Mission: Foster small group active learning environment in which students explore and discover the laws of physics in a state of the art laboratory. Students develop connections that link fundamental concepts in physics with phenomena covered in their biology, chemistry, and Earth science classes. Provide out-of-classroom experiences in space science and teacher training through WOU?s membership in the NASA/Oregon Space Grant Consortium.
Learning Outcomes:
- 1. Apply reasoning and problem solving skills to scientific investigations.
- 2. Combine graphical and numeric information to produce mathematical models.
- 3. Proficiently instruct high school level students in physics theory and applications.
