Spaced Out

Description

The following tracks were provided by WOUB Center for Public Media for Ohio on iTunes U. "Spaced Out: A Cosmic Scene" examines physics and astronomy for grades 8 through 10 and consists of eight student videos. Each track is designed to stimulate higher order thinking skills, innate curiosity, and inquiry based learning, and to entice and motivate students to peruse the topics independently and with instructor guidance. The teacher videos provide insights and researched-based methods for effectively teaching the identified concepts. Extended learning opportunities and helpful online resources greatly enhance the teacher self-study videos. In addition, a wide variety of practical assessment tools will help teacher's measure student comprehension concepts. All of this additional material can be found at the free "Spaced Out" online resource page, www.woub.org/spacedout. This project was supported with funding from eTech Ohio advancing education and accelerating learning for all Ohioans through the use of technology.
