Physics
I.02 Optics for 12th Grade
Florian Schulz | Saturday – Thursday, 8 – 9.30 am
From shadow to image: Image formation as an illumination process
Measuring wavelengths with simple tools: Exploring the wave model, light properties, and photons
Physiology of colour vision, colour mixing, light source spectra (LED, Incandescent), and their impact
Mathematics
III.25 Mathematics: Differential Calculus
Jessica Krause | Saturday – Wednesday, 2.45 – 4.15 pm
We will discuss how to introduce Differential Calculus in a »Waldorf way« in Grade 11 or 12.
Participants' experiences are very welcome! If you teach this subject, please bring main lesson books, tasks, and other teaching materials.
We can also discuss how to fulfill varying national exam requirements while maintaining a Waldorf pedagogical approach.
IV.32 Mathematics: Integral Calculus
Jessica Krause | Saturday – Wednesday, 4.45 – 6.15 pm
Two established pathways to introducing integral calculus will be presented: through area calculation and through reconstruction problems.
Educational standards vary widely by country. We will discuss how to meet specific curriculum requirements without compromising Waldorf pedagogy.
Participant experiences and practical examples are very welcome!
V.40 (bilingual) What’s the Idea Lying behind a Geometric Problem?
Steffen Brasch, Thomas Neukirchner | Saturday – Tuesday, 7.15 – 8.30 pm
How do we solve geometric problems? We would like to reflect on this question with you by examining geometric puzzles by Catriona Shearer.
Usually, we work with geometrical problems by switching between analysis and playful ways of solving them. Our focus is to create awareness for this process.
What constitutes a satisfactory solution? A complete proof, or an idea that may have been the basis for the problem?
V.41 Math as a Journey of Exploration
Birte Vestergaard | Saturday – Tuesday, 7.15 – 8.30 pm
Creating a classroom environment where students feel safe to fail, safe to ask questions and to share their ideas. How this safety makes it possible to turn the differences of academic levels among students into valuable teaching resources
On this basis: How can math be taught as a journey of exploration, using discovery sheets, that make the students discover mathematical laws themselves working in small groups?
How to create own discovery sheets
Computer Science
II.10 (bilingual) Information Technology: Machine Learning
Robert Neumann, Norbert Harz | Saturday – Wednesday, 11.30 – 1 pm, Thursday, 9.45 – 11 am
How are neuronal networks trained?
Emphasis will be the »cs unplugged approach«
V.39 Media and AI in the Classroom
Robert Neumann | Saturday – Tuesday, 7.15 – 8.30 pm
How do we use AI in the classroom?
How and when do we use digital media?
The focus should be on exchanging ideas.
