This discussion is encouraging to me - I covered less this year than I ever have: Mechanics; a little each of: electricity, magnetism, and nuclear physics; and considerable time on projects. I spent more time than ever on classroom management (trying to keep order, writing referrals), and the school seemed to pull out the students for field trips and special activities more than previous years. I hope to spend the summer revising my curriculum to be modeled after the PRISMS approach, or similar programs - they introduce everything through a learning cycle: an exploratory stage, then a concept development stage, and finally an application stage. It has been demonstrated that this 3 stage approach does enhance the possibility that the students will reach the formal reasoning level. Has anyone else used the PRISMS ideas? Is there a program that has superceded PRISMS? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ T.
