Role <strong>of</strong> Toys in Teaching <strong>Physics</strong> (WSP-10)<br />
This AAPT/PTRA resource book written by Jodi and Roy McCullough contains experiments,<br />
demonstrations, and displays involving toys that can be used to introduce most <strong>of</strong> the major topics<br />
covered in a typical introductory physics class. These activities provide a sense that everyday<br />
objects are closely related to the topics studied in physics. Using toys in teaching physics will certainly<br />
add excitement and enthusiasm to your classroom. (292 pp.) ISBN 0-917853-97-0 ©2000<br />
