| Proposal Title: | Teaching Physics in a Space Science Context |
|---|---|
| Abstract Type: | Workshop |
| Abstract: | Join this hands-on session to engage in and learn about new research-based space science teaching resources produced by physics education researchers through the NASA Heliophysics Education Activation Team (HEAT). Appropriate for introductory physics and astronomy courses, these resources include a collection of hands-on activities, lecture tutorials, concept tests, and diagnostic tools that strategically address topics that integrate Physics and Space Science, including (but not limited to) (1) coronal mass ejection videos to understand both simple mechanics as well as accelerations of relativistic particles, (2) sunspot data to understand period and frequency, (3) eclipses to understand geometric optics, and (4) smartphone magnetic field sensors to understand planetary magnetism. Participants will work through one full activity. |
