Editor's Notes
- I’m one of you. I’m a high school teacher , I teach Math and Phisycs to students from 16 to 19
- GTL is an international project of MISTI (MIT Intenational Science and Teacher Initiatives) that matchs MIT students with foreign schools and teachers for three week in January. My school applied/joined to this project and my Principal asked me to be the tutor.
- At the end of the project MIT
- This is an important picture for me: I remember when Ed showed me that magnetic ball falling in an alluminum pipe; I saw the change in speed: it slowed down/decelerated, than it goes with costant speed, and at the end speed up/accelerate again. I cryed when I saw that: it was the first time I was seeing something like that. But when Ed ask to people in front of him :”Why?”, I saw in my mind the page of a lot textbooks with the formula , and I answered: “It’s the Faraday-Nuemann’s law!!!”. I don’t want my students to say that real world is a formula…
- The physical material and manual labor associated with science were both crucial to public understanding of the field and
