100 Amazing videos for teaching and studying physics
onlinecolleges.netWhile physics can be a fascinating subject, some of the concepts it presents aren’t always the easiest for students to understand or for teachers to convey to their classes. That’s where the web can come to the rescue. Here you’ll find a list of some great videos that both clearly demonstrate the major ideas of physics for beginners, as well as provide insights in more complex topics for those who are more familiar with the subject matter, like students at online colleges for engineering. Check through the list to see if there’s something that can facilitate your teaching or learning process.
These videos will help show the lighter side of physics with amazing experiments, funny raps and explanations of concepts in terms students can understand.
Constellations
I recently taught a lesson on astronomy and constellations. The students were so interested in the stars that I did some research and found a great interactive constellation map. Since you can’t take the students out at night, this is the next best thing!
For my lesson we spent the morning making astronaut helmets out of paper plates (I’ll put a tutorial of this up later!). Then during planning, I covered all windows with dark sheets and turned off the lights. The students put on their helmets an we began our exploration of space!!
