Okay, as a physics teacher I have to say, "Thank you so very much!" Physics is all about toys . . . and mathematics. If you can stomach the mix, it is a scream. Oh, and my brother taught history, which is about a bunch of old dead white guys.
:) I think what I liked best about my HS and college physics instructors was that even though it would be soooo easy to each elementary physics as if it were all written in granite, stone-cold facts and formulas, they never did. I think every single one of them approached each topic as if it were still a hotly debated mystery and we were going to explore all the theories and ideas and decide for ourselves using logic and the scientific method. Go physics teachers!
