Giving Meaning to the Numbers
Marshall, Jeff; Horton, Bob; Austin-Wade, Joyce
Science Teacher, v74 n2 p36-41 Feb 2007
When learning, students yearn for meaning, challenge, and relevance. Integrated learning fulfills these desires by limiting the compartmentalization of learning--providing a more coherent learning environment. Too often, mathematics and the physical sciences are taught as separate entities. Yet, many commonalities exist, especially between chemistry and Algebra II and between physics and precalculus (including trigonometry). This article discusses an integrated math/science course that specifically relates physics and precalculus concepts and details three specific examples of the integrated curriculum. (Contains 3 figures.)
