School teachers at all levels require some knowledge of physics. A particularly
large challenge is to provide appropriate experiences for those future
teachers who will be working with students in the first 6-7 years
of their schooling. We have developed an activity-based course for
these teachers. The activities involve both traditional short experiments
and technology-based ones. The course is somewhat unique because
the design allows for one faculty member to work with relatively
large number of students and yet maintain a student-centered environment.
