Abstract:
|
We are teaching in a time when high school science courses are required to pack in more and more content. While this may serve to advance knowledge in the sciences, it makes it more difficult to engage students in dialogue about the moral implications of applying the knowledge. Physics courses provide an excellent opportunity for dialogue and reflection and teachers should be aware of the opportunities and ready to engage students. This poster identifies areas across the physics topics that make good entry points for dialogue and provides question frames for engaging students.
