Historical Scientific Instruments in Contemporary Education

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When science's "black boxes" are pried open, its workings become accessible. Like time-travellers into history but grounded in today's cultures, learners interact directly with authentic instruments and replicas. Chapters describe educational experiences sparked through collaborations interrelating museum, school and university.
