Join author and Professor Wolfgang Bauer for a 30-minute webinar featuring 20 minutes of interactive demonstrations and assignable activities that help students visualize and explore the physics concepts discussed in lecture. Dr. Bauer will showcase ready-to-use activities that extend learning beyond the classroom, turning abstract ideas into engaging visual experiences.
Time will be given for questions, feedback, and open discussion. Participants will be encouraged to share input and ideas for using these visualization activities to deepen conceptual understanding and enhance student engagement in introductory physics courses.
