Six Teacher Approaches to Physics Labs

The video explores various teacher approaches to conducting physics labs, highlighting methods from Mrs. Zeller, Mr. P, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Siegel, Mrs. Mori, and Mr. Sarvelis. Each teacher shares their unique strategies, ranging from inquiry-based labs to structured 'Cookbook Labs', emphasizing student engagement, experimental design, and addressing misconceptions. The common theme is encouraging students to design their own experiments, fostering a deeper understanding of physics concepts.
