Graham, G. R. – Physics Education, 1978
Describes a simple procedure for making all-round holograms of small objects. (SL)
Descriptors: Holography, Instruction, Laboratory Experiments, Laboratory Techniques

Sumner, D. J.; Thakkrar, A. K. – Physics Education, 1972
Descriptors: College Science, Electricity, Experiments, Instruction

Phillips, M. D. – Physics Education, 1972
Classifies experimental error into two main groups: systematic error (instrument, personal, inherent, and variational errors) and random errors (reading and setting errors) and presents mathematical treatments for the determination of random errors. (PR)
Descriptors: Data Analysis, Error Patterns, Evaluation Methods, Experiments

Physics Education, 1979
Explains how to demonstrate the following: the hysteresis effect and the existence of domains in Rochelle salt (sodium potassium tartrate); diffraction experiments using a slide with multiple slits; and an analogue technique for learning terminal velocity. (GA)
Descriptors: Chemistry, Electricity, Experiments, Higher Education

Martin, P. F.; And Others – Physics Education, 1978
Describes experiments in ice physics that demonstrate the behavior and properties of ice. Show that ice behaves as an ionic conductor in which charge is transferred by the movement of protons, its electrical conductivity is highly temperature-dependent, and its dielectric properties show dramatic variation in the kilohertz range. (Author/GA)

Hale, D. P. – Physics Education, 1978
Describes an experiment designed to measure the forces between charged parallel plates, and determines the relationship among the effective electrode area, the measured capacitance values, and the electrode spacing of a parallel plate capacitor. (GA)
Descriptors: Electricity, Experiments, Force, Higher Education

Hale, D. P. – Physics Education, 1978
Describes the experiment and the apparatus used to measure electrostatic forces between charged parallel plates and points out possible pitfalls in constructing the apparatus. (GA)
Descriptors: College Science, Electricity, Experiments, Force

Tawney, D. A. – Physics Education, 1972
Suggests the level at which errors could be treated in sixth form physics (England) and then describes two design exercises in which rough estimations of errors are used in the making of design decisions. (Author/PR)
Descriptors: Error Patterns, Experiments, Instruction, Laboratory Techniques

Descriptors: College Science, Electricity, Electronics, Instructional Materials

Jennings, S. G. – Physics Education, 1977
Describes an experimental technique for determining liquid dielectric constants by measuring the rise of the liquid in a paralled-plate capacitor at a known voltage. (MLH)
Descriptors: College Science, Higher Education, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Equipment

Downie, John; Barnes, Francis – Physics Education, 1979
Gives a brief description of open-circuit wind tunnels of rectangular cross-section and of how expanded polystyrene can be used to build a small one. (Author/GA)
Descriptors: Experiments, Instruction, Kinetics, Laboratory Techniques

Physics Education, 1979
Describes a circuit which allows vectors and combinations of vectors to be illustrated by means of bright segments appearing on a c.r.o. screen. Explains how to demonstrate dendritic crystalization with cyclohexanol. Presents a circuit which, with the help of a signal generator and an oscilloscope, facilitates the understanding of the electrical…
