I would like some small bits of paper that I can pick up with charged rod or a small comb. Would like a large blown up ballon that I can charge up. I need glass and teflon rod as well as fur and silk.

I would like a collection of capacitors to show. Could I have two sheets of aluminum foil and one sheet of wax paper,all the same size, so I can roll them up and make a capacitor. I would also like the theremin set up so I can play with it and make weird noise.

I would like to have a collection of ammeters and voltmeters for show and tell. I would also like a digital multimeter to show on the Elmo. Please give me a battery and resistor that I can use to measure values with the multimeter.

I want the digital multimeter and a couple of resistors and capacitors and a 9 V battery to measure. I also want the stud finder demo that Mike built with the electronic stud finder. I wish we still had those cheap dipole magnets that we could break into and show they are still dipoles. Do we have any more? Do we have an arrow (like from a bow and arrow)? If so, I want something like it.

I would like a capacitor from an old radio tuner so I can show the plates changing between them. I would also like a metal detector if you can find one. I would also like to show the behavior of a diode and show a solar cell perhpas producing voltage.

I still have the flu and may not teach on Thursday. If not, PQ will teach for me. I don't know whether he will do these or not.

I want a pencil or something in a beaker of water to show refraction on the Elmo. I also want objects disappearing in oil with the same index of refraction. Separation of white light using a prism.

I would like to show diffraction effects of a CD-ROM on the Elmo. Please try to arrange something clever so the students can see the colors.

I want to show the Einstein Express video from Saturday Night Live. I also want to show a laser disk segment from The Mechanical Universe, disc #42, Chapters 14-39. I need to come in early and look over the material.

I want holography demos. At the very least, I want the box with the girl blowing a kiss.

2006-04-25

I want a Geiger Counter with Fiestaware, lantern mantle, other radioactive items and radioactive sources. Please let me know what you have. I also want Mike's nuclear reaction simulation, and I have URL.
