I am so lucky to teach at my wonderful school where students work very hard to learn difficult concepts in AP physics. I want to make that learning as much fun as possible in a subject that most people think of as intimidating. This past spring, I created a review for the AP exam where students competed to solve problems and break into a prize box. When, the competition was over, the winners didn't want me to spend any more money on them. They just wanted me to have them out to my house for lunch. They were so appreciative of the work I did to make the review exciting and engaging.
I want my classroom to always be a place of wonder.
I want students to learn why the sky is blue, why enormous aircraft carriers float, and how electric guitars create sound. I want them to think of physics wherever they go whether they are flying in a plane, resting on a beach, or playing their favorite sport.
