Physics By Inquiry

Students in a classroom setting. Caption: you'll get the voltage of the battery.

K-12 teachers attend a summer institute in physics education to learn the "guided inquiry" method of teaching physics. They learn inquiry skills by working through problems and experiments, questioning each other's rationales, and modeling the instructors' method of asking questions that "correct reasoning." The institute's purpose is not only to change the way physics is taught, but also to clarify teachers' understanding of basic physics principles.
