The High School Physics Project
Dr. Tom Altman is a master teacher whose physics classroom is always jumping. He is producing video physics lessons that are available on http://www.teachertube.com, but that play faster on the http://www.youtube.com site.
We fell in together while I was at his school in Oswego, NY and with a free afternoon, Tom and I made these three physics lessons on sound.
A recent email response tells it all:
I just found two lessons that you did in a school about resonance and wavelength. I loved the fact that you connected science to music.
I am a middle school science teacher in Barrington, NH and I am starting a unit on sound. I have the typical old movies that were made by the book company that are extremely boring for the kids.
Resonance and wavelength are hard topics for some students to understand. I am going to show your videos to the class from TeacherTube.com. It is like YouTube but for teachers.
I am so excited to use this. Thank you.
