Watch for NTEN and the Winter Olympics!
The enormous appeal of the Winter Games means that these events are a teachable moment for showing how science illuminates human activity. Short-course modules will develop understanding of core concepts selected from the following areas.
- Physiology
- Physics
- Biomechanics
- Nutrition
- Psychology
The science questions will be addressed through their application to particular events of the Winter Olympics. The instructional modules will be short, (1-3 weeks) learning experiences, developed and led by research-level faculty and offered free of charge to science teachers nationwide. They will use data, graphics, simulations and software, integrated into standard WorldWideWeb pages and accessible from the NTEN Web site. Registration for the Winter Games will be available from the NTEN web site.
