Welcome
to the Appalachian State University Catalog of Physics
Demonstrations. Here you will find many of the
physics
demonstrations we
use to enhance
classroom
learning. To begin your
search, select an
area of physics in
the table to the left.
When you locate the
desired
demonstration,
complete the
accompanying request
form (ASU faculty
only please).

This
catalog is ordered
according to the
Physics
Instructional
Resource Association
(PIRA) classification
scheme. Each
area is subdivided
into Topics and
Concepts. For
example:
| 1A10.20 Calibrated Masses |
| 1 |
Area |
(Mechanics) |
| A |
Topic |
(Measurement) |
| 10 |
Concept |
(Basic
Units) |
| 20 |
Name |
(Calibrated
Masses) |
Please give us 24 hours advance notice for all
demonstrations.
You are always
welcome to visit us
in the downstairs
stockroom to browse
demonstrations and
fill out a written
request form.
If you need a
demonstration not
listed in the
catalog or would
like for us to
implement your own
design, please allow
additional
time for construction and
materials location.
"In
the matter of
physics the first
lessons should
contain nothing but
what is experimental
and interesting to
see. A pretty
experiment is in
itself often more valuable
than twenty formulae
extracted from our
minds." ~
Albert Einstein |
