The following Videos were compiled by Diane Riendeau to serve as a review of some important math concepts that come up in Physics. Try looking here if you are stuck on a math concept. Higgs Boson topWhen cool things happen in physics research, teachers must take advantage of the opportunity to get students interested in what physicists are doing. The Higgs boson is a perfect example. Check out these videos on the Higgs boson. The article in this issue of TPT about the Higgs discovery was written by the same gentleman who stars in the first video. - •
What is a Higgs Boson? www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIglVh7uPyw. - •
The Higgs Boson (God Particle) Explained: www.youtube,com/watch?v=EtrOSf297sw. I like this video as it is a scientist explaining what makes high energy physics experimentation so exciting.
Special thanks to Kim Fermoyle (Harrington High School) and Marianna Anthea Bannon (Mundelein High School) for recommending these videos.
