John Preston has made a career of explaining complicated subjects to non-scientists in a way that is surprisingly easy to understand. This class will teach you enough physical science to understand many of the issues in the news related to energy - and to make decisions about alternatives. He uses the Kahn Academy approach, where you learn at your own pace outside of class-reading, watching videos, and searching the Internet-and then share discoveries and ask questions in class. John Preston taught physics at Belleville High School and technology at EMU. This class for adults over 50 meets alternate Mondays: 9/26, 10/10, 10/24, 11/7, and 11/21.
