Abstract
Delightful real-world phenomena may capture the attention of stu- dents and may trigger their curiosity. The rolling of a food can on a conveyor belt in a grocery store, the observation of the optimal angle in a shotput contest or of the way a sprinter runs, the appearance of a coloured line on a CD or a DVD under white light, the spectacular dance of sun glints on the shallow waters by the seashore are all phenomena which can be proposed to high-school or undergraduate college students in the “engagement” phase of a lecture in which the Inquiry-Based Learn- ing approach is used. In this work we propose these examples along with a brief justification, based on elementary physics principles, of the observed phenomena.
