Wright who is in his 70’s and has been teaching at TCC since 1974 loves to demonstrate how physics works in real life. “If you just memorize all of this stuff, it would be a torturous class, if they get the key idea then everything else becomes natural,” he says.

That’s why he makes his classes interactive. He uses toys, impressive experiments, and fun activities to demonstrate how the theories work. From teaching about liquid nitrogen by making ice cream to explaining the surface-tension by lying down on a nail bed, Wright never seizes to surprise his class.

“If I don’t get excited about the subject, my students definitely won’t. If I can get people excited about science, that would be amazing,” the professor explains. Wright says that he hopes to get students thinking that everything in life relates to physics.

Wright, who was given one of only 11 Outstanding Faculty Awards by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia in 2002, is not only known for being a professor. He also served as a science consultant and scriptwriter for the NASA Science Files television show and also performs physics demonstrations at theme parks, he has even been on Saturday Night Live back in the day.
