Physics Connections in NASA's Framework for Heliophysics Education

POSTER

Abstract

Heliophysics is an exciting context for teaching many foundational ideas in physics, including motion, electromagnetic radiation, and magnetic fields. Learn about NASA's nine themes in their Framework for Heliophysics Education, with unique lesson recommendations for addressing many of the topics while enriching your introductory physics instruction, and an opportunity to contribute your own ideas well!
