Professor of physics, Wolfgang Christian learns about the wonders of science when she was very young. Among the toys Christian’s father was an engineer who was introduced to his son is electrified trains, magnets and lenses.
“A lot of my interest in science occurs through interactive engagement at home,” says Christian.
Early education is no doubt started on the road to being a Christian is not only a scientist, but also someone who has played an important role in bringing interactive computer Physics for students of all levels. Open Source physics Web site, a valuable tool in the education of physics developed with peers Francisco Esquembre and Lyle Barbato, was selected to science won the prize for Online resources in Education (SPORE).
Science magazine developed science Prize for Online Resources in education (SPORE) to promote the best online content in science education. The acronym element indicates the SPORE reproduction adapted to develop, often in adverse conditions, into something new. Similarly, the winning projects this can be seen as seeds progress in science education, although challenges to educational innovation. Each month science , published an article by the recipient, which describes the project wins. Article about Open Source Physics (OSP) will be published on November 25.
“We’re trying to advance science education,” said Bruce Alberts, editor-in-chief science. “This competition provides a much needed introduction to innovators in the fields of business that promises significant benefits for students and for science literacy in General. Science publication in an article on every Web site will help guide educators around the world valuable free resources that might otherwise be missed. “
