PHYS 102: Intro to Physics Concepts - II

•  video  - Marble and Feather
  (ALSO: air track with sort of loose spring and 3 different mass cars. ALSO: cardboard cubic meter, a couple of 1 kg masses to pass around )
• Measurement of Free Fall Acceleration
• Falling Drops of Milk

• AirPro Hockey pucks
• Propeller Cart on Track
  (use Pasco track )
• Hit the Nail on the Head
  (ALSO: medicine ball and rolling cart to sit on, big penny and piece of cardboard--cardboard turns and penny keeps going straight )
• The Video Encyclopedia of Physics Demonstrations
  (helicopter rotor--I forget which demo it is )
• The Mechanical Universe
  (side 1, chpt 15 "hammer and feather on moon" Also: a big LED timer to time the motion )

•  video  - Ballistics Cart
  (you don't have the wireless video camera yet by any chance(to show from cart's point of view) )
•  video  - The Monkey and the Hunter
• Potential Energy
•  video  - Conservative System
  (also digital camera to take picture )
• Energy Conversion and Conservation
  (solar car and flashlight (if possible, so I can be mobile) )
• Electrolysis of Water

• Simple Machines
  (these items only please: Bloomfield's chair lift,simple lever, differential pulley (hanging in corner), car jack and big LED stopwatch )

• Simple Machines
  (car jack and big LED stopwatch )
•  video  - Attraction and Repulsion Between Charged Objects
  (2x4 on pivot and charging stuff, with electrometer to show difference in charge sign on rod and fabric. Could I get two sets of rod/fabric so I can pass around--I will bring toothpicks to pass around )
•  video  - Van de Graaff Generator
  (want to show discharge and also charge a student; also: digital camera to photograph charged student's hair. ALSO: cause spark across automobile spark plug )
•  video  - Electric Fields
  (primarily want to show that field is large near a sharp point )
•  video  - Lightning Rod
•  video  - Circuit Analysis
  (want a voltage supply and two different resistors (regular resistors or other), want to measure voltage and current for each when in series and parallel. This can be a DC or AC circuit. )

•  video  - Electric Fields
  (to show field near sharp point. ALSO: spark across automotive spark plug )
•  video  - Circuit Analysis
  (with different wattage bulbs--to measure I and V. ALSO: dc circuit board with 67 and 110 ohm resistors. ALSO: blow light bulb, blow fuse, measure 120 Volts from wall, clear light bulb to pass around )

•  video  - Magnetic Fields Associated with Current Carrying Wires 2
  (and other EM stuff detailed on hand-written list )

• Frames of Reference
  (ALSO "The Ultimate Speed" VHS tape. ALSO, hand-cranked generator, skateboard and tennis ball. ALSO: create EM waves with battery and wire and detect with radio )

• Bell in a Vacuum
• Measurement of the Speed of Light
  (ALSO: measure the speed of light in class using laser set up )
• Frames of Reference
  (ALSO: moving magnet induces current in coil--want to show that only relative velocity is important. ALSO: skateboard and tennis ball )

• Einstein Revealed
  (ALSO: bright laser that I can reveal with chalk dust )

• Einstein Revealed
  (Actually I just want "Einstein Express" and the globe of the Earth )

• Propeller Cart on Track
  (want air track, medium mass car, and fairly loose spring to pull it with. ALSO:the larger of the black rolling carts. ALSO:"The Ultimate Speed" and "Einstein Express" )

• The Mechanical Universe
  (part 25 )
• Einstein Revealed
  (ALSO: curved-space demo (ball rolling on cone shape) )

•  video  - Magnetic Deflection of an Electron Beam
• Line (discontinuous) Spectra
•  video  - Photoelectric Effect in Zinc
• The Films of Charles and Ray Eames: Pioneers of Visual Ideas

• Laser Light
  (ALSO: laser light show, laser pointer to pass around, He-Ne laser that is "open" )

• Arago's (Poisson's) Spot
  (ALSO: a flashlight (so I can show a "regular" shadow). ALSO: one or more holograms. I'd especially like to show the VW bug one. )
•  video  - Electron Diffraction
  (ALSO: VHS tape "Matter Waves" )

•  video  - Standing Waves
  (ALSO: optical microscope--will probably show a dollar bill )

•  video  - Photoelectric Effect in Zinc
  (only need UV lamp--to show glowing strip in US currency.ALSO: holograms including white light one if possible. ALSO: loupe to use with ELMO to show close-up of 20$ bill. )

• Diffusion Cloud Chamber
  (just want the VIDEO of this )

• Parallel LCR Circuit or Tank Circuit
  (I'm not sure if this is what I want. All I want to show is that electric circuits have resonances, and a way to sweep through that resonance, preferably by hand (adjusting a variable C or L?). I'm explaining MRI, which uses nuclear resonance, so I want to show some kind of resonance besides mechanical. )

•  video  - Mouse Trap Atomic Bomb
  (ALSO: the demo with two magnets connected by a spring )
