Description
Dr Roger Rassool, a senior lecturer in the School of Physics at Melbourne University, explores different approaches to teaching electronics. He shows that questions about the physics underlying household devices can be used to engage students and promote discussion. Demonstrations include: internal reflection of light in water from a watering can, and a model of sound transmitted optically.
