Drexel prof built physics ed app through the Philadelphia Museum of Art

With a new iPad app, you can learn about Newton’s Third Law through the Philadelphia Museum of Art‘s statue of the Roman goddess Diana.

It’s part of a Drexel professor’s project to help people realize that physics is all around you.

“In a city like Philadelphia, you can learn about science anywhere,” said Mary Jo Grdina, a professor at Drexel’s School of Education.

The app teaches users about a specific piece of art and the artist and then uses interactive video segments to explain the relevant physics principles.
