A collection of physics demonstrations costing very little to produce yet illustrating key concepts in simple and playful ways. Includes separate chapters on electricity and magnetism. Intended for instructors, students and curious lay readers. This book is a mixture of scientific history, electronics theory, and hands-on projects. It offers you a chance to demonstrate for yourself some of the great electrostatic discoveries of the past century and a half.
Experiments use safe and inexpensive materials.
This guide includes a script and descriptions of the experiments. This assembly program gives an instructor exciting demonstrations and audience participation techniques that actively involve people in learning about science. It can be used to kick off a classroom unit on electricity, energy or a more extensive unit on physics. A history of the science of electricity. Contains a glossary and a chronological list of major discoveries and inventions.
