The phenomenon-based learning (PBL) approach introduced by the authors is as educational as the experiments are attention-grabbing. Instead of putting the theory before the application, PBL encourages students to first experience how the gadgets work and then grow curious enough to find out why. Students engage in the activities not as a task to be completed but as exploration and discovery.

Dr. Matt Bobrowsky is now at Delaware State University, engaged in a number of exhilarating activities in science education, public outreach, and program management. Experience at the University of Maryland -- teaching, research, public outreach activities, and serving as Director of the Physics Lecture-Demonstration Facility, a collection of 1,600 science demonstrations. Served in the Office of Public Outreach at the (Hubble) Space Telescope Science Institute, and prior to that, at the Challenger Center for Space Science Education -- places where Matt developed science curriculum materials, presented workshops to teachers, and led teams of scientists and educators in educational programs across the U.S. Matt has received multiple teaching awards. (See, for example, http: //tinyurl.com/2001RegentsAward ) At UMUC, Matt was a pioneer in online education, authoring online content as UMUC became the the first university in the U.S. to offer online degree programs. Educational presentations on the process of science, misconceptions in science, effective science teaching, science vs. pseudoscience, the Physics IQ Test, and a number of entertaining and educational astronomy presentations. Author of Phenomenon-Based Learning Books. (See link below.) Also see his Process of Science publication. http: //bit.ly/explainscience In his research, Matt has made astronomical observations with many telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope. His specialty is the study of planetary nebulae -- clouds of gas expanding outward from aging stars. (See one planetary nebula that he discovered here: http: //apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap011006.html ) Specialties: project management, physics, astronomy, the process of science, best practices in education, public speaking, and public outre
