This course explores the science underlying technology and the physics of everyday life. It will cover topics such as why we see rainbows, how airplanes fly, why microwave ovens heat up your food, why your phone battery doesn't last long enough, and how your computer (or the cloud) can store your entire music library. Each lecture will include a class demo followed by a revealing of the simple physics behind the observations. No background in science or mathematics is required.
