Abstract

This article discusses the use of movies in an interdisciplinary physics course called "The Impact of the Atomic Bomb." The author explains how movies can be used to teach physics concepts, explore the interconnectedness of science and society, and relate science to students' experiences. The article provides a list of movies that have been used in the course, along with their topics and how they address the course's learning outcomes. The author also describes the pedagogy of using movies, including prompts for watching the movies, class discussions, essays, and a final survey. The article concludes by highlighting the benefits of using movies in science courses and encouraging educators to consider incorporating movies in their teaching. [Extracted from the article]
