Integrating sources of knowledge in the K-12 physics classroom

When we teach physics, students glean knowledge from authoritative sources and hands-on experience, in ways both qualitative and quantitative. In this talk I will present a way of thinking about the various modes of knowledge acquistion in physics and how to integrate them in a coherent storyline that is responsive to students and deepens their learning. It's not enough to just use multiple modalities; we need to sequence and integrate them deliberately. The goal is to increase access to and persistence in physics. My talk will be based on this essay: https://elissa-dunn-levy.medium.com/hands-on-and-textbooks-and-sims-oh-my-fe9753c98f26
