This 70-Yr-Old Physics Professor Teaches With Amazing Demos, And All His Students Just Love Him

Whether you liked going to school or hated it, there would have been at least once when you would have come across a teacher or a professor who always went the extra length to make sure that the classes were not just knowledgeable but also fun and interactive.

And now a student on Twitter has shared a similar experience with her 70-year old professor who take things to a whole new level.

Professor David Wright at Tidewater Community College finds cool and interactive ways to teach physics to his students. Physics as a subject can not just get confusing but also terribly boring with the formulas, the math and definitely, isn¡¯t the definition of fun (sorry Sheldon Cooper).

But Professor David Wright really makes it fun with interactive demonstrations (involving toys, cool experiments and things from day-to-day life) that helps the student see the practical side of science and take interest in the subject while helping them learn the terminologies and theories better.

From lying down on a nail bed to make them understand how surface-tension works to teaching them about liquid nitrogen by making ice cream in the classroom, he has done it all, and the students truly love him. One such student shared a couple of clips from his classroom that made the whole world fall in love with him.

Speaking about his teaching approach in a college faculty video, Professor David Wright says, ¡°The best way to help them make those connections is to take them to the real world. I like to have fun. I like to play with toys. Physics is a lot of toys. If I don't get excited about the subject, my students definitely won't. If I can get people excited about science, that would be amazing!¡±

He also talks about the approach students and their parents believe in to succeed and get past physics. He said, ¡°If you just memorised all of this stuff It would be a torturous class. If they get the key idea then everything else becomes natural. It ties into everyday life, your motion, your forces that you feel and hopefully we'll get them thinking that everything in life relates to physics.¡±
