PHY125 Activity Sheets

Physics 410 uses integrated lecture and lab as the instructional method for presenting introductory physics content in a manner that shows that science can be an exciting and rewarding experience for all students. Extensive use of cooperative team learning is used in order to help address the different learning styles of class participants.

This course is designed for elementary education students as a pre-service course for future teachers. It presents physics concepts in an enquiry based atmosphere. Content and interactive lectures are seamlessly combined with hands-on laboratory exercises to give both conceptual and kinetic understanding of physics principles.
