- Measurements and Standards
(cardboard liter and cubic meter; 2 1kg masses; beaker, cylinder w/ pieces of
aluminum to measure density of aluminum; camera on scale
)

- Measurements and Standards
(Just need: Newton scale on string, with hanging mass (so I can gently sway it and show force changes).
Also ball on string.
)
1999-09-29
- video - Hanging Masses
(also ball on string
)
- Potential Energy
(no mass or string;
Instead, would like to roll a ball down a curved track; a quarter circle would be ideal--maybe the red flexible track under 203
)
1999-10-01
- Potential Energy
(no weight or string;
Instead, red plastic track and balls again please
)
- Simple Machines
(simple lever (plank, weight, fulcrum), 2 wood blocks and wedge, hydraulic press and something to crush, car jack and stopwatch
)

- The Roman Arch
(No Roman Arch.
Instead: find center of mass of state of virginia.
Also: fork and spoon trick, rolling-uphill demo,Mickey Mouse on tightrope, horse with hanging weight
)
- video - Air Track Collisions
(No executive toy. Instead, on air track, 2 cars connected by spring with center of mass marker. Cars will push-me-pull-you down the track.
Also: styrofoam with red and green lights, leaning tower of pisa, 3-story leaning building, 2 styrofoam balls with tricky balance point
)
1999-10-22
- The Roman Arch
(No Roman Arch. Instead: fork &spoon trick, gray and red leaning tower, yellow half-circle stability toy, Mickey on tightrope, horse with hanging weight,
)
- video - Moment of Inertia Wheel
(with string and suspended mass, and LED timer to measure time of descent. Also: big "spool with thread", torque wrench
)

- video - Forced Oscillations
(Also: tray and water glass (to spin in circle),
light illuminates four times as many squares when double distance
)
1999-11-05
1999-11-08
- Magdeburg Hemispheres
(Also: suction cup, 2 or 3 extra uninflated balloons,vacuum bell jar to explode balloon in, dish of LN2 to shrink balloon, 1-Liter flask to pump air out of and electronic scale to weigh it
)
- Pressure Gauges
(some kind of simple dial gauge, and an uninflated balloon to hook up to it.Also, Newton's Folly
)
- video - Archimedes' Principle I

(with boiling water, ice water, and LN2 only. Also:CAMERA to show pressure readings, and raquetball to break with LN2
)
1999-11-29
1999-12-01
- The Mechanical Universe
(No mechanical universe. Instead: "Eureka" Heat vs. Temp. Also: crossed polarizers and strain
)
1999-12-03
- video - Heat Conduction
(Brownian motion demo, 12-sided die,computer (to access web and to show the different frequency samples),2 tennis balls, balloon, dish of LN2,electronic scale
)
1999-12-06
- video - Heat Conduction
(Brownian motion demo, computer hooked to internet, 12-sided die, Lou's piston-combustion demo (milk jug, methanol, 2-pronged spark generator)
)
