792–794p. Abstract: This paper reports on introductory physics instruction contextualized in terms of coronavirus-related personal and societal issues. Students in this descriptive qualitative study gained a strong grasp of a range of physics concepts associated with the nature and mechanisms of the spread of the coronavirus, such as projectile motion, air convection, Reynolds number, and Brownian motion; additionally, they were able to discuss the application of physics relevant to the N95 face masks. Students found this pedagogical approach engaging, as shown in their reflective writing. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** Teaching| Coronaviruses 0031-921X https://doi.org/10.1119/5.0080832 https://doi.org/10.1119/5.0080832 240409 20240409123423.0
