In November, I tried this lesson (below) in my 10th grade physics classes. I’ve decided to focus on the culture in my 10th grade physics classes. Many focus closely on the disproportionate representation (by gender, race, etc) in physics. They are pretty into physics. They view the problem as a lack of inspiration.
