Supportive Communications about Flipping Physics from Teachers!

I also have supportive communications from non-teachers.
  • 2024.05.24: "I, as a physics teacher; I want to thank you very much. You are a talented person. Wherever you work, I am sure you will leave a beautiful mark" @glpakhalid3365
  • 2024.05.24: "Hello Jonathan!  I am fully behind you.  I have supported you on Patreon for years.  Your videos are best on the net for HS Physics.  I have been teaching physics for 10 years and taught AP for the first time this year.  If I was having trouble figuring out how to present a topic I knew there was a pretty high likelihood of finding a good flipping physics vid to help me out.  Best of luck on going all in!" @enoch1680
  • 2024.05.24: "I show your videos to my physics students frequently and recommended your AP 1 ultimate review to my students this year. I appreciate your content!" @erinsheppard2424
  • ​2024.03.20: "Thanks!  My students have found your videos very helpful and so I gave them an extra credit assignment where they summarized some of your videos related to their current lesson plan.  This was easily the most chosen one from the students.  Thanks for all you do!!" @eric_welch
  • 2024.02.01: "I have been a Patreon supporter for years.  I am a physics teacher and I frequently use your videos in my class.  I hope that others will also chip in.  Btw, your videos are the best I have found.  U r so good at covering the little details that most don’t cover.  Keep up the great work." @enoch1680
  • 2024.01.20: "I teach secondary high school physics in Spain and your videos are absolutely great, the students laugh and learn and it's the same for me!. Thank you!" @mveiguelafuentes
  • 2023.12.18: "Well done.  I use your videos in my classes and I support you on Patreon.  I hope enough others do that you are able to continue making videos for years to come.  Yours are among the best available.  You address the subtle details that many leave out or simply don't realize are there.  Thanks" @enoch1680
  • 2023.11.23: "I've said it before and I"ll say it again.  You helped me get through my intro sequence in my Physics BS and now as a PhD professor and researcher, I use your videos to help with lesson plans as well as a valuable resource for my students.  I hope you know how wonderful, instrumental, valuable, and just all around wonderful (oh wait, I said that one, oh well you deserve its twice) you are." @eric_welch
  • 2023.11.21: "Cool gravitational potential energy analogy with the ball being lifted to the wall and dropped to the ground. I'll use this with my General Physics students in next semester's course! Thanks for posting. 🙂" @garyswift135

  • 2022.09.29: "Numbers dependency is usually what causes errors on exams in my college physics classes. And bad free body diagrams. If you can get those two, and watch flipping physics you're bound to do well." Fresh PlayDough
  • 2022.07.01: "Congratulations, JP! You earned it. Considering there are hundreds of slick videos out there in the youtubes, yours are very focused on teaching and helping students that are taking introductory physics, which is a small fraction of people out there. Popular Physics videos reach a much larger, but very different audience. More of those folks should come here first and learn the mathematical, logical, and problem-solving skills needed to better grasp all those other 'gee whiz' type physics concepts. For those that want to know, this content is priceless. Keep up the great, and much needed, work!" El Jison
  • 2022.06.23: "Almost 10 years later, and this video is still pretty awesome.  Thanks for so many good resources that my students have used through the years!  I wish my videos aged this well 😏" Corey Kesler

  • 2021.10.08: "I have used and supported your channel to teach my own flipped highschool physics classes so it was a no-brainer for me to contribute. My students LOVE Billy, Bobby and Bo and can't believe you also teach on top of making these videos. Thank you so much for continuing to create amazing teaching resources and videos that make physics visual and fun :) All the best in the future." Jacob Depodesta
  • 2021.10.04: "I watched your video on flipped learning about 4 years ago while at a tech conferance in Wisconsin.  It changed they way I run my classroom and the way I think about education as a whole.  My class is currently about 50% flipped (I honestly like presenting a handful of things live, and my students enjoy not doing the same thing every day) But I would never go back to the traditional model. As an AP Physics teacher, I can't thank you enough for the impact you have had on my students as they learn Physics, and on myself as I learn to be a better teacher." Patrick Connors
  • 2021.09.22: "Use this video for my college class. Excellent!" Richard Feynman

