Physics by Inquiry
Goal:
- Provide students with direct experience in the process of science.
Assumptions:
- Listening, memorizing, and problem solving are not the best approaches to learn science.
- Learning science requires active mental engagement.
Although current science courses for science majors have labs associated with the courses, the active engagement of the students is still rather limited.
Physics by Inquiry enhances the active engagement by teaching the entire course in the lab environment.
