What is Media-based Learning?

Physics is everywhere, including television shows and movies.  Video clips can be used to test conceptual understanding, do data analysis in Logger Pro or Vernier Video Analysis, or address misconceptions.  If you are interested in any of the assignments I have developed based on popular TV shows, please email me.  I have chosen not to publish them here mainly because I use them as assessments in class on a regular basis.
