Lynn believes that to study physics and the laws of motion that in order to best demonstrate these concepts, his students should see and experience how these laws are applied. Through hands-on learning, the students can not only see these laws in action, but they can also feel them, too. This lesson is great for kinesthetic learners!
I love how Lynn integrated writing into this assignment. He had his students stop to think how those laws functioned and then asked them to transfer that knowledge into the written word. Some students used diagrams to help illustrate the laws of motion with the given props.
I thought this was an excellent demonstration, and it could perhaps be modified for students with disabilities if there was some way to use sound to help mark the distance of the swing.
I agree! I like the kinesthetics! Great demo!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is great that the students can not only hear about a lesson, but they can also see its application in the swinging of the golf clubs. Great Lesson!!!
