Master teacher Paul Hewitt teaches non-computational Conceptual Physics. Observe Hewitt teach in a classroom with real students, using engaging demonstrations and artwork. DVD Includes Episodes: Special Relativity I: A discussion on the concept of time dilation leads up to a showing of the 12-minute animated film "Relativistic Time Dilation." Segment length: 49 minutes Special Relativity II: Length, momentum, mass, and Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 are discussed and supported with several fanciful examples. Speculations about going faster than the speed of light are entertained. Segment length: 38 minutes Atoms: Bohr's atomic model is described, with emphasis on the smallness, emptiness, and plentifulness of atoms. Atomic number, atomic mass, relative atomic sizes, and the wave properties of matter are also discussed. Segment length: 43 minutes

Award-winning physics teacher Buzz Putnam shares his secrets to grabbing students attention and making them think! Discrepant events are really just magic tricks for science class, and weve collected a dozen favorites. This kit includes 6 ready-made demos and instructions to make 6 more from common items. Weve even included a Teachers Guide and a CD-Rom video of Buzz himself, so you can perfect your own style and timing. Demo example: The Balloon Challenge presents students with a question; If the air valve is opened between the larger and smaller balloons what will happen? Intuition says the larger balloon would continue to inflate the smaller balloon until equilibrium is achieved. But a discrepant event is one where the outcome is not what you expect!
