Sustainable support for education-science-physics
Our Mission in Education, Science, PhysicsPhysics 24/7 has a long-term commitment to science education with a focus on strengthening the preparation of physics students, especially those heading toward science, engineering and technology careers. Secondly, Physics 24/7 supports secondary science teachers who struggle from time to time with the education-science-physics connection.
Immediacy and Interaction are Essential
Internet based resources and tools have transformed education by expanding the world that can be
experienced and learned. Immediacy and interaction are essential for student success. The internet is evolving to find new ways to engage students in interactions and explorations that seize the teachable moment. This is the promise of technology: it will allow students to learn more physics, more deeply, in the way and at the time the student chooses. New avenues of teaching and learning about physics reflect how science itself is done, emphasizing expressing, sharing and communicating understanding about the world. Improvements in technology are the catalyst for change in what students are taught, in assessment techniques, in teacher training, and in the scope and depth of relationships among schools, the community, scientists and engineers. Acquiring scientific knowledge, is being replaced with how to acquire understanding, and an appreciation of the impact of education-science-physics on our society.
Education, Science, Physics and Society
Learning physics strengthens the skills that people use on a daily basis. Creative problem solving, working in teams, using technology, and life-long learning underlie the economic productivity of our society. Students deserve the opportunity to prepare themselves for this economy. Physics 24/7 aims to provide support to students who commit to themselves and their future.
