Flipping Physics

Flipping Physics videos turn core physics curriculum into edutainment. Flipping Physics’ creator is a real-life physics teacher whose clear explanations and blackboard work keep learners engaged with a little help from his friends: Billy, Bob, and Bo.

Full disclosure: Billy, Bob, and Bo are the teacher himself, dressed in different outfits and with different attitudes, sitting at a school desk. But that’s just the twist some physics lessons need to keep students entertained as they learn.

This video and others from Flipping Physics may be especially useful for

+ Reinforcing physics lessons learned in class or courseware
+Supplementing text-based lessons with visual aids
