to Materials for physics education
Simple or hands-on experiments and demonstrations are very important.
From the side of the teachers
- They are easy to make and to prepare even if we are busy.
- They can be thrown in of each teacher's own free will during classes.
- Low cost.
From the side of the students
- They are easy to obtain and famillar to the students.
- The sight of them makes the students do for themselves positively.
- The principle is bare and easy to understand.
- They are ready to make and to remake for themselves positively.
Let's exploit simple or hands-on experiments for physics education!
Let's study not only physics itself but also physics for physics
education.
