The Physics Behind Four Amazing Demonstrations Wk2 Post 3

David G. Willey has the right idea in my opinion. Anything is easier to learn if that particular person finds the topic interestng or fun. Especially in a subject such as Physics. It takes a keen understanding and imagination to truly enjoy this technical subject. Its very interesting, but it could become a little confusing and dull if its all just words on paper and mundane diagrams. By not only presenting the concepts of Physics in real time out of the text books, but also getting himself involved in these demonstrations, he is capturing 100% of the students attention and igniting their interest to another level. These demonstrations are dangerous, but are able to be pulled off by a person who is knowledgeable in Physics. By proving these amazing performances are able to be done by the very concepts that these students learn every time they are in class, it is most likely to keep them involved and see physics in a whole new light. It becomes real because its not just tons of words in a text. With this style of learning, it is tangible and evident that the subject is truly astounding.
