Waves Vocabulary Chart
Date Submitted: 2017-09-19
Students are given a wave vocabulary
term, and asked to write it in their own
words, and draw a picture to represent
the word.
Candle Lab
Date Submitted: 2017-03-23
A variation on the NGSS rollout 2 activity on the
jar up-side-down over a lit birthday candle
surrounded by water. great lesson for air
pressure, modeling and creating an
investigation!
Electrostatic Precipitator
Date Submitted: 2014-03-24
One of the most common uses of electrostatic fields is the precipitator. It can collect dust particles in even high flow environments such as coal burning power plants. Turn on charge grid and discuss the effect of the field on the charge
Electroscope
Date Submitted: 2014-03-04
This one is designed to show induction and charging effect of an electroscope. I use PVC and a rabbit so I only get negative charge induction and charge but at least it shows the charges which are otherwise invisible.
Simple Magnet Demonstration
Date Submitted: 2014-03-04
A simple animation of paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials which shows why some materials can be magnetized but are not. They can become magnetized if possible. It also helps to explain why magnetic direction is maintained when the magnet is broken.
Doppler Effect
Date Submitted: 2014-02-10
This doppler effect involves sound but I added the blue shift to explain light since it was the same general code.
More Magnetism And Right Hand Rule
Date Submitted: 2013-04-13
These animations to try to show the right hand rule for relating current, flow, magnetic field direction and moving charge. This topic is more for AP physics since it includes lenzs law but a pretty good start demonstrated basic magnetism.

Open End Resonance
Date Submitted: 2013-01-27
One of the toughest concepts to show is sound because the mechanism is invisible. I tried to model compression and rarefaction for open end resonance tube with tuning fork. this one shows displacement and pressure curves
Closed End Resonance
Date Submitted: 2013-01-27
One of the toughest concepts to show is sound because the mechanism is invisible. I tried to model compression and rarefaction for closed end resonance tube with tuning fork. (speed of sound lab) this one shows displacement and pressure curves
