Book Description
Do you see physics as a fear-inspiring monster? Turn it into a humorous, mustachioed man in glasses with The Restaurant at the Beginning of the Universe.
The book is organized around a set of simple observational activities that stimulate student questioning. The activities encourage students to generate answers to stimulate his or her creativity. Through these observational activities, a process develops by which the students will observe, become part of the observation, formulate explanations, develop a language to discuss the ideas, formulate explanations against additional experiments, and encourage active discussions, all of which become the heart of critical analysis.
With chapters engagingly titled after sections of a menu-Appetizer, House Specialty, Side Order, Buffet, Late Night Snack, Tasty Nibble, and Dessert-The Restaurant at the Beginning of the Universe is full of activities for the home or classroom.
