After retirement I?ll be working part time for a 501 3C non-profit
organization called ?Astronomers Without Borders? to extend astronomy
and science training to developing countries and students.
Be sure to introduce them at an early stage to Beta Lyrae, and Larry
Niven's description in 'The Soft Weapon'. That should get them hooked on
astronomy. Then you can go on to 'Neutron Star' by the same author and
see if anyone can guess 'gravity gradient' before it is revealed. That
should take care of the induction into Physics.
You could go even further back, to Willy Ley. 'What is the shape of the
trajectory of a ballistic projectile under gravity?' 'A parabola, sir'
'Oh, you believe in a flat earth?'
