CONCLUSION
▰The Harvard Project Physics curriculum is a masterpiece. Although this
was created in the 1960's and mainly in use during the 1970’s.
▰The adaptability of the materials would allow teachers incorporate new
teaching idea while still using the framework of Project Physics.
▰With a great deal of hands on activities and a focus on literacy, the
curriculum would meet the goals set forth by most school districts today.
▰HPP is a course that altered how all future science curriculums would be
developed.
Project work, Field trips, Laboratory work, Journal writing, concept mapping,...DeepanshuYadav2
The key focus and desired outcomes for Project Work are:
1. Communication
2. Students can express their ideas clearly and effectively, both verbally and in written form.
3. Collaboration
4. Students can work as a team to achieve common goals.
5. Knowledge application
6. Students are able to make links across different areas of knowledge and to generate, develop and evaluate ideas and information related to the project.
7. Independent learning
8. Students are able to learn on their own, reflect on their learning and improve upon it.
However, if you are unable to attend the makeup class or if there is no available slots in other classes, then, there will strictly be no refund of fees. S
All the JC Physics classes are taught personally by me to ensure a high quality of delivery. My former students have moved on and continued to excel academically at top local and overseas universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Conhecer São Paulo. Segundo os dados mais recente da Fundação
Seade, o estado completou recentemente o número de
43 milhões de habitantes, e será que todas essas pessoas conhecem
verdadeiramente a cidade? Segundo dados Datafolha,
os paulistas foram considerados os mais egoístas de todo
o Brasil, e não é por menos, vivemos em uma cidade linda,
com muitas histórias e com muitos entretenimentos, além de
possuirmos uma das paisagens mais belas no quesito cidade
de Pedra, e simplesmente não a conhecemos mais a fundo
em suas histórias e fatos ocorridos em anos atrás. Nós mesmos
nos limitamos a conhecer aquilo que está mais próximo
e mais fácil de ser vivido, e sempre colocamos a culpa na
pressa ou no trânsito, que sempre nos faz chegar atrasado ao
nosso destino. Mal conhecemos a cidade e mesmo assim falamos
dela como se conhecêssemos feito a palma de nossa
mão, mal conhecemos a cidade, e mesmo assim a amamos
apesar de ser tão caótica e tão congestionada, não abandonamos
para viver em um outro local.
Viver em São Paulo, é ser acostumado com o trânsito, amar
pizza e degustar um belo pão francês, amar carnaval ou ás
vezes nem isso; misturar o rock com pop, ou até mesmo curtir
um hip-hop com os amigos. Ser paulista, é ter á vida corrida,
não ter tempo para nada, reclamar à toa e mesmo assim
viver cantando.
Revista Vision é para você que ama sua cidade, que é paulista
ou paulistano, que tem sede de conhecer a cidade.
Revista Vision, sua visão de São Paulo.
