CLASS DESCRIPTION
Did you know that the universe (probably) has eleven dimensions? Was there a beginning to the universe? If energy cannot be created or destroyed, then where does your body’s energy come from?
Why do we think it's hard to learn math and science? What do we think we know that isn’t true? How can we find out where we’re mistaken, and learn what’s really true?
Did you know a discus does not take a circular path? What sort of path does it take, and why?
In this class, students will have fun learning to observe natural processes, to think like scientists, and to develop problem-solving skills to use in future math and physics courses.
Prerequisites: None.
