Materials Needed: a piece of flannel which is clean and dry or paper towel, stream of water, flexible plastic ruler and a party balloon. In order for the stream of water to flow out, you need to open ...
Arduino is transforming physics education by making concepts interactive and hands-on. Students can explore motion, electromagnetism, and energy transfer through real experiments using sensors and ...
The simplest questions are often the best. Robert P Crease tries to answer one from a physics student in Kenya Seeking perfection Tennis balls are a low-cost way to explore simple physics concepts, ...
Everyone needs some “go to” demos. Personally, I like this one. It’s not too difficult to build and it’s easy to use. Take a large block of wood (it needs to have a good mass). I used a left over ...
Through CU Boulder’s Physics through Evidence, Empowerment through Reasoning (PEER) Physics project, Professor Valerie Otero and her team are working with teachers to provide resources to support ...
Physics, especially the part about forces and motion, often feels like a maze of confusing concepts and formulas. If you’ve ever stared at a problem about an object moving or a force acting and ...
Materials Needed: A can of root beer, a can of diet root beer, a large container of water and a deep sink or a bathtub. This experiment number four on our list of simple physics experiments with ...
