Schema-Building in Physics

Learning builds in schemas; knowledge allows you to accrue more knowledge. As we learn, we arrange information into sets of ideas (schemas) that help us make sense of the world. This makes future recall easier because whole sets of ideas can be recalled together. This is why knowledge builds on knowledge. In this video, Tom Sherrington demonstrates Schema-building using some classic Physics examples.
