<span>Students develop perspective for thinking about the future by studying historical physical science and recreating these experiments through their own curiosity and questions. The seminar 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. Students learn by analyzing historical works of Galileo, Archimedes,
and others, and extending these observers’ practices to their own thinking.<span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Lab sessions complemented by museum and site visits. Students keep an observing notebook and write a reflective paper on their
experience. The seminar’s exploratory and collaborative pedagogy equips students to teach and conduct research in science, history and other areas. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">
<span>The fall 2014 seminar theme involves experiencing and observing space, balance, motions and the moon through responding to each other and historical examples ranging from ancients to amateurs to early explorations in flight and beyond.<span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Class
explorations involve our surroundings, sky observing, instruments devised by us and others, and our evolving curiosities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
