dachapman Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hello, I'm considering this course for a co-op of middle schoolers. https://www.coursera.org/course/howthingswork1 Does anyone have any feedback on this course? Is it engaging? Would it work for middle schoolers? I would like to run the classroom "flipped" - meaning the students watch the videos at home, and we get together and discuss and do labs. Suggestions? Also, can anyone recommend any resources (labs, quizzes, test, homework) to use with this course? Thanks! Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 If it's the same as previously, the coursera course only covers the first two chapters of the book. I thought the videos were quite engaging when we watched it, but we didn't do any of the other work with it at the time, as she was a very young middle schooler at the time (and not very keen on science, honestly, particularly physics). Here are some resources to go with it (I haven't checked them out yet, just noted them for future reference). It includes old exams (midterms and finals) and solutions for the full course. http://rabi.phys.virginia.edu/1050/2013/home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
