IAtionary: Physicstubby

Phys-ics-tub-by [FIZ-iks-tuhb-bee] n.

1. A physics teacher, especially one using a video and/or other non-personal medium to instruct students; I was wondering why certain pipes can only support odd numbered harmonics, but once I watched the Physicstubbies I understood.
2. An alternate method of physics instruction based on the idea of leaving a child to watch a screen until he or she understands a concept

Alternate spelling: Fisixtubby

Mr. Giromini came into fisix class to make fun of Mr. Lyons for a picture he sent him of a guy wearing an iPad as a necklace. I believe the word they used was "bling." This wasn't the picture, but I think it's close enough:


Mr. Giromini said the real reason he was making fun of Mr. Lyons was not that he sent him the picture, but that he included the statement that if he had an iPad, this is what he would do with it. He said that he could have all sorts of cool stuff like music videos playing whenever he wanted. The discussion quickly turned to the possibility of recording lectures, then standing in front of the class to play it back. Like the Physicstubbies.
