parlor tricks in physics

Give the kids a wine glass, a shot glass, and a grape. They have to get the grape into the shot glass without touching or scooping it.

Great demonstration of centripetal force.

it's true.

I am a physics teacher. Most days I love it.

Other days I can't finish a sentence without being interrupted. Which is totally my own fault. I tell them I want them to ask questions. I just wish they would learn to only ask them when I am not in a bad mood.
