I Was Wrong, So I Learned, Which Is Awesome! (5:03)
|
Even after more than 25 years of teaching physics, I’m still learning new things—and sometimes realizing I was wrong. In this video, I talk about how I misunderstood a concept related to the work due to nonconservative forces and what that taught me about the learning process. Whether you’re a student, teacher, or lifelong learner, this video is a reminder that making mistakes is part of learning. Join me, Mr. P from Flipping Physics, as we normalize being wrong, explore how to learn from errors, and celebrate the continuous journey of understanding physics together.

A huge source of support and resources for me has been the National AP Physics Teacher Facebook group. I suggest you join, no matter what AP Physics class you teach, and even if you teach a non-AP Physics class. There are, of course, many other useful teacher Facebook groups you can join.

- NGSS Physics Teachers; clearly meant for NGSS physics teachers.
- Physics Teacher Community; for physics teachers to discuss curriculum and best practices in the secondary physics classroom.
- Advanced High School Physics Teachers; a group for teachers and professors of advanced high-school physics and undergraduate college physics.
