"Dynamic Learning Using a Dynamics Sensor System" is a program that will allow the student to become the teacher. Students in the Advanced Placement Physics class at Mill Creek High School will research, develop, test and implement their own laboratory activities using a wireless dynamic sensor system and required computer software. Through research and experimentation, students will do "field tests" in small groups where they will troubleshoot their own experimental procedures. They will be challenged to think critically and creatively, will get hands-on laboratory experience, and learn to collect data digitally. The final experiments will be developed into presentations including instructional videos and a digital lab manual for use by other physics faculty. Marr hopes that the experiments produced by his students will have a trickle-down effect and can benefit other students at the school and ultimately be shared via the Internet to schools around the world. Marr lives in Hoschton.
