They were given a piece of paper to illustrate this. As Emily and I went around the classroom I realized that many of the students needed an additional push to keep thinking or expand on what they already had. I asked questions such as: what made… text/html 2012-10-01T15:19:05-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/coursewikis/ph111/doku.php?id=days:fall2012daybyday:fall2012day1:start&rev=1349129945 Daily Schedule Exploring Physics Learning in the Context of Light Documenting Initial Ideas with Diagnostic Question Exploring Light and Shadow Phenomena Reflections Peer Instructor Exploring Physics Learning in the context of Light To start off the course I asked students to think about a time in their life when they had enjoyed learning something about light, whether it be inside or out of the typical classroom.
