A Stand-Alone Interactive Physics Showcase
Pfaff, Daniel; Hagelgans, Anja; Weidemuller, Matthias; Bretzer, Klaus
Physics Teacher, v50 n4 p235-236 Apr 2012
We present a showcase with interactive exhibits of basic physical experiments that constitutes a complementary method for teaching physics and interesting students in physical phenomena. Our interactive physics showcase, shown in Fig. 1, stimulates interest for science by letting the students experience, firsthand, surprising phenomena and teaching physical concepts. By letting the students interact with the experiments under optimum safety conditions and with good protection against vandalism, our approach complements interactive simulations, e.g., as offered by the Physics Education Technology project. (Contains 2 figures.)
