UW-L physicists team up with local teachers

Posted:

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) -- Teachers of all grade levels are taking part in hands-on physics experiments.

With help from physicists from University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, those teachers are constructing mini wind turbines and roller coasters.

The exercises give the teachers new ideas about how to teach young students about mechanical energy.

The two-day workshop is meant to prepare area teachers to meet new science standards.

The workshop is funded through a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

The grant will fund future workshops as well.
