Physics and International Mindedness



Getting Physics across National Borders:  
Thinking locally and acting globally using local examples and extending to International examples broaden students reasoning in Physics.  In one of my lessons, I used ancient philosophers such Aristotle, Archimedes, Galileo, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein to show how knowledge and certain concepts about motion evolved over time, each person improving on another one’s idea. These philosophers are of different origins and different countries to show that if we think locally and act internationally, we will have a better understanding to knowledge and creativity.