  • 2021.01.05: "This is outstanding. You've very nicely used the "holstered eqn" to eliminate background noise from the students' work. I liked the end where you went back to the 5 steps and emphasized the multiple ways forces can be summed. You make it very clear it is up to each student to decide what to do." Maggie Merkle - YouTube Comment
  • 2020.12.13: "Thank you for the video!  I just sent the link to my Physics C students.  We just did the coffee filter lab before Thanksgiving (well, some of them actually did it, the students at home just watched me do it) and the timing for the video is perfect.  Thanks for all you do!"

My wife and I came across this as we were doing some deep soul-searching in an effort to process current events and the sentiments of those whose experiences are much different than our own. Of all places to find some guidance, Flipping Physics was one. Thanks for the courage to speak out. You're incredible!" Tom Henderson of The Physics Classroom - YouTube Comment
  • 2020.06.12: "I just want you to know that you are the reason I "flipped" my classroom four years ago.  Watching this video, and hearing you talk about offering them for free really resonated with me.  My students (when we were in school) asked me "Why don't you charge? Why don't you have ads?"  My answer is always, "I believe in open-source education.  Period.".  Thank you for all you do, you've inspired me to be a better educator." Melissa Johnston-Cota - YouTube Comment
  • 2020.06.12: "Thank you for this video, and all the physics videos that have helped my students (and occasionally me ;-) ) understand physics better." Amanda Lawrence
  • 2020.06.10: "As you can see I am a Black man. The rest of it is that I am a Physics teacher...and your videos are an excellent addition to my curriculum in that my AP Physics students love the videos as an added component to the lesson segments. I teach the segment then upload your corresponding videos as a study and review tool. So THANK YOU! The next thing is that I belong to a Physics PLC and I shared your videos with the other teachers and they immediately started using them with their students...so on behalf of my fellow colleagues...THANK YOU!!! Keep up the great work. And I personally thank you for having the self awareness and social fortitude to even make this video!!! AWESOME!!!" Glen Parks - YouTube Comment

  • 2020.03.24: "I am definitely posting your videos for my students to watch.  I am in Oregon and we are out of school until the end of April at the soonest.  These videos are invaluable.  I appreciate the time and effort you have put into them. I do have to say that my students think it is hilarious that you and I have never met, but we do oh so many things the exact same way in class.  You are like my East Coast mini-me.  You are much younger however.  lol" acreales - YouTube Comment
  • 2020.03.14: "You have inspired several of my lessons here in Italy, I am also using them during this period that the schools are closed because of the Coronavirus, thanks to this my students can remain on track with this year’s curriculum" giuseppe sinatra - YouTube Comment

  • 2020.02.07: "Another great video!  Way to anticipate students' questions in advance.  At about 4 minutes I paused the video and wrote down in the margin of my notes, "What is e?"  A minute later I had my answer.  I also appreciate the students reminding each other that it's everyone's job to listen and help each other learn from mistakes.  Great resource for students in any classroom." CCIrishMrsRoth - YouTube Comment
  • 2020.01.13: "I just want to say that as I serve a missionary physics teacher with minimal resources, all of your videos are lifesavers in explaining concepts to my high school students!" jasmine haddad - YouTube Comment
  • 2020.01.04: "I am a physics teacher and use your videos in all my lectures, my students and I think you are amazing! :) We appreciate these!" Kalynn Mitchell - YouTube Comment

