Philosophy: Examples: Using something to relate to: Spark Imagination (humor is always good medium): What I have been committed to is Demonstrating and Teaching: In the “OLD” days instructors would use “lecture demonstrations.” I still do, I will merge my lecture demonstrations and the web for the Astronomy, Elementary I and Elementary II topics covered in the labs as well as materials related to illustrate the materials.
The topics will separated into three areas: Astronomy, First Semester Physics, Second Semester Physics and a “virtual museum”.
