Yep. I usually slip torque in when discussing forces. After discussing force and acceleration, I'll pose a question about a force that is not acting through an object's center of mass. That's something you can easily demonstrate in class, and the kids kind of "discover" torque on their own. It's a fun thing to teach.
If a supervisor had observed me doing that 15 years ago, I would have been praised for my creativity. Now, since torque is no longer in the curriculum, I have to sneak it in. Fortunately, most supervisor observations are announced ahead of time, so I'm not very worried.
Sorry if that's too much detail. I was on a roll.
Not to worry, I like how you are teaching!
I’m an engineer, and I shudder to think what the kids would do if they didn’t have teachers such as you to tech the essentials.
‘Tech’ s/b ‘teach’.
Although tech is what’s being taught :D
