Rating
0.0 stars

Students learn about the basic properties of light and how light interacts with objects. They are introduced to the additive and subtractive color systems, and the phenomena of refraction. Students further explore the differences between the additive and subtractive color systems via predictions, observations and analysis during three demonstrations. These topics help students gain a better understanding of how light is connected to color, bringing them closer to answering an overarching engineering challenge question.

Learners use two mirrors to explore how images of images of images can repeat forever. This resource includes a light-ray diagram to help learners understand what they are seeing -- images appear to be grouped in pairs with a front side always facing a front side and a back side always facing a back side. Learners can assist in assembling the Infinity Mirror or use one that has been pre-assembled.

Make That Invisible! Refractive Index Matching
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students determine the refractive index of a liquid with a simple technique using a semi-circular hollow block. Then they predict the refractive index of a material (a Pyrex glass tube) by matching it with the known refractive index of a liquid using the percent light transmission measurement. The homemade light intensity detector uses an LED and multimeter, which are relatively inexpensive (and readily available) compared to commercially available measurement instruments.

Mastery learning implementation checklist
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

Implementation checklists are a list of practical steps you can take to support the implementation of an evidence-based practice in your setting.

This checklist focuses on implementing mastery learning.

Have I...
*developed, or drawn on an existing learning progression in line with my curriculum document/syllabus?
* used my formative assessment or existing data to identify a way to determine where my students are currently at in their learning and the correct level of challenge for them?
* broken the learning objectives down into what students should know, understand or be able to do by the end of the [lesson/week/unit]?
* established the success criteria for each of my learning objectives? (See explicit instruction for more detail on setting learning objectives)
* sequenced tasks so that it is clear to my students how their skills and level of mastery build as they go through them?
* used formative assessment to gather data about which of my students are ready to progress and which need additional practice to master the content?
* planned some revision and enrichment activities to cater to my students who need the additional practice or extension?
* planned opportunities for my students to review the learning over time?
* reflected on what my formative assessment has told me about how students are mastering the tasks so that success criteria and learning objectives can be revised over time?

Physics III: Vibrations and Waves
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Vibrations and waves are everywhere. If you take any system and disturb it from a stable equilibrium, the resultant motion will be waves and vibrations. Think of a guitar string—pluck the string, and it vibrates. The sound waves generated make their way to our ears, and we hear the string’s sound. Our eyes see what’s happening because they receive the electromagnetic waves of the light reflected from the guitar string, so that we can recognize the beautiful sinusoidal waves on the string. In fact, without vibrations and waves, we could not recognize the universe around us at all!

The amazing thing is that we can describe many fascinating phenomena arising from very different physical systems with mathematics. This course will provide you with the concepts and mathematical tools necessary to understand and explain a broad range of vibrations and waves. You will learn that waves come from many interconnected (coupled) objects when they are vibrating together. We will discuss many of these phenomena, along with related topics, including mechanical vibrations and waves, sound waves, electromagnetic waves, optics, and gravitational waves.

Practical Leadership
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Practical Leadership is an interactive seminar where students receive repeated coaching and real-time feedback on their own leadership capabilities from their peers and the instructor. The course is structured around a set of readings. However, the key component is each student's own self-assessment. These self-assessments are done by the students in the first week of the semester. The areas for improvement that the students identify are then targeted in the weekly role plays that are customized for each student in the class. The goal of the class is for each student to increase his or her own leadership abilities through an ongoing cycle of practice, feedback and reflection.

Production of Educational Videos is an introduction to technical communication that is situated in the production of educational videos; the assignments are all focused on the production of videos that teach some aspect of MIT's first-year core curriculum. The objective of these assignments is improvement in both communication ability and communication habits; these improvements are effected by providing participants with instruction, practice, feedback, and the opportunity for reflection. In addition to improvements in communication skills, improvement is expected in students' attitude towards writing, oral presentations, and collaboration; as the semester progresses, students should feel confident of their ability to write, present, and collaborate.
