Teachers have had had challenges since the dawn of schooling to make children learn things that may not interest them. Science, particularly the tougher disciplines such as quantum physics, is an acquired taste. For many, it is flying over their heads and they don’t mind as long as they can make the grade.
One tool that teachers have often used is presentation in different mediums. How do you make something more interesting? Give it visuals. Give it sounds. Make it appealing beyond the equations.
What Symphony of Science did with their most recent video may not be the answer, but it’s still pretty darn cool to watch. Where else can you see Stephen Hawking and Morgan Freeman in the same video?
