154- A Second Look at Mathematics and Science in Feature Films

Thursday, April 10, 2014: 12:30 PM-1:30 PM
Jefferson Ballroom (Hilton)
Lead Speaker:
John C. Park


Feature films can engage students in topics related to science and mathematics in an entertaining way. However, some of the physics and mathematics involved in the action-adventure genre are not scientifically valid. This presentation will investigate problems in impulse, friction, magnetism, and electricity.
