Angry Birds Make Glad Students to Learn Physics

Addiction to play Angry Birds? Anyone who tries to play Angry Birds potentially addictive gaming experience that is now popular all over the world.

For that reason, a science teacher from the Westminster Schools in Atlanta, United States try to take advantage of Angry Birds to teach.

"What laws of physics that apply in the world Angry Birds?" Said John Burk, professor of physics at the ninth grade students. He then allowed the students to be 'first' to find the answer.

Deperti quoted from Good Education, July 11, 2011, Burk began wanting to use Angry Birds in the class began late last year and started to write blogs about teaching physics using the game.

According to Burk, since how to play the game is to catapult the birds into the air, then it becomes the perfect tool for teaching projectile motion to law students.

30 minutes, students can instantly understand fully what he wrote in his blog that "two key ingredients of projectile motion: the horizontal component of motion is constant acceleration, while the vertical component is constant acceleration."

Then, if the students directly to practice with using phones in class? Apparently not.

The main reason why the Angry Birds managed to become popular educational tools for teachers of physics worldwide is because Google Chrome provides the game on the Internet. Steps taken by Google is easy teacher and student use in class and analyze scientifically the launch of the birds into the air.

For students, Burk said, they became eager to learn physics because Angry Birds. Even the students want to bring more technology Burk other games in the classroom. So, what candidate the next game?
