AWB Update - February 7, 2020 For more than 30 years retired high school physics instructor, amateur astronomer, and professional writer Dan Heim provided students with the joy of learning the fundamentals of physics, both here on Earth and applied to the skies above.
In the fall of 2018 Dan was instrumental in rebuilding and upgrading the 12" Cave-Cassegrain telescope now in use at the Mt. Meru Astronomical Observatory, Tanzania. He has since remained engaged with MMAO, working to guide applied science instruction at the observatory and in the classroom.
Dan guided MMAO to the freely available Harvard Project Physics text books (https://archive.org/details/projectphysicscollection), the same used in his own classrooms. Having read Unit 1 of the Physics Handbook, the MMAO Ambassadors invited Dan to join in a live Skype session, to answer questions invoked by what they had read.
This is recording of the call includes both visual and audio explanation, and the dialog that unfolded https://youtu.be/EwJqmBdr--U.
Thank you Dan!
