Session W6: AAPT Workshop VI: Cartoon Physics

Cartoon Physics

In this session, we will break down scenes from classic cartoons like Coyote and Roadrunner and cartoon movies, like the Incredibles using physics concepts taught in high school. Teachers will go through a few hands on experiments and mathematical analyses that students can do to find whether the cartoon scenes showed good or bad physics. Participants will receive information on where to find each clip and hands on materials for easy use in the classroom.
