How Golden Age's Comics Heroes Can Make Your Physics Lessons Great Again
El Abed, Mohamed
Physics Teacher, v59 n8 p143-147 Nov 2021
For the past 20 years, a constant effort has been made by physics teachers and communication specialists to promote the use of characters from comics or science fiction films in physics teaching practice, because of its positive impact on student motivation and attention. This implementation often comes up against the problem of obtaining permissions to use copyrighted images, leading some authors to avoid using images and simply mention the character's name and others to resort to avatars.
