I thoroughly enjoyed our outdoor experience in class yesterday. I liked both the drawing and physical activities with the sun. I think the outdoor class setting possesses unique attributes that can’t be found in any indoor classrooms. The outdoor classroom facilitated conversation between people. In a classroom you are usually stuck next to a few people who you can interact with, whereas outdoors we were able to walk around and interact with different groups while being able to speak and listen at a reasonable volume. In high school, going outside in physics usually meant a fun demo, which I will definitely repeat with my students. Additionally, after yesterday’s drawing experience I am beginning to think about more activities (other than demos) that can be conducted outside that involve physics content.
