Simple experiments and calculations might follow.
Through this exercise we would gain the grounding to formulate testable hypotheses aimed at addressing precise, carefully-articulated questions. These questions lead, in turn, to further inquiries about the physics and chemistry of the problem that could take us first to textbooks and then to research articles and finally to Mind Maps of the essential knowledge structure. Next, we formulate questions aimed at deciphering the kinematics of cream stirring and stretching and the underlying dynamics of the cooling problem. Drawing on carefully-trained core knowledge and skills, a first step is to observe deliberately and describe in detail everything we can about the cup, the coffee, and the response of the drop of cream. To illustrate my approach more formally, in the classroom we work together to begin an analysis of the cup of coffee as a team. However, no matter how inspiring my explanations might be, it is infinitely more engaging to simply place a drop of cream in the coffee and study how the motions driven by the surface cooling disperse the cream and distribute cooling across the surface and over the depth of the coffee. To explain this problem in a class it is easy to envision a series of lectures that would break the issue of how hot coffee cools down into the main components of the science of thermal convection. As an example of what I mean, think of how coffee in thick glass mug cools to the overlying air. An effective way “to teach science” is to do science, with my role being mostly as that of a coach who guides both deliberate practice and inquiry with intention. In the classroom, which can be anywhere, my goal is to create an environment in which knowledge is constructed by students more than it is presented by me.

How to best enable students to grow well-beyond perceived boundaries and perform at a level they could not before imagine for themselves- and do so with joy, a sense of wonder, and a determined connection to the world- is a central goal of my career. Effective teaching is very important to me.
