Today I discuss the rotation problem on the 2018 AP Physics C mechanics test. Note that parts (b) through (e) are, verbatim, appropriate for AP Physics 1 - so even if you don't teach calculus-based physics, listen anyway!
Digressions include:
* Communicating with parents, but keeping their noses out of our students' assignments;
* Teaching students to be brave, not perfect;
* Why memorizing equations means so more than just memorizing equations (including diseases which have modern anecdotes);
* What form should an answer take? Do I need to simplify?
* How integral calculus is like the First Order.
Listen via this link. Enjoy!

Is this podcast still available? Google Drive says that it isn’t (the previous podcast doesn’t work either).
ReplyDeleteWeird. Here's what I see - advice welcome...
ReplyDeleteThough I originally tested it on an iphone and it worked fine, today it initially said "file not found." But, then I told my phone to open the link in a new tab - and it worked. It worked without issue on my computer.
The google drive file is still there, and is still shared with "anyone with the link."
Anyone know why it was having trouble? Suggestions?
