Teaching Physics

Materials from physics teaching and course work, organised into two sections.

Lesson Plans

Developed as part of a physics pedagogy course. Includes:

• Team lesson plans (LessonPlanOct.pdf, LessonPlan_Nov.pdf) — ~30-minute group presentations introducing new physics topics with derivations
• Final lesson plan (FinalLesson.pdf) — individual project designing a 1–2 week instructional unit
• Accompanying written reflections from two months of student tutoring and office hours

Course Codes

Statistical Physics (stat_phys/)

Python (numpy, scipy, matplotlib) implementations of core statistical mechanics topics:

• Distribution functions: Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, Bose-Einstein — with curve fitting
• Specific heat models: Dulong-Petit, Einstein, Debye

Available as a Jupyter notebook, with PDF and HTML exports.

Data Analysis (data_analysis/)

Mathematica notebooks (homework 2–4) and corresponding assignment PDFs from a computational data analysis course.
