Star Trek Physics

Science Scope—March 2002

The authors suggest several ways to catch and hold student interest in physics. One excellent method is to use the television series Star Trek to extend the science curriculum. The beauty of this program is that the writers based their creations on known physics. Thus, when science fiction was used, it was still based on accepted theories, making it not only believable to the audience, but able to stand the test of time. An episode guide to the series is included, as are many other valuable resources.
