Provides perspective for thinking about the future through the study of historical physical science and historically significant experiments. Designed to build awareness of the unexpected through both observation of the sky and lab activities that focus on
light, electricity, and motion. Labs are complemented by museum and site visits; readings include accounts by Galileo, Archimedes, and other historical observers. Individual and team assignments provide opportunities to develop skills in observation, exploration,
and evaluation. You can also choose to participate in research that will improve science education. Students must keep an observing notebook and write a reflective paper; students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments.<o:p></o:p></div>
