Using children’s literature is a unique way to spark student interest in physics. Who doesn’t love to have a story read to them? Use the Hare and Tortoiseto discuss distance, displacement, velocity and acceleration. Find out how Dr. Seuss and other authors can be used to introduce atoms, physical properties, color mixing and other topics. Literature can be used to enhance your curriculum at all levels including college, high school, middle school and elementary school. If you are teaching or considering a career in teaching this is the session for you!
