How Everything Works - Talks by Lou Bloomfield

I frequently give talks about How Things Work and how to teach physics in the context of objects. The exact nature of each talks varies with the audience, but they tend to have similar basic structures. To allow the audiences for those talks to obtain the materials I presented and to make it possible for anyone to see what's on my mind, I will put whatever I can find to document those talks on the pages listed below. -- Lou Bloomfield
