Conceptual Physics Alive: Linear Motion, Vectors & Projectiles

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 3 Episodes: Episode 1: Introduction: Paul Hewitt talks about teaching physics conceptually and his earlier efforts at videotaping. Short segments of demonstrations done in 1974 and 1984 are shown. We see Paul's opening day lecture at his fall 1989 conceptual physics class at the University of Hawaii, during which Paul poses some thought-provoking questions about the physical world. The introduction is designed to give a flavor of what the Conceptual Physics course is all about. Segment length: 37 minutes Episode 2: Linear Motion: Concepts of speed, velocity, and acceleration are introduced and supported with a variety of examples. The effect of air resistance on falling objects is also discussed. Segment length: 33 minutes Episode 3: Vectors and Projectiles: Vector addition and vector resolution ar
