Abstract

We developed a two-day physics class that uses a nearby forest as a teaching location. Using low-cost material, students design and carry out physics projects outside of the usual controlled environment that is a classroom. In this way, they come to realize that physics can be used to understand the real world. They organize and present their results in an original format, an exhibit they collectively build. This project is an introduction to the role physics can play in exploring environmental issues, incorporating a sensitive and positive aspect which is important in this time of environmental crisis.

在树林里教物理

我们在附近的森林里开设了一个为期两天的物理课。使用低成本的材料，学生们在通常的受控环境——教室之外设计和开展物理项目。通过这种方式，他们开始意识到物理学可以用来理解现实世界。他们以一种原始的形式组织和展示他们的成果，这是他们共同建立的一个展览。这个项目介绍了物理学在探索环境问题中可以发挥的作用，在这个环境危机的时代，它结合了一个敏感和积极的方面。

期刊介绍： The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
