Hubert Schoot Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hi All, In the Netherlands there is an upcoming trend to speak of sciences in stead of biology. physics and chemistry in 12-16y education. Here we have mostly biology in first year then in the second year a combination of physics and chemistry ending in a streamed choice for either biology or chemistry and physics for examination. I thought science was only a new name for old content. But now I have read a new thing, "the physics first" movement. The idea I read was on an American website for a science method. I am a Biologist and I think it is not wise to confront 12y olds with applied mathematics what physics in fact is. If you want to discourage a broad group with learning science you should do it this way. Who is known with this physics first movement and can explain it to me?
