The Laughter-Learning Link

Science Scope -- May 2004

These high-interest activities use humor to complement traditional classroom learning. For example, after completing a three-week unit of physics labs, middle school students watched several Three Stooges films and looked for examples of physics principles in action. In another example, students create humorous cartoons to illustrate one of Newton's Laws of Motion. Although science is, by nature, a serious business, each activity will help students identify and explain the concepts taught while enjoying themselves in the process!
