Welcome to a Resource for Physics Teachers | Physics & Physical Science Demos, Labs, & Projects for High School Teachers This site is designed to help physics teachers share their ideas. Many of us are the sole physics teacher in their school. It’s nice to know there are others out there to help develop experiments and demonstrations. I will be listing many of my demos and activities along with a commentary on what works and what doesn’t. The school I teach in is new. 2006/2007 was the first year there was a 12th grade. I’m looking for contributors, even if it’s one or two postings. – Scott Like this: Like Loading...

You'll Flip Over Forces & Motion Submitted by Heidi BaitzLudlow Elementary SchoolLudlow, Vermont 05149baitzh@ludlowelementary.org Digital Wish Grant Does Your Classroom Flip? “We are Newtonians, fervent and devout, when we speak of forces and masses, of action and reaction; when we say that a sports team has momentum, when we note the inertia of a tradition or bureaucracy; and when we stretch out an arm and feel the force of gravity all around, pulling earthward.” James Gleick Overview:This intensive course, designed specifically for K-8 teachers, will focus on forces and motion as understood through Newton’s Laws of Motion. Conceptual and quantitative understanding plus applications to many areas of our lives will be emphasized through inquiry, learning cycles, and the use of science notebooks. Goal:This past summer while co-teaching a course on “Forces and Motion” at Castleton State College, my partner, Dr. Forces & Motion Scavenger Hunt Using your flip camera ... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
10 Amazing and Stunning Piano Pieces The Arts The piano has clearly been a wildly popular instrument ever since its first introduction to the music scene, as both a solo instrument and an accompaniment. Its instant popularity led to a massive influx of solo piano pieces being written – some a violent explosion of color and motion, others a slow, melodic meditation. Yet while I’m sure many of you are familiar with hundreds of beautiful, instantly recognizable pieces, this is a list of ten pieces which rival even the most famous pieces in beauty, yet have slipped under the radar. Frederic Chopin Scherzo No. 2 Op. 31 This is probably one of the most famous pieces on the list – and hence I will put it first – however you might not have known it by name. Philip Glass Metamorphosis Philip Glass has been an extremely influential composer in late 20th Century music, yet very few people can name a single piece by him. Franz Liszt Piano Sonata in B. Liszt is a Romantic composer that is (and most certainly was) revered around the world.
The Physics Classroom Advice for Pianists: How to Compose Piano Music In my 25 years of writing piano music, I've arranged over 180 compositions, about 160 of which I've released to the public on CD. A fan who read my advice for pianists article asked if I'd write a similar article for beginning composers. So, I've put together these 12 composition tips for anyone who would like to compose music for the piano. 1) Start With the Melody You don't have to come to the piano with an entire song already in your head before you start composing. 2) What is Your Song About? As you develop your overall melody, think about the emotion or image you want your composition to convey. 3) To Intro or Not to Intro? It is sometimes tempting to write a long introduction (something I'm guilty of) to 'set the mood' for your composition. 4) The Anti-Melody Song? Some compositions are just 'mood' pieces. 5) Follow the Muse t's not uncommon to find that while you're developing a composition, you find yourself taken into an entirely new musical direction. 6) Repeat with Style
