 Richard Feynman - the great ExplainerRichard Feynman was a 20th century Physicist his philosophy of learning resonates with mine. And there is much to learn from his videos, enthusiasm and fun he derived from thinking and explaining.
"What do I advise?" Forget it all. Don't be afraid. Do what you get the most pleasure from. Develop your talents wherever they may lead. If you have any talent, or any occupation that delights you, do it, and do it to the hilt!" His video "The complete FUN TO IMAGINE has some great ideas. The first minute sets up his enthusiasm and sense of fun. At 7.18mins in he gives an explanation of the incorporation of carbon into trees and its expulsion through the catastrophe of fire. The light and heat that comes it stored sun. Fabulous visual descriptions of physical phenomena. DOWNLOAD some Feynman A3 Posters |
THE KILLER APP SEARCH FOR WHAT YOU SEE!! Google Lens enables you to point your phone at something, such as a specific plant or bug, and then tap the shutter to search for the object you're pointing at. You'll not only find an answer, but also suggestions of similar things. An object identification tool.
This is pretty amazing, kiddos can take a photo and find out what it is called.
I have been having all sorts of fun with this. |
