Teaching Physics for Agronomy Students: Contextualizing Laboratory Classes (original) (raw)

2008

Abstract

In this paper we discuss a method of teaching physics to agronomy majors. We use laboratory classes to apply basic physics concepts to common situations in agronomy. As an example, we report a project developed by the students involving the construction of a device, frequently used on farms, to transport water without burning fuel or using electricity. We believe that contextualizing helps to improve physics classes and increase students' motivation.
