Tiberiu Dragoiu-Luca

Around the World in 80 Days
by Ted Shaffner

In his physics class, Tiberiu Dragoiu-Luca has the students do a project where they design a trip around the world, which allows students to learn and practice skills related to his course material -- such as kinematics, acceleration and deceleration, uniform and harmonic motion -- and also to explore different global locations through their trip planning. In the video below, he describes his project, and we also hear from some of the students who have completed the project. The students clearly feel that this is different from many other science projects they have, because they have more ability to express their personalities, but also practice the skills they learn in class.
