First Time Physics Teacher Welcome First Time Physics Teacher Welcome « Welcome teachers! Whether you teach AP physics, middle school physical science, upper elementary physics topics or informal physics, you all have a stake in the physics understanding of your students. Some of you are well-prepared with a good physics background, some of you may need some help through sharing with each other, discussing challenging topics, finding and using good resources and through some mentoring (aapt.org). Whatever your situation, The Physics Front is here to help provide you with the best in teaching practices and content with editor-vetted materials that are appropriate to your classroom.

STEM Behind Hollywood by Texas Instruments Scientists and experts who consult on Hollywood films and TV worked alongside leading math and science educators to create free classroom activities for TI-Nspire CX™ handhelds, TI-Nspire™ Teacher and Student Software, and TI-Nspire™ Apps for iPad. These activities center around the math and science behind Hollywood themes like zombies, superheroes, space and forensics, and they give students the chance to solve problems just like real-life scientists using the concepts behind their favorite movies and TV shows. TI’s STEM education advocate Her role as one of TV’s most endearing nerds — Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory — is hardly a stretch for TI’s brand ambassador, the Emmy-nominated actress Mayim Bialik. “STEM Behind Hollywood introduces students to what it looks and feels like to be a scientist. Like her Big Bang Theory character, Mayim holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience, is fluent in the language of science and understands its critical concepts inside and out.

dy/dan Free Science Experiments - Experiment of the Week Archives Below we have a list of fun and educational science experiments that can be conducted in the classroom or at home. Most will use simple to find household items. Always be sure to read through experiments completely prior to trying them. Many of these experiments should have adult supervision. - Try to understand how inertia effects a candle flame. - In this experiment, you will see the effects Bernoulli's Principle on resisting gravity. - An explaination of why we get Brain Freeze when we eat cold things like ice cream. - In this experiment, we use red cabbage juice as a Acid/Base indicator. - This fun activity will explore the pull of gravity, as you race it to catch falling coins. - An experiment that shows how heat and cold effect air molecules and resulting air pressure. - Explore how vibration creates sound using a simple comb and wax paper. - What causes the sound when people crack their knuckles? - Ever place a rug on carpet, only to have it move out-of-place over time?
Ethiopian kids hack OLPCs in 5 months with zero instruction What happens if you give a thousand Motorola Zoom tablet PCs to Ethiopian kids who have never even seen a printed word? Within five months, they'll start teaching themselves English while circumventing the security on your OS to customize settings and activate disabled hardware. Whoa. The One Laptop Per Child project started as a way of delivering technology and resources to schools in countries with little or no education infrastructure, using inexpensive computers to improve traditional curricula. What the OLPC Project has realized over the last five or six years, though, is that teaching kids stuff is really not that valuable. Rather than give out laptops (they're actually Motorola Zoom tablets plus solar chargers running custom software) to kids in schools with teachers, the OLPC Project decided to try something completely different: it delivered some boxes of tablets to two villages in Ethiopia, taped shut, with no instructions whatsoever. But that's not what OLPC did. Via MIT

Educational Videos and Games for Kids about Science, Math, Social Studies and English Physics teacher Newton's laws are difficult both for teachers and students at all levels. 1–3 This is still the case despite a long history of critique of the laws as presented in the classroom. For example, more than 50 years ago Eisenbud 4 and Weinstock 5 proposed reformulations of the laws that put them on a sounder, more logically consistent base than is presented in many textbooks without resorting to “intuitional or anthropomorphic contrivances.” 5 In 1990, Arnold Arons 6 wrote that “the Law of Inertia and the concept of force have, historically, been two of the most formidable stumbling blocks for students.” One might imagine, therefore, that by 2012 remedial strategies would have resolved these difficulties, but there is little evidence that the problem has been satisfactorily addressed.
