Summer 2025: Waves Throughout Physics
This one-week in-person class/workshop will cover content relevant for high school physics instruction regarding wave motion. Participating teachers will use hands-on devices they can use with their own students. Traditional topics like mechanical waves will be complemented with related topics in acoustics, electromagnetism, fluids, electronics, etc. based on the interests of the participants. Applications of calculus in these areas can be covered as participant interest warrants. Connections to the Next Generation Science Standards will be made.
The class can be taken for 2 graduate credits or for continuing education.
