Road
Runner Physics DVD
Dan
Burns, of Los Gatos High School, has assembled a
delightful collection of 12 clips of Road Runner
(Accelleratii Incredibus) and his perpetually
hungry nemesis, Coyote (Carnivorous Vulgaris) that
demonstrate some whacky "cartoon physics." These
clips from the Warner Brothers Road Runner cartoons
are intended for use by physics teachers. Each clip
is accompanied by notes and suggested questions to
stimulate classroom discussion. There is also a
PowerPoint that can be used to introduce the clips
(not included on the DVD). The PowerPoint can be
downloaded from Dan's website. It's the last item
at the bottom of the page.
