This article describes the use of project-based instruction in activities and labs intended to develop higher-order thinking skills with high school students and pre-service teachers through the use of soap making.

A key question in physics education is the effectiveness of the teaching methods. A curriculum that has been investigated at the University of Central Florida (UCF) over the last two years is the use of particular elements of The Physics Suite. Select sections of the introductory physics classes at UCF have made use of Interactive Lecture…

A model for engaging undergraduates in cutting-edge experimental nuclear physics research at a national user facility is discussed. Methods to involve students and examples of their success are presented. (Contains 2 figures and 3 tables.)

The authors' experiments with long-distance arts collaboration in a multiform environment began in July 2002. They consider a multiform environment to be an interactive environment where different audiences experience a shared event from different and mutually exclusive frames of reference. The Dynamic Media Project team members had extensive…

This basic aim of this paper is to explore and describe how the results of experimentation are transmitted from the "laboratory" campus to other campuses and to propose ways of improving and expanding the dissemination process. Chapters cover: (1) New College as a model, (2) "new" elements in New College's program, (3) the…
