Teaching Physics in the Woods

Frédéric Bouquet, Julien Bobroff, Lou-Andreas Etienne +1

We developed a two-day physics class that uses a nearby forest as a teaching location. Using low-cost material, students design and carry out physics projects outside of the usual…

A project-based course about outreach in a physics curriculum

Julien Bobroff, Frédéric Bouquet

We describe an undergraduate course where physics students are asked to conceive an outreach project of their own. The course alternates between the project conception and teaching…
