Aguilar, Horacio Munguia; Landin, Ramon Ochoa – Physics Education, 2012
A simple electronic system for the measurement of high values of resistance is shown. This system allows the measurement of resistance in the range of a few megohm up to 10[superscript 9] [omega]. We have used this system for the evaluation of CdS thin film resistance, but other practical uses in the basic physics laboratory are presented.…

Zeze, Syoji; Itoh, Akio; Oyama, Ayu; Takahashi, Haruka – Physics Education, 2012
We present a sensitive diffusion cloud chamber which does not require any radioactive sources. A major difference from commonly used chambers is the use of a heat sink as its bottom plate. The result of a performance test of the chamber is given. (Contains 8 figures.)

Hatzikraniotis, E.; Kallery, M.; Molohidis, A.; Psillos, D. – Physics Education, 2010
This article examines secondary students' design of experiments after engagement in an innovative and inquiry-oriented module on heat transfer. The module consists of an integration of hands-on experiments, simulated experiments and microscopic model simulations, includes a structured series of guided investigative tasks and was implemented for a…
