de Berg, Kevin C.; Greive, Cedric E.
Australian Science Teachers' Journal, v45 n4 p19-26 Nov 1999
Develops and discusses a general explanatory principle for determining whether or not fluid will or will not flow from a siphon after considering explanations provided by textbooks and the writings of Blaise Pascal. Contends that the wide applicability and stable structure of the explanatory principle makes it a useful pedagogical device for nursing and science education. (Contains 22 references.) (Author/WRM)
