Physics Class In 128 Words

I teach my class,
Hope they all pass.

I throw a ball
To show free fall.
See: at the top
The ball will stop,
Then turn, come back
Down with a whack.

On chair I spin,
And they all grin.
Two weights stretched out,
I give a shout
And pull them close
Right to my nose,
Speed up, spin fast.
We have a blast.

Car goes through curve,
(it does not swerve):
Where will it slide?
Not to the side!
If speed too great,
it will go straight!

On board I write.
The chalk is white,
All on my dress-
It’s such a mess.
I need a bath, 
But first: show math!

I blow a dart,
Hit stuffed toy’s heart,
And it goes “pop”.
I love my job!

Excellent poem, Agnes. I am also a physics teacher. Are you in AAPT? If so, would be nice to meet you in one of the AAPT Meetings.

Such a cool poem, Agnes! I wish I had you as my science teacher. This poem was a projectile to the cardiac fun ride. Love and smiles always.

Thank you, John. I am trying to make it for for my students, and I am having fun doing so. I think if the teacher is not having fun, the students can't possibly enjoy the class.

O Agnes, what a wonderful fun teacher you are. I loved watching the video you shared. And loved your poem. You sound as witty as Einstein probably was. A bit above my head but then again, I should attend your lectures. Congrats on your win, Agnes.

I looked up a bunch of one syllable words to be able to do a good one last night. Fell asleep so tired and today I find the contest is closed. Good grief!! Well, at least this one is gonna make the list. I just know it!

Thank you, Paul. I would miss it, too, if I had to quit.

You have entirely too much fun to actually be paid! Plus, to me, you are relieving stress with each and every exercise you perform. Wow, I'm jealous, all that would have made me more jealous is if you drove bumper cars all day! Such a fun write and another exhibit of your talent, Agnes. I loved the read and really am jealous! All the best, but I refuse to watch you enjoy shooting Barney ... CayCay

Thanks, CayCay. I do have fun, but demonstrations are a very small part of what I do. But I have fun working out example problems on the board, too. I can't expect my students to have fun if I don't enjoy it myself :)

You must make learning fun for your students Agnes. All the best for the contest ..Maria
