Wave on a String is now available in #PhETStudio. You can set up your preset, save its configuration, and send it as a unique link. It’s that easy.

Day 50 Physics - Came up with a lab idea w/o testing it. Wanted to get students to saw and sand wood so set up a sand grit vs μ lab. Had Ss launch wood through photogate and measured distance then derive μ. Had them sand with different grits and repeat. Reflection in thread #iteachphysics #teach180

What will happen to the balance reading when I drop a magnet through the copper pipe which is supported on a clamp stand on the zeroed balance? A predict and explain demonstration with electromagnetic induction, terminal velocity & Newton 3

4:35pm is an excellent time to teach the ins and outs of the harmonic oscillator. Followed by a computational tutorial until 6:55pm. :) #IteachPhysics

This year's edition of Rings of Fire!
Students are given initial height and velocity of the launched marble. Each group has to calculate the height of their ring at their assigned horizontal distance.

Well now I know why my modified Atwood demo gave me the wrong tension on Monday…
Told the class I’d figure it out! Thank you! #iTeachPhysics

Cool fact. Pasco wireless force probes and carts only work with the hooks they came with. A longer threaded hook interferes w/the flex of the strain gauge and prevents them from being calibrated. The one on the right is correct #ITeachPhysics

Ok, Team: add to the list of things to be careful with on the board (drawing rockets, baseball bats, etc.).
Yesterday working an innocuous block at rest on inclined plane, I labeled friction “Ffs”.🫣
Be safe out there.

Did you know the colour of an LED is dependent on the band gap of the doped semiconductor inside?
And that that band gap is temperature dependent?
And!
If you (gently) dunk said LED in liqN2, neat things happen!

That was my expectation, but when I dunked a green LED in LN2 it turned yellow, a longer wavelength! My investigation led to winning a spectrometer from Ocean Optics in their video contest. youtu.be/1Uf4AoITmAs?... My explanation posted here: the-physics-well.net/its-not-easy... #ITeachPhysics

In Thermal Physics, the students said they had trouble visualizing a 3d standing wave--I did show them a 2d wave. We'll see if this helps. Code at www.glowscript.org#/user/burnsk...
