Description

Robert Ehrlich recognizes that physics is often perceived as being highly abstract, user-unfriendly, and remote from everyday life. However, he has spent much of his career disproving these stereotypes. In the latest of his provocatively titled books, he provides a collection of simple physics demonstrations and experiments that will be extraordinarily useful to teachers and extremely instructive to students. Intentionally using "low tech" and inexpensive materials from everyday life, Why Toast Lands Jelly-Side Down humanizes key principles of physics.
