    In Computer-related technology use in the high school physics classroom: A case study, the study was done with a focus on qualitative data, but the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) was administered to students and analyzed to add a quantitative component to the study (McClure, 1996). The copy of the Force Concept Inventory in the study shows that it focuses on material from the first half of a physics curriculum, such as Newton’s laws, kinematics, and uniform circular motion. The study Assessing the

    Radiation Health Physics graduate program of study at OSU. I have been a high school Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering teacher for nearly the past 10 years. My personal experiences in education have helped shape my vision and practices at a small, rural school district in Western Pennsylvania. It has been this experience that has given me the confidence to believe I am far more capable than I had thought I was only 10 years earlier. I am ready to apply my knowledge of Physics, Electronics, Computer

    and Physics in particular has always been apart of my life. This could have been the result of both my parents being Physics teachers, and my first encounter with Physics is through them when they began to incorporate fundamental Physics concepts like forces at work throughout my childhood. My parents had introduced me to Physics, but I think it is mostly the subject itself that has greatly influenced me to go further and made me decide to pursue a degree in Physics. It is through Physics where

    to science. Physicists are the ones who study the structure of matter, space and time. An example of a physicist would be Einstein or Newton. This paper will discuss the education necessary to become a physicist, the skills that physicists need, the earnings and the benefits/risks of the job, and my qualifications. The education of a physicist start can start at any age, though it focuses primarily in high school and up. All that one needs is creativity and curiosity to be devoted to their pathway

    Statement by MIPT Alumnus (01/2000) The Physics Student, admitted to Rutgers, Boston University, PennState Being born in a family of physicists I was fond of science from my childhood. Even when I was a little girl, my favorite toys have all been mechanical. Their inside was always a tempting mystery for me. Later on, the questions I asked myself have progressed to more sophisticated ones, usually dealing with nature phenomena around me - like why the sky is blue, how clouds or rainbow form, what

    discrepancies exist between how osmosis is taught and understood between physics and chemistry or biology [1]. Moreover, since the agreement of the real processes involved within the physics community back in 1951, no progress has been made with osmosis in biology and chemistry education [2]. What makes these discrepancies a topic of discussion is not that they exist, but rather, that they exist and are prevalent in education. In fact, these discrepancies are speculated to be harmful to the understanding
