develop perspective for thinking about the future by studying and
recreating historically significant experiments. Builds awareness of
the unexpected - even in familiar settings - through observing the sky
and conducting lab activities with light, electricity, and motion.
Working alone and in teams, students hone their skills in observation,
exploration, and evaluation. They also read accounts by Galileo and
other historical observers. Lab sessions complemented by museum and
site visits. Students keep an observing notebook and write a
reflective paper on their experience. Students taking graduate version
complete additional assignments.<br>
<br>
The fall 2011 seminar theme is how we come to experience and observe
the space around us, through explorations involving our bodily
motions, instruments devised by us and others, sky observing and other
activities.</font><br>
