世界構建的科學

Welcome to the Science of Worldbuilding! This class stems from one simple idea: it's one thing to learn physics and other science concepts about the world we already live in. But what if you had to create a world...how would you build it? Every week will be 2 90 lectures: one overview lecture where I teach on the topics we'll be exploring that week, and one guided work period where I ask students questions to help them build a part of their worlds, based on the topic overview for that week. There are 7 units, with the 8th week being set aside for presentations, which will be graded on a detailed rubric from 1-3 across a variety of criteria; the rubric will be available for download at any time. This class is aligned with the NGSS standards, and I am a certificated high school physics teacher. With those bonafides stated, I look forward to the conversational and idea-driven nature of this class. I am a conversational teacher by nature, and I am so excited to be able to teach a "fun" lens for physics on Outschool. This class is 100% created by me, with all lecture materials created by me or drawn from widely available sources, but I will draw heavily on both classic and modern fantasy and scifi literature for inspiration, as well as academic prior knowledge for the concept lectures. While we will meet virtually live twice a week for 90 minutes per class, I will also be available for one on ones or emails "off hours". I look forward to having your student in class!
