An Introduction to Physics: The Fascinating World of Physics

This is an introduction that could be used during the first day or two of a physics class to let the students know what physics is and what it covers. It is a set of PowerPoint slides, most of which can be used by themselves; however, most of the slides work better with student interaction and as demonstrations. The Script for the slides provides a list of simple items that you can use with the slides to get the students involved. Give yourself some time to collect the items.
