String's The Thing Viewing Ideas
Welcome to the 11th Dimension Viewing Ideas
Before Watching
-
Organize students into four groups. Assign each group one of the
following concepts to research: 1)
four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, strong
force, weak force),
2) quantum mechanics, 3) unified theory, and 4)
string theory. (See
Resources.) Have each group create a poster explaining the concept and
present its work to the class. Post each group's work for later
reference. As they watch, have students take notes on their
assigned topics.
-
Discuss the concept of gravity. Ask students to describe how
they experience the force directly. Ask them how gravity affects
objects beyond Earth.
After Watching
-
Review students' notes from the program. Have students update
their posters with the new information they have learned. When
and how was each force discovered? What additional questions do
students have about each of the forces?
