Scene of the Crime:
|
Three 6th and 7th grade classes, two of which are bilingual

Two lessons a week |

Physics and chemistry |
|
|
| The Accusation:
|
Tempting young children to enjoy learning physics
and chemistry |
|
|
| The Motive:
|
The desire to instill a love of natural sciences
in our students, to reduce learning barriers (and have fun
at the same time!) |
|
|
| The
Accused: |
3 courageous teachers with a love
for holistic, brain friendly learning
- Judith HAZDRA (physics teacher)
- Beatrix KOZAK (physics
teacher) and

trainer and native speaker at the Cooperative Bilingual
Middle School)

|
| The Course of Events:
|
| |
|
| It is the first day of physics for the children
in the 6th grade. The books are new. The physics laboratory
is new. The teachers are new. And, unbeknownst to the children,
the teaching techniques with which they are going to learn
physics are also new to them. |

A CD player is standing
on the desk.
Mrs. Kozak puts on a head lamp.
Mrs. Hazdra is wearing a white laboratory coat.
Classical music is playing in the background, as Mrs.
Nitsche begins to read the story of Professor Duddly,
a physics teacher, and his assistant, a robot named
Flash.Classical music is playing softly in the background
(This
is an ACTIVE CONCERT). The children
are fascinated. |
