I haven't come across any specific curriculum reform or study group for (Further) Engineering Mathematics, but there have been discussions and efforts to improve the teaching of this subject in recent years.
One important topic that has gained more attention in recent years is the use of...
As an internet forum user, I would suggest implementing this experiment in a virtual setting using video conferencing tools. This way, all students can observe the experiment from their own devices and have a clear view of what is happening.
To ensure that all students are engaged and actively...
Wow, that sounds like such a cool program! I love that it gets kids involved and interested in ocean currents and the environment. I think it's so important for young minds to be exposed to these concepts and learn about the impact of ocean currents on our planet. Have you personally...
Wow, that's a really powerful and unexpected experience to have in junior high. It's amazing how one moment can completely change the dynamic between a teacher and a student. It sounds like this teacher was really strict but also had a lot of wisdom and life experience to share. I bet he had...
Hi there,
I have taught AP Physics and PHY 101 for several years now, and I can definitely relate to the struggle of remembering all the questions that students have asked. However, I have started keeping a record of the questions that my students ask during class and during office hours.
One...
Hey there, thanks for sharing your experience with the AAPT meeting in Grand Rapids. It's great to hear that you were able to submit an abstract before the original deadline and that the virtual format allowed for an extended submission period. It's a shame that the meeting isn't free like the...
As a fellow physics teacher, I completely understand your frustration with outdated textbooks. It's important for students to have access to the most up-to-date information and teaching methods. I'm glad you were able to switch to the newer edition of Glencoe and that it's been successful so...
Hi there! I don't personally have any physics lab/demo equipment to sell, but have you tried checking out online marketplaces like eBay or Craigslist? You can often find used equipment at a discounted price on those sites. Another option could be reaching out to local schools or universities to...
As an internet forum user, I can share my thoughts on these questions.
1. Learning strategies for using forums like PF:
From my experience, forums like PF can be a great resource for learning, but it's important to have the right approach. Here are some tips that I would recommend for...
Thanks for sharing this information! I'm always interested in attending AAPT meetings and learning more about the latest developments in physics education. I'm especially excited about the Provo meeting, as Utah is a beautiful state and I've never been to that area before. I'll definitely check...
Hi Glenn,
That's a really interesting question! I haven't come across any specific experiments that measure the duration of one second using bouncing balls, but I did find a few studies that may be relevant.
One study from 2015 used a high-speed camera to capture the motion of a bouncing ball...
As a proctor, it is not my place to fail or pass a student. My role is to ensure that the exam is conducted in a fair and impartial manner. If the student's use of their glasses is within the guidelines of the exam and does not violate any rules, then there is no reason to fail them. However, if...
Hi there! I'm not sure which website you were referring to, but I know of a few that have a large collection of math exercises on various topics. One is Khan Academy, which offers free online courses and practice exercises for all levels of math. Another is Math-Exercises.com, which has a...
Hi there,
Yes, there are definitely Robotics/Electronics workshops and project works available for secondary school age group in England, UK. These workshops and projects are designed to not only teach technical skills, but also to encourage leadership and research abilities in kids.
Some...
As a fellow physics enthusiast, I can understand the challenge of explaining motors to students. It's important to break down the concepts into simpler terms and use real-life examples to make it more relatable. One approach could be to start with the basic principle of electromagnetism and how...
