** Vocabulary Physics and Chemistry ** Any science course has vocabulary that gets on students nerves. Mostly because the students don’t only have to be introduced to them in the chapter, they have to understand the concept around it as soon as they have discovered the words. For example, in the AP Physics class, the students are working on electric fields. One of the words that seem to be the biggest issue is flux. Because the word flux means the strength of a field in a particular area, the words get confused with force. My CT understands that his students are having difficulty in that area so he makes sure to define particular words over and over as he goes through the slides. He then asks his students to define those words as he completes his presentations. By the end of the presentations, the students can explain the vocabulary words in their own way and be able to apply them to their in class assignments and homework. With the science classes that involve calculations or visual demonstrations, it is easier to comprehend the vocabulary in the practical sense. For classes like biology and some parts of astronomy, it seems to be mostly requesting students to memorize lists of words. I would have to see how biology classes atAikenHigh Schoolhandle their vocabulary.
