    "abstract": "During the past several years the authors have developed a new approach to\nthe teaching of Physical Science, a general education course typically found in\nthe curricula of nearly every college and university. This approach, called\n`Physics in Films\u0027, uses scenes from popular movies to illustrate physical\nprinciples and has excited student interest and improved student performance.\n  The analyses of many of the scenes in `Physics in Films\u0027 are a direct\napplication of Fermi calculations -- estimates and approximations designed to\nmake solutions of complex and seemingly intractable problems understandable to\nthe student non-specialist. The intent of this paper is to provide instructors\nwith examples they can use to develop skill in recognizing Fermi problems and\nmaking Fermi calculations in their own courses.",
