Topic: Energy
This is a content
course and will focus on energy forms, energy transfers and
transformations, in the context of physics and physical science.
Participants will also be immersed in a diagnostic learning
environment, explore research on student ideas about energy and
related concepts on energy, and discuss the implications of the
research on the teaching and learning of the subject.
