Dixon, Bruce – Sci Educ, 1969
Descriptors: College Science, Instruction, Laboratory Equipment, Laboratory Procedures
Peer reviewedBarrett, Robert p. – Physics Teacher, 1974
Discusses an experiment on friction to illustrate the "law" governing the relationship of the friction force to the volocity of air track cars. (CC)
Descriptors: College Science, Instruction, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Equipment
Peer reviewedHart, Francis X. – American Journal of Physics, 1974
Discusses an experiment which introduces students to the effects of electrical forces on the motion of macroscopic objects. Included are the proecedures of measuring the charge-to-mass ratio from deflections of charged water drops in horizontal fields and the overall charges delivered in a Faraday cup. (CC)

Peer reviewedMiller, B. J. – American Journal of Physics, 1974
Discusses the use of a simple computer exercise to derive a general law for simple pendulum phenomena with square-law damping. Indicates that less mathematical skills are requires in the computer treatment than in the analytical treatment.

Johnston, D. C.; Silbernagel, B. G. – Amer J Phys, 1969
Describes modifications of a commercially available strip-type transmission line, which makes possible reproducible measurements of standing waves on the line. Experimental data yield values for the characteristic impedance, phase velocity and line wavelength of radiation in the transmission line, and the dielectric constant of material in the…

Peer reviewedJohns, Robert H. – Physics Teacher, 1971
The mechanics portion of the PSSC course is taught using man-sized" carts and equipment. The students ride and propel the equipment themselves thereby experiencing the forces and acceleration involved. The experiments are carried out in the school gymnasium. (TS)

Peer reviewedFinegold, Leonard; Hartley, Charles L. – American Journal of Physics, 1972
In a senior modern physics laboratory, design" or ingenuity" experiments were introduced to acquaint students with methods of doing complete experiments. The former deals with proposed long term studies while the latter deals with apparatus and short term actual studies. Students rated the design" experiments higher. (Author/TS)

Fergason, James L. – Amer J Phys, 1970
Describes laboratory experiments designed to demonstrate (1) the properties of cholesteric liquid crystals, (2) thermal mapping, (3) thermal diffusivity, (4) adiabatic expansion of rubber, and (5) measurement of radiated energy by a point source. Contains all of the information on materials and apparatus needed to perform the experiments.…

Experimental techniques are taught in a laboratory course designed with some student options available. Eight experiments which use vacuum systems, radiation sources, dispersion and detection systems are outlined. A course outline and time table are given. The final examination is described as 30 minutes of individual practical work and dialogue…
