployment, inflation and recession? While these are the areas of economics commonly in the news, the field is so much broader than this. Differential treatment is an example of how economic theories can shape public policies and individual’s opportunities. Why is differential treatment important?

Additionally, this experience provides a “behind-the-scenes” look at what organically motivates young children with science. Candidates bring this knowledge into their own classrooms to develop lessons that demonstrate phenomena that amazes and engages young science learners.

In particular, she repeatedly pushed us to explain our thinking, our “why,” our understanding of concepts, how our ideas compared with others’ ideas… When I shared, she didn’t let me get away with using the term “volatile” – she made me explain what I meant!

Here’s one idea for a process to do so, and my next blog post will detail an example of going through this process. Determine a phenomenon – considering the current unit, what relevant phenomenon would make students go “hmmmm”? Generally, phenomena don’t need to be earth-shattering ideas.

In physics students solved various problems by applying different strategies which mainly depended on the phase of the lesson or what we wanted students to achieve. Introduction. Our schools are data sources that few systematically use to improve teaching practice. The procedure and the conclusions drawn are described below. Methodology.

It is normal to expect that when we perform experiments after the topic is covered, students draw conclusions in advance based on the knowledge they have acquired so far and that they do not pay much attention to the perception of what is happening. From the graphs, they had to deduce what kind of movement it was. Introduction.

Hello Blog of Phyz world! In the interest of sharing it more widely and outside of a paywall, below is the blog-ified version of that article. The goal of this article is describe two scenarios which are commonly explained using the word inertia, even though that same word is being used to describe two different phenomena.

I’m not even sure that I like what I’m going to detail here, as I’d really want to see how it works in a classroom before passing judgement. I would start by ensuring there is a general focus on sense-making of phenomena and solving problems. As students make sense of phenomena, they use patterns to determine cause and effect.
