This page is intended to provide assistance for non- physicists, that is, persons who are not physicists and who are baffled by some physics concepts. This page is not intended as a substitute for classroom instruction but as only an aid for helping students and other individuals to "see" or visualize some physics concepts that are commonly found to be confusing. ...more on Wikipedia about "Common physics confusers"
In physics, particularly in physics education, a Fermi problem, Fermi question, or Fermi estimate is an estimation problem designed to teach dimensional analysis, approximation, and the importance of clearly identifying one's assumptions. Named for 20th century physicist Enrico Fermi, such problems typically involve making justified guesses about quantities that seem impossible to compute given limited available information. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fermi problem"

The British Royal Institution Christmas Lectures have been held annually since 1825. They serve as a forum for presenting complex scientific issues to young people in an informative and entertaining manner. In the mid 1820s Michael Faraday, a former Director of the Royal Institution, initiated the first Christmas Lecture series at a time when organised education for young people was scarce. He presented a total of 19 series, establishing an exciting new venture of teaching science to young people that was eventually copied by other institutions internationally. ...more on Wikipedia about "Royal Institution Christmas Lectures"
Solar system models, especially mechanical models, called orreries, that illustrate the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons in the solar system have been built for centuries. While they often showed relative sizes, these models were usually not built to scale. The enormous ratio of interplanetary distances to planetary diameters makes constructing a scale model of the solar system a challenging task. As one example of the difficulty, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is almost 12,000 times the diameter of the Earth. ...more on Wikipedia about "Solar system model"
