From Preschool to Theoretical Physics - Coach Roland on Life Long Learning

What are Whiteboards? 32" x 24" pieces of white tile board written on with dry erase markers, cleaned with paper napkins Now they have whteboards everywhere. Shopko, Walmart, Office Depot and so on. In fact I found a nice little whiteboard at the DollarTree for only one dollar each. I got two of them and I use them all the time. But here are a couple of internet places just in case you are needing something online. The $2 Interactive Whiteboard Whiteboarding in the Classroom Whiteboard USA   small boards Small boards personal sine are great, but I guess the idea is to find 24X36 without frames so they are easy for 2 students to work on collaboratively.

I know that the study of kinematics for position, velocity and acceleration is very basic. But it is so important. Believe it or not, some study I have been doing on space/time led me to look very carefully at just what distance and time are. It was so vital that I grasp deeply their relationship that I was led back to review basic kinematics. Incidentally, basic calculus is not hard at all. It is very simple and easy and it is a shame that somehow it is taught so that many people never really get it or enjoy it That is why I think the quickest way for the student to grasp and get and enjoy calculus is through the basic position (displacement) over time, velocity over time, and acceleration over time graphs, and how easy it is to understand differentiation to get velocity and again to get acceleration, and then integrate to go backwards. So, for starters here are a couple of good places to learn the graphs online The physics classroom.  Here is a clever animation of position,

Here it is Want a video on the subject? Doc Schuster has some good ones Here is his playlist . Thank you Doc Schuster for your excellent videos.

Thank you Mr. Andersen Click to Run

Thank you NASA. This video is good for kids and adults tool. Because of some physics work I am doing, I am reviewing and taking a very close look at just what happens when you integrate and differentiate displacement, velocity and acceleration. Here's another one: Law of Conservation of Energy and more Eclips from NASA

Mr. Paul Andersen has excellent science videos on youtube. Whether your child is 10, 15, or 20. Or whether you are an adult learner or even a senior citizen (like me) these videos are just great. He also uses the phet.colorado.edu resources. I just put an example here for you.
