The author also provides a link to other successful and less successful attempts. http://www.compadre.org/introphys/items/detail.cfm?ID=8692 http://www.wildwoodsurvival.com/survival/fire/ice/rb/rbfirefromice1.html http://www.compadre.org/introphys/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=8692 Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:00:00 EST This is a hands-on classroom activity on electricity and magnetism created by the Advanced Light Source team as part of a 1996 workshop for teachers. http://www.compadre.org/introphys/items/detail.cfm?ID=8069 http://www.lbl.gov/MicroWorlds/teachers/movingelectrons.pdf http://www.compadre.org/introphys/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=8069 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:00:00 EST This Adobe Shockwave simulation, provides the gravitational analog for two "electrical resistors" placed in parallel. http://www.compadre.org/introphys/items/detail.cfm?ID=7968 http://web.hep.uiuc.edu/home/tstelzer/102project/trace2.htm http://www.compadre.org/introphys/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=7968 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EST This resource provides instructions for constructing a simple "Soda Bottle Speaker." A parts list and information about the materials user are included, as well as two experiments to study the properties of the speaker. http://www.compadre.org/introphys/items/detail.cfm?ID=3178 http://physics.mercer.edu/marone/soda/sbsintro.htm http://www.compadre.org/introphys/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=3178 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:00:00 EST This webpage contains an interactive simulation that allows users to explore the physics behind lasers. Two simulations are available, the first showing the optical excitation of a single atom and the second showing the result of interactions between multiple atoms. http://www.compadre.org/introphys/items/detail.cfm?ID=4425 http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=Lasers http://www.compadre.org/introphys/bulletinboard/Thread.cfm?ID=4425 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EST
