I recently ran across these cool posters, which can be ordered from PhysicsCentral for what looks to be free in the US, and can be freely downloaded and printed. The posters themselves are neat, but when you click on them, you get further information. Two in particular deal with energy questions that I heard come up in UE2 and I bet came up in UE1.
This one addresses "How many cheeseburgers do you need to eat to row across the Atlantic Ocean?"
This one addresses "How long you would have to yell to heat a cup of coffee?". I was particularly struck by this one, given all the interest in UE2 about the nature of sound energy. I wonder how the participants in the room would have responded if this poster and its associated discussion had been given to them after their own deep discussion of sound.
I also like the posters: striking visuals and engaging questions. I think I'm going to order the set!