The way you work through the problems, present questions and then answer, it's all user friendly and fantastic. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful resource." KELLY DOYLE - YouTube Comment
  • 2019.12.04: "Mr. P your videos are top notch. I use them to supplement my physics curriculum all the time. (I teach physics and chemistry at a vocational-technical high school in southern new jersey)." Ryan Roff - YouTube Comment
  • 2019.11.21: "I began teaching physics five years ago out of necessity due to an opening at our school. I hadn’t been in the physics classroom in years, and your website helped me tremendously. You were the first physics teacher I had had that made physics come alive. Since that time, I have been recognized as a top 10 teacher of the year for our district, hired as an AP reader, and broken the world record for the highest launch from a Galilean Cannon. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your role in these accomplishments. Without your helpful videos, I don’t know if I would’ve had the confidence to continue teaching physics at my school. I fell in love with the subject and plan to teach it for many years to come. Thank you so much for your help, I wish you all the best!" Scott Buhr, MS - Hillcrest High School - Personal email. Shared with permission
  • 2019.11.18: "This has to be one of the absolute BEST videos I have ever seen on resonance for introductory physics. Especially after studying acoustics in my undergrad where I worked on developing a national outreach program for the acoustical society of america, flipping my classroom as a teacher and researching many videos, and now being a graduate physics student studying acoustics again. Well done! I especially love the swing set examples of not resonance and the resonance of the body helping to act as an antenna amplifying the signal of your key fob. I've been asked that question so many times." Cameron Vongsawad - YouTube Comment
  • 2019.10.15: "I use Flipping Physics videos all the time in my Honors and AP Physics 1 classes, but this one is actually perfect for my Conceptual classes.  It's also great timing since I was going to do this on Thursday and Friday this week.  THANK YOU!!" Deborah Grothaus - YouTube Comment
  • 2019.10.14: "Fellow Physics teacher here. I just found your channel and watched four videos in a row and found them all really funny and thought that they explained the contents in a very light, but perfectly understandable and logical way. Congratulations on having found a setting that is so hilarious (the four copies of you in different clothes & characters, mimicking class interactions) that it immediately captures the viewer's attention and creates a live class atmosphere that allows for a natural flow of Q&A. I can only imagine how much time and effort you must have put into all these videos and just want to thank you sincerely for this, in the name of Physics didactics in general and also in my own name (I will definitely use this material in future classes to point certain things out and visualize them!) and in the name of my students in particular, who will be very soon introduced to your channel for review purposes... :) ... I'm really excited that you provide such excellent & funny review material here. May I ask if you ever received a didactics award for this? Honestly, by quality this is right up there with many major resources ... even the legendary Walter Lewin lectures. Excellent work! Thank you so much - in Lewin's words - for the love of Physics. :)" and "I think I have actually never written any comments on Youtube before, but here I just had the feeling that I need to tell you as a colleague how much I admire your dedication to your work. Your students are clearly very lucky to have you as a teacher, some parts in the first introduction videos about learning together and not focussing on other people's mistakes but rather on your own learning (in the video on rounding/sig. fig.s) also tell me that you really care about a positive learning atmosphere, which I also find very important in my class. ... Kind regards from the Swiss School in Querétaro, Mexico - Arne (that's me)."  bahnarne - YouTube Comments
  • 2019.10.02: "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ... As a first year High school teacher, and also first year AP teacher last year your videos literally taught me at 4 a.m., then my students at 8 a.m.  I’ve been using them as edpuzzles (the new live version is fun!) as well. I love how my students facetiously gripe about me assigning more videos and get so excited about the theme song and are always quoting “Ladies and gentle people...”. I’m seriously considering getting one of your wicked awesome tie dyes and going as Mr. P for Halloween! My students have literally had drawn out arguments on who they are most like: Billy, Bobby, or Bo. But seriously, I wanted to personally thank you for how much time and effort you are putting into the videos, there is nothing else even close to the same level being produced. And they just keep getting better and better! I never want to be on YouTube, but you are a tremendous influence on my teaching and highly inspirational. Please keep doing everything the same! Wish you and your family all the best. Again, thank you!" Josh Williams - Personal Patreon Message. Shared with permission

