Making physics fun and relevant to high school and early college students

The world is our lab (busting Mythbusters, cool physics in great Sci. fi. Movies, find something interesting to you and we’ll bust it, annual amusement park physics field trip, orbital mechanics, rocket aerodynamics, flight aerodynamics using VR Microsoft Flight Simulator, roller coaster design using simulator …).

Specific Example Elaborated

Teaching the somewhat advanced topics of orbital mechanics and rocket aerodynamics to high school (10th grade and higher) level students. And why you should consider doing it.

Kids liked it so much, I wrote a book “Physics for Space Travel.”
