PPT1 2005Course Syllabus
2005 Summer Workshop (PPT I) (“Newton group”)
July 11 -July 15, 2005, 8:00-3:30
July 16, 2004, 8:00-12:00
Watanabe 415
Goals:
- Educate out-of-field high school physics teachers about physics
- Test PPT curriculum
Objectives: TBD
Daily:
- Review previous day & turn in homework (activity feedback forms)
- Lunch (30 mins)
- Write reflections in journals (no more than 5 minutes after each activity). Those doing a portfolio need to include their journals in their portfolios. Those not doing a portfolio need to turn in their journals at the end of the workshop.
- Homework: Activity Feedback Forms for each activity completed that day.
Always need to bring:
- Attendance sheet
- Snacks
Schedule (* Materials teachers take home)Act = activity; Demo = demonstration; Disc = discussion
