E-Books I am working on:
Shapes teaches teachers to use student-made cubes, cones and cylinders to actually experience matter as something with mass and volume, and it subtly introduces the "metric system" and basic mathematical formulas like vcyl = h b useful and meaningful. Once a teacher has taken a class through Shapes, the students will have experienced what most only hear about in lectures. Shapes is probably my most important educational publication.
There will be short books that teach Newton's Laws through hands-on experiences making and using my own inventions and my highly original activities. Here's a partial list:
