We
propose a project that has the potential of expanding
physics beyond the classroom into the entire community.
The skills of problem solving and inquiry will benefit
all aspects of society from increasing job efficiency
to raising children.
We
see the ultimate program as a multi-step process
as follows:
- Expand
the classroom to the hallway
- Expand
the hallway to the home
- Expand
the student to the parent
- Expand
the parent to the job and community
In
our high school, and we believe this is true in
most high schools, we can attract our fair share
of students who want to discover the details of
physics. Physics is somewhat unique however in that
it does not have the outflow of awareness beyond
the classroom that other topics, such as music,
history, literature, and physical education have.
We believe our best disciples are our students.
We expect to establish methods to facilitate the
physics student in taking the physics concepts outside
the classroom to their peers and into the community.
What
we propose is to establish a multimedia presentation
framework that will allow the student teams to document
their learning in a lively computer slide presentation.
This presentation would then be shown continuously
on monitrs in the hallways of the high school.
