[Educators] learning by interacting with physical world

[Benjamin, Thomas]

You mentioned music learning. You might like to check out my website at www.oz-rock.com  It's a new way of learning to play music by ear. I re-engineered basic chords to make them easy to play. My first pupils were adults but it is extendable to children and a variety of simple instruments besides guitar. As for science experiments I've mainly developed materials for astronomy with naked eye, binoculars and the Galileoscope project (Int Yr of Astronom 2009). You can find details of these at my sites www.radio-tom.com www.tv-tom.com www.movie-tom.com I also did a lot with spreadsheets which are useful for all types of scientific monitoring.

Subject: [Educators] learning by interacting with physical world

I am looking for any interesting material that can help me understand
better the fundamental process of  how do children and young
adults learn ; especially with regard to interaction with external
physical environment. Examples could be learning music, learning
through science experiments etc

Could you please point me to any research papers/thesis, or
interesting real life experiments you might've come across that you
thought were particularly insightful.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Arjun
