PBL: Physics
As we emerge from the pandemic, the US science faculty thought it would be worthwhile to revisit the opportunities to make our curriculum more relevant and meaningful to students by returning to a PBL-focused unit sequence in 8th grade Physics. We have created an alignment between the Physics topics and National Science Olympiad events/projects that will allow students to directly apply what they have learned theoretically to real-world projects and activities. For example, after completing the Pressure unit, students will conduct research, develop hypotheses, and use the design-thinking process to create water powered bottle rockets to launch on campus for an Olympiad-Style Bottle Rocket Competition.
