REFLECTIONS & COMMENTS
Author Reflections
Any physics unit and assessment could go here, and we are developing physics labs to be the foundation for the physics unit. Using only these things, students that didn't memorize, did not have many opportunities to SEE physics happen, which is the best way to learn physics! Students relied heavily on their physics books, simple machines project, What is Like A Machine?, and whole class activities/instruction around Metaphor Creation, for their understanding of physics. This could be greatly improved.
