Activity Title: The PEP Cover- Geometrika, Physica, Energia
Learning Target: To ask three questions as a guide in Physics learning and solving.
It might be helpful to be guided by easy-to-remember keywords when faced with a physics problem, weather a classroom type or research problem. The PEP cover shows a hexagonal arrangement common in physics and bio chemistry to symbolize geometry (Geometrika). The ball and arrow symbolizes matter in motion (Physika). The radiating gradient inside the hexagon symbolizes energy (Energia).
Geometrika – what is the geometry of the problem?
(Position, dimensions, scale and size, etc.)
Physika – what are the material properties of the system?
(Solid, Liquid, or Gas; rigid or deformable, charged or not, single or many parts, etc.)
Energia – what are interactions between the system and its environment?
(internal and external forces on the system, etc.)
Activity #2
Activity Title: Rules for Strategic Learning
Learning Target: To do strategic learning of physics under the learning as one nation project. Rules | Pedagogical Basis | The facilitations shall give the students one learning activity at a time. | Learning by small chucks enhances absorptions. | Every student shall copy by hand all park of the given activity starting from the title up to the exercise. | Usually psychomotor combination enhances memory retention. | Do the activity before watching the lecture demo on DVD. | Learning of new material initially without guide enhances analytical thinking and focuses inquiry. | All solutions must be written step by step as neatly as possible including numerical computations no calculators will be allowed for use during activity time. | Computation by hand enhances mental ability and speed-important in talking international and local university entrance exams. Reviewing for correctness is also facilitated. | All units or dimensions (such as m.s m/s kg and so on) must be retained in all parts of
