Peer reviewedHoddeson, Lillian Hartmann – Physics Teacher, 1974
Discusses some experimental units which are prepared at the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics and intended to serve in class and science programs to enhance public understanding of science. The materials can serve to portray the scientists as people with human concerns and motivations. (CC)

Peer reviewedNicklin, R. C.; Dinkins, J. – Physics Teacher, 1974
Descriptors: College Science, Demonstrations (Educational), Instructional Materials, Laboratory Techniques
Peer reviewedGardner, Robert – Physics Teacher, 1976
Suggests the use of a colorimeter in which heat produced is related to the amperage and voltage measured. In relating the quantities, a definition for voltage can be obtained. (CP)
Descriptors: Electricity, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Experiments, Physics
Peer reviewedZollman, Dean – Physics Teacher, 1976
Describes the operation and numerous educational uses of an electronic music synthesizer. Capabilities (and limitations) of the synthesizer for use as a wave demonstrator are presented. (CP)
Descriptors: Demonstrations (Educational), Electronic Equipment, Instructional Materials, Music Education
Peer reviewedJones, Edwin R., Jr. – Physics Teacher, 1976
Describes the operation and educational benefits of the use of a closed circuit television system in the demonstration of a hologram. (CP)
Descriptors: Demonstrations (Educational), Holography, Instructional Materials, Laboratory Equipment
Peer reviewedIona, Mario – Physics Teacher, 1977
Describes errors occurring in a textbook presentation of electrical resistance across carbon arcs and filaments. (SL)
Descriptors: Electricity, Instructional Materials, Light, Luminescence
Peer reviewedRisley, John S. – Physics Teacher, 1984
Reviews software package consisting of three programs designed to give students practice on V=IR calculations for series, parallel, and network electric circuits. Indicates that the package for Apple II microcomputers is very good for individual practice and that graphics are useful in teaching students how to draw circuits. (JN)
Descriptors: College Science, Electric Circuits, Electricity, Instructional Materials
Peer reviewedCharpak, G.; Southworth, Brian – Physics Teacher, 1977
Describes the construction and application of two new types of detectors that use the discharge provoked in a gas by the passage of a charged particle as the means of detection. (MLH)
Descriptors: College Science, Higher Education, Instructional Materials, Instrumentation
Peer reviewedBartlett, Albert A. – Physics Teacher, 1977
Examines the mathematics of the exponential function and some examples of its application in analyzing inflation. (MLH)
Descriptors: Business, College Science, Economics, Exponents (Mathematics)
Peer reviewedLafleur, Mimi; Gurr, Fiona – Physics Teacher, 1974
Discusses teaching of two project experiments to nonscience students who were asked to measure the acceleration of a system any way they could and investigate any phenomena that they thought might follow a Poisson distribution. Indicates that physics learning performed outside the physics building is the experiment highlight. (CC)
Descriptors: College Science, Independent Study, Instruction, Instructional Materials