  • 2018.03.16: "THANK YOU! As a physics teacher I've started more highly recommending your videos to students when they are absent to catch up on content. A pair of students were gone for three days (90 min of class a day) at the start of our vectors unit and upon returning said, "I don't even feel behind" which is not usually the case! We then talked about WHY your videos are so helpful. Thanks for sharing common misconceptions, frequent questions, and visual representations as well as traditional notes!" Elizabeth Rosendale - YouTube Comment
  • 2018.03.08: "Great video! I love using your videos with my AP class. Thanks for what you do!" Cathy Carpenter - YouTube Comment
  • 2018.03.03: "Flipping Physics is a must-visit for Physics teachers of any level. Jonathan Palmer-Thomas, a high school Physics teacher with over 15 years of classroom expertise, created an extensive library of videos on any Physics concept covered at the high school level.  His videos are incredibly thorough and easy to understand, with a levity and humor that my high school students loved." A blog post on Paratus from Michael English.
  • 2018.02.19: "I love these videos! I plan to use more to study up on physics. I've been out of the classroom for 7 years and recently returned as a middle school science teacher. I'm looking to go back to teaching physics and I'm relearning a lot of what I've forgotten from years of not flexing the physics muscles. These videos have been great so far! I plan on using them with students too." Caroline Andrea - Facebook Review

  • 2017.09.20: "Amazing for teaching and learning in a non-traditional way. High school physics students can own their learning by watching and rewinding the videos until they understand a particular concept. A teacher's role turns into more contemporary form where teacher facilitates the learning rather then directing through non-flexible instruction." Ljiljana Stojanovic - Facebook Review
  • 2017.09.08: "Your Videos are Genius.  I am in my 40's and have gone back to school to complete my chemistry degree so I can teach high school chemistry and biology. Your videos have helped so much in understanding my physics class.  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.  I hope to bring as much excitement to my chemistry classroom as you bring to the world of physics" Ken Magee - YouTube Comment​
  • 2017.08.19: "Mr. P, from one physics teacher to another, I'm with ya bud. It takes all of us, especially white men, to stand up for equality and make a change. People of color can't be the only ones. And, like others have mentioned, your videos are invaluable. I'm working on getting some funding headed your way via my school. Keeping fingers crossed... and if that doesn't work out, some personal Patreon bucks will come instead. Can't keep using your stuff without paying you back for it :)" jgalexander510 - YouTube Comment

  • 2015.12.03: An email I received, "First, let me start by saying that I greatly appreciate your videos and routinely assign them to my physics students.  You are doing great things for physics education, please keep it up.

    Second, I must say that you are driving me crazy.  When you introduce or write out the names of units that are named for a person, you keep capitalizing them when they do not want to be capitalized.  For example, joules are joules, not Joules.  They are abbreviated J, but when written out they are joules (otherwise, when written out capitalized, you are talking about a scientist’s family members).  Same for watts (W), newtons (N), pascals, you get the idea.  Now you are probably feeling incredulous and wondering why this crazy physics teacher is telling you this crazy rule about units, so here is a link from another crazy source that happens to agree.  Please consider writing out person-named units with lowercase letters in your future videos.  And thanks again for your fantastic work." - Alexandra, Kuchar, Wayland High School, MA

    My reply, "Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know about this, really. I don't pretend to know everything about physics (or is it Physics?) and love to learn more as I make the videos. I think it's wonderful to be corrected by a fellow physics teacher and important to highlight that we can all learn from one another." - Jon
  • 2015.12.03: "Excerpt from an email from a fellow physics teacher: "One day I was late to class and had left my ID badge on my desk. A student happened to see it, and when I came back into the room, she was wearing the badge and pretending to be me. I went with it, sat with the other students, and acted like a student.  I thought that we would eventually get to the point where she would run out of "material" and I would take over, but she decided to put on a Flipping Physics video for the class on the topic we were currently studying. At certain points, I asked her to pause the video and asked questions as if I were a student.  She (and another student who joined her) explained concepts and asked the class questions. The classroom was flipped!  (Maybe not in the way that you use the term, but there was a role reversal.)  The students enjoyed that class so much that they asked if we could do that every Friday, so now we have Flipping Friday in my physics class!"
