Description
I am the creator of Storied Physics, a method that begins with something simple and human: what you feel. Many of us can describe emotions like happy, tired, or worried, and sometimes we can't, and that's okay. But when we can explain how we feel, we often do it with clarity. That clarity helps us make sense of our world, and it is the doorway into this course.Storied Physics lives in that same space. If you can describe what your body feels, and whether those feelings are shared by the bus, then you can begin to understand motion in a way that makes sense to you. When your feelings and the bus's "feelings" don't match, you learn how to align them, and that alignment becomes the beginning of physics.This course grows out of a paper I am developing on Storied Physics. In that paper, I argue that the ability to describe your own feelings with clarity is not separate from physics: it is a foundation for it. When you can explain what your body feels and compare it to what the bus would "feel" if it were a person, you begin to build a bridge between lived experience and motion. For many learners, especially those who understand the world through their bodies, their sensations, and their everyday language, this approach opens a door that traditional physics often leaves closed. It may not be for everyone - just as other ways of learning are not for everyone, but for many people, this method creates a powerful way in.
Students who struggle with traditional physics instruction,2e learners and students who think differently,Anyone who wants to understand physics through real life instead of memorization,Teachers interested in embodied or experiential approaches to science,Adults returning to school,Multilingual learners who need physics explained through experience,Learners who freeze when they see formulas
