This course focuses on three elements: content knowledge, inquiry and other teaching strategies, and use of multimedia and visualization tools in teaching and learning about motion and forces. Motion and Forces in Your World helps learners look at examples of motion in the world around them and come to a basic understanding of how and why things move. Through the readings, videos, discussions, assignments, and other interactive experiences, learners in this course will have multiple opportunities to develop content knowledge about motion and force and teaching strategies that focus on how to build upon prior knowledge. Learners will experience a rich multimedia, inquiry-based learning environment as their students ideally would in their own classrooms. The course provides effective teaching methodologies, strategies and tools that can be used when teaching physical science concepts.
