Explore and learn about the basic scientific principles that govern our world. We will explore gravity through the pendulum, energy transfer from freezing solids, heat from electricity, and the principles of basic electric circuits. All in a hands-on real world learning environment.
Although the class is designed for students in the fourth to eighth grade, it is open to adults looking to refresh their understanding of several aspects of the natural sciences. The program will introduce scientific methods by giving participants the opportunity to learn basic engineering techniques with hands-on experimentation using simple equipment and guided measurements. The instruction will take place in the Classrooms of The Art Center of Tonkawa.
Four Introductory Classes are planned: The Pendulum – Gravity and Galileo’s Discovery; Stored Energy – The Electrical Equivalent of Heat; Phase Transitions – The Energy of Structure; and Ohm’s Law – Basic Electric Circuits.
Students will work alone or in small teams depending on the availability of experimental set-ups and will be able to work at their own pace as they learn the concepts being presented.
Instruction will begin on Friday, March 6, and continue every Friday during the TPS Spring Semester.
