Over the past 50 years the Department of Science Teaching at the
Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel was actively involved in
all the components related to curriculum development,
implementation, and research in science, mathematics, and computer
science education: both learning and teaching. These initiatives
are well designed and effective examples of long-term developmental
and comprehensive models of reforms in the way science and
mathematics are learned and taught. The 16 chapters of the book are
divided into two key parts. The first part is on curriculum
development in the sciences and mathematics. The second describes
the implementation of these areas and its related professional
development. Following these chapters, two commentaries are written
by two imminent researchers in science and mathematics teaching and
learning: Professor Alan Schonfeld from UC Berkeley, USA, and
Professor Ilka Parchman from IPN at the University of Kiel,
Germany. The book as a whole, as well as its individual chapters,
are intended for a wide audience of curriculum developers, teacher
educators, researchers on learning and teaching of science and
mathematics and policy makers at the university level interested in
advancing models of academic departments working under a common
philosophy, yet under full academic freedom. Contributors are:
Abraham Arcavi, Michal Armoni, Ron Blonder, Miriam Carmeli, Jason
Cooper, Rachel Rosanne Eidelman, Ruhama Even, Bat-Sheva Eylon, Alex
Friedlander, Nurit Hadas, Rina Hershkowitz, Avi Hofstein, Ronnie
Karsenty, Boris Koichu, Dorothy Langley, Ohad Levkovich, Smadar
Levy, Rachel Mamlok-Naaman, Nir Orion, Zahava Scherz, Alan
Schoenfeld, Yael Shwartz, Michal Tabach, Anat Yarden and Edit

The Outside the Research Lab series is a testament to the fact that
the physics taught to high school and university students IS used
in the real world. This book explores the physics and technology
inherent to a selection of sports which have caught the author's
attention and fascination over the years. Outside the Research Lab,
Volume 3 is a path to discovering how less commonly watched sports
use physics to optimize performance, diagnose injuries, and
increase access to more competitors. It covers Olympic and
Paralympic fencing, show jumping horses, and arguably the most
brutal of motorsports - drag racing. Stunning images throughout the
book and clear, understandable writing are supplemented by offset
detail boxes which take the physics concepts to higher levels.
Outside the Research Lab, Volume 3 is both for the general interest
reader and students in STEM. Lecturers in university physics,
materials science, engineering and other sciences will find this an
excellent basis for teaching undergraduate students the range of
applications for the physics they are learning. There is a vast
range of different areas that require expertise in physics...this
third volume of Outside the Research Lab shows a few with great
detail provided by professionals doing the work.
