Genius Hour

 I'm going to offer my Conceptual Physics class 20% of their time to learn about anything they want.  This is going to be educational for me and I hope inspirational for the students.  Here are a few sites that have information on the concept.

Introducing 20% Time to Your Class

My primary source is A.J. Juliani's book "Inquiry and Innovation in the Classroom".   Here is his site.

As I see how this implements in one class, I will bring it into the AP Physic classes.

What can they study?
1. Anything that is not for a grade in any other class.
2.  Must be approved by the parent/guardian.
3.  Must be approved by the teacher.
4.  Must have a tangible product.
