As an educator, I am a believer in hands-on learning, so it has been my pleasure to describe the innovative, creative and life-affirming programs in which students truly participate at Warren Wilson College, just outside of Asheville, NC. Representative of this involvement is the Physics Photo of the Week from Warren Wilson’s Physics Department
.
Attitude- Hands-on Activities: Professor Donald F. Collins, PhD reports, “ All physics and related courses make extensive use of hands-on activities - laboratories which enhance the learning through concepts.” Proof-positive: WOW! See this week’s student photo(s) – a series of telescopic images of Asteroid 2005 YU55 that , last week, “zipped past the Earth at about 3/4 the distance to the Moon….”
Here’s the link (also will take you to archives!)
“These photos feature interesting phenomena in the world around us. Students, faculty, and others are invited to submit digital (or film) photographs for publication and explanation. Atmospheric phenomena are especially welcome.” SO…YOU are invited to send YOUR photos ? How cool is that?
