Description
In this presentation we showcase the hands- and minds-on learning through physics demonstrations. We highlight two recent open-access online books: one tailored for high school physics and the other for university-level students. These resources offer a comprehensive collection of physics demonstrations to ignite curiosity and deepen understanding of fundamental principles across mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, and thermodynamics. Other demonstration focus on the Nature of Science and learning about Scientific Inquiry. Different from typical demonstration books, we include videos, Python simulations, in browser data-analysis and, above all, a pedagogical sound description to gain maximum outcome.The presentation will include a live performance of some of the demonstrations, including the lively discussions that we hold with students in our own classes to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon at hand. The aim of this session is to inspire educators to adopt these open-access tools.
