The science behind Brazilian music.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Queena N. Lee-Chua
(First of Four Parts)
TO START the year right, let's look at how science has made our world more colorful.
Dennis Gonzalez, chair of the National Book Development Board (NBDB), last year lent me a marvelous book "Math and Science Across Cultures." Co-authored by Maurice Bazin, Modesto Tamez and the Exploratorium Teacher Institute, the book is chock-full of hands-on interactive activities which the San Francisco-based Exploratorium is famous for.
What's more, the activities explain math and science principles using materials from around the world. Attention, local textbook writers: you should incorporate such activities in your own works.
Fourteen detailed activities are described at length, with pictures and graphs to help both teacher and learner. In this series of articles, I chose excerpts from four of my favorites, but I highly recommend that interested readers visit the NBDB library to read the entire book for themselves. NBDB is located at A. Ma. Regidor Street, Area XI, UP campus, Diliman, Quezon City (Tel. No. 929-3878).
