Description

Class Experience

Why can't Wile E. Coyote catch Roadrunner?  Obviously, Wile E. just doesn't understand the laws of physics.  With even a basic understanding of physics, he could increase his chances of catching Roadrunner significantly.

We will cover one of the following concepts:
•	Week 1:  States of Matter and changes in states
•	Week 2:  Energy and different types of energy
•	Week 3:  Force and Motion
•	Week 4:  Flight and Gravity

Each week, I will post in the classroom a new lecture video that includes...

When I was a kid, science was one of my least favorite subjects, but as an adult, it is one of my absolute favorites.  I especially love Physics because it combines science and math.  Having a son really honed my love of physics as we started testing ALL of the laws of physics... sometimes on purpose, but sometimes purely by accident.

Week 1:  1 plastic bottle of water, 1 balloon, white vinegar (at least 1 cup), baking soda (at least 1 tablespoon)  Go ahead and throw that bottle of water into the back corner of your fridge.  About an hour before class, put it in the freezer.
Week 2:  1 AA battery, copper 18 gauge wire, wire cutter, needle nosed pliers, ruler

Week 3:  Some toy cars of various size and style (up to 5) + something to use as a ramp like a board
Week 4:  a variety of different types of paper, a penny, a paperclip

No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

Some parental assistance may be needed to help facilitate some of the experiments.
