Physics Workshop for the Middle School

在接下来的两个学年里，将为20名中学教师提供一系列的研讨会，每学期一次。课程主题包括声学、光学、电学和牛顿定律。参加者将获发一套实验仪器及一份手册，详细介绍该仪器可进行的一系列实验。研讨会的重点是通过实验来研究物理，使用预测、实验和观察的技术，讨论和概念形成，并为教师在课堂上使用的这些教学技术建模。后续活动将包括一个物理示范项目，由研讨会主任和参与的老师为学校的学生合作进行。成本分担为31%。

A series of workshops for 20 middle schools teachers each will be offered, one per semester over the next 2 academic years. The topics covered will be Acoustics, Optics, Electricity and Newton's Laws. Participants will be given a collection of experimental apparatus together with a manual with a detailed discussion of the series of experiments that can be performed with the apparatus. Emphasis in the workshop will be on the study of physics through experimentation using the techniques of prediction, experimentation and observation discussion and concept formation and modelling these teaching techniques which teachers can use in their classrooms. Follow up activities will include a physics demonstration program to be given co-operatively by the workshop director and the participating teacher for the students in the schools. Cost sharing is 31%.
