Beschreibung

Paperback. Children learn best through experiencing a phenomenon before trying to understand it theoretically. This approach underpins this valuable resource book for teachers of physics to 13-14 year olds.Covering the basic principles of mechanics, acoustics, optics, heat, electricity and magnetism, von Mackensen ensures that all lessons and experiments are age-appropriate, and focus on developing an interest in and familiarity with the phenomena being described.Written specifically for class teachers in Waldorf schools, but accessible to any teacher who wants to bring a more phenomenon-based methodology to their classroom, the book starts by introducing the fields of physics appropriate to the age group, followed by a discussion of the main topics and detailed descriptions of simple experiments.This book is recently revised and reformatted in a handy workbook size for ease of teacher reference in preparing main lesson presentations and experiments, and is illustrated throughout. A valuable resource book for teaching physics for Waldorf teachers of Class 7. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Here is a physics book designed to stimulate teaching that engages students in phenomena in the world of mechanics, light, and heat. As Waldorf educators know, especially at the age of middle school, real experiences of phenomena bring them to an understanding of science. The unique approach of experience first, conclusions after observation and experience of phenomena.
