Wherefore Art Thou, Physics Teacher?

National Science Foundation

Although it is perhaps a bit peculiar to apply Shakespeare to physics teaching career contemplations, the notoriously misinterpreted question of “ Wherefore art thou ?” We believe it is vital to scrutinize the “wherefores” of successful physics teachers, in both the classic meaning ( why teach physics?) 2021; Shah-Amoah 2020).

RT;DL Physics in the Fountain of Fizz

The Blog of Phyz

Mythbusters (among others) focused on the chemistry of the spectacle. But I teach physics. And there's plenty of physics to exploit. We do have an accessible tall (~6 m) wall made of cinder blocks as part of our gymnasium. I was keen to incorporate it into my curriculum, but needed a content-based hook. Mass flow rate?

SIGCSE 2022 Day 1

Computer Science Teacher

I hope we can get access to her talk and show it to students. For example the Physics and Chemistry departments are Stanford want their students to take a Python based CS1 course. FWIW, the school I retired from added Python in part because the Physics teachers encouraged it. Needless to say, the room was full.
