Resources for Educators ·
The RZJHS Physics Channel
contains many of the classic first- and second-year physics lectures and
computational spreadsheets for mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves,
light, and sound, and high energy physics. ·
Quantum Computing for High School Teachers,
curriculum notes AAPT Summer 2021. · Quantum Wave Function Collapse for High Schoolers, as given at the January 2020
meeting of the AAPT. All observation of the system inherently interferes with
the quantum state, as demonstrated for pre-calculus high schoolers using
probability math and a game of coin flipping.
· Quantum Electrodynamics, Cartoon Style, as given at the July 2009
meeting of the AAPT. Feynman’s theory of photon exchange becomes engaging and
lucid in this fun analogy involving students trading DVD’s. You too can teach
modern physics to high schoolers!
· The Students Are A Lot Smarter
Than You Think,
senior honors thesis, Northwestern University, 2001. A study on teaching
particle physics to high school students via the game of Feynman dominoes. |

Fiction
and Poetry My
forays into the literary world include The Agagites,
an original midrash on Shmuel Aleph 15, and The Unseen,
an original midrash on parashat Yitro. Lighter
works include
La Cenerentola,
a children’s
adaptation of Rossini’s
opera. Poems include Robinson’s Arch,
The Cornerstone,
and The Yellow Flag.
You
will find “Goldstein: Shanah Bet” and “Shoshanat Ya’akov” on fanfiction.net along with the other
Harry Potter Judaica knocking around Frum Fandom. I am also the editor of “The Robes of Asher
Laskov,” another awesome Jewish romp through the HP-verse. Message me if
you’re interested in reading it, because the author is very shy. |
