Re: The Good Stuff



As a point of interest, 40 years ago the Physical Science Study Committee
wondered the same thing and came to the same conclusion: Start the year
with light to grab interest and save mechanics until later. Their product
the PSSC physics text did just that.

A couple of years ago I also woundered why I was spening the beginning of
the course on the hardest material ( kinematics and dynamics.) So I have
decided to start the year with waves, light and sound and finish the year
with mechanics.
