Title: Lab Practicums as a means of assessment and review.
Description: The lab practicum begins with the teacher posing a problem to the whole class and providing the equipment associated with the problem. Students then work in small groups to solve the problem and test their results. The lab practicum serves as an excellent deployment activity for the application and reinforcement of models and conceptual tools developed during the modeling cycle. In this hands on workshop you will have the opportunity to attempt several of the lab practicums I use in my Honors and Advanced Physics classes, as well as sharing your ideas for new practicums.
