Physic behind Demonstration-Willey

It is interesting to study science if someone knows how to spark other's interests. Most teachers always do talking and explaining theory to their students. Our brains are designed to believe and accept a phenomenon when one can provide real evidence to it. Instead of speaking of foreign science language, it is most effective to demonstrate an amazing physical event. As in the assigned reading “The Physics Behind Four Amazing Demonstration” of David G. Willey, he gives four simple bizarre demonstrations and explain the mystery behind it.

The technique that Willey's teacher uses to persuade the students in physic studying has successfully proven. Human brain is the biggest mystery and miracle of life. It can be useless when the person does not care and have an effort to explore the life. Willey says it himself that he almost fails the class because he was bored. To the society, whenever someone fails, they believe it is because of that person's stupidity. They do not try to understand the real reason of the failure.

A good teacher always knows how to get the students' attention. It is a fortunate to have that kind of teacher. Maybe the same reason applies to this online critical thinking class. We are bored at listening to the teacher's prophecy and try to pursue a different technique with different kinds of reading and videos instead of reading the hundred pages text books.
