Physics Lesson

 Goal:
    To inform the class about this area of physics.
    To obtain expertise in an area of physics.

1- Make a lesson on the assigned topic. Use the text book to get started. Research your topic. You will become the expert.

2- Lesson length - 15 to 30 minutes.

3- Present the lesson.

5- Use at least one visual aid - overhead, poster, chalkboard. No prerecorded material may be used without the consent of the instructor.

6- Provide follow-up materials to the lesson so that ideas learned in the lesson can be reinforced - (worksheet, experiment, learning game, student involved demonstration, etc.). Get the students involved in some way.

NOTE:This time is not considered a part of the lesson length.
