Description
** This activity is 2 points total with a required reflection. Topic What are authentic scientific practices? Why should we bother engaging students in scientific practices when we can just tell them what they need to know? How do we engage our students in authentic scientific practices in an online setting? In this SI Happy Hour, we will explore answers to these questions in the context of physics. Participants will engage in a quick scientific investigation followed by a more formal discussion of the practices of physics and why having our students learn to think and reason like scientists is critically important for the 21st century workplace and the future of humanity. Participants should install the phyphox app to their phones.
