To me, fun means fun! My kids can do more "serious" physics in college.
Doing demos and labs -- rolling cars down tracks, dropping balls, shooting
dart guns, hitting softballs, riding skateboards, spinning stoppers,
investigating charged balloons, etc. These are the many fun days in my
classes, and what I have been talking about. Fun!
I also have those "aha" moments in class when kids "get it." Still,
physics (especially concepts) is challenging for most of my students, even
the brightest ones.
