Interference (Sound)

I'm trying to write a lab using the portable speakers in the storage room. Right now I'm including interference due to two sounds of the same frequency in different phases, beating due to two different frequencies, and determining the wavelength by measuring the distance between successive destructions.

Can anyone think of anything major that can be included in the lab that isn't already?

Demonstrations

How do we feel about trying to come up with demonstrations for some of the more esoteric stuff (charge interaction, magnetism, etc.) that the students are otherwise probably only going to see in a Physlet?

Welcome!

This is where we will keep a log of our efforts to help improve Alabama Science in Motion physics experiments. This effort is part of PH405, Physics for Science teachers, during the Spring 2010 semester.

We're working on both streamlining existing procedures and creating new ones with the wealth of existing equipment.
