Science and Movie Stunts Connection

Steve Wolf, a professional stunt and special effects coordinator, introduces his work on movie sets and his educational presentations. He emphasizes the role of science in creating movie stunts and special effects safely. The video covers how science and safety are used to create the illusion of danger and how these concepts can be applied to teaching integrated physics and chemistry. The course aims to equip teachers with the science, techniques, and strategies to become effective and engaging science educators.
