Peer reviewedMagnusson, Bengt; Tiemann, Bruce – Physics Teacher, 1989
Explores the basic physical laws of the juggling activity. Derives some equations involving height, angle, time, and distance for common juggling objects. Describes the relationships among height, length, mass, number of clubs, number of spins, angular velocity, time, and angle in club juggling. (YP)

Peer reviewedCardinali, Mario Emilio; Giomini, Claudio – Journal of Chemical Education, 1989
Proposes a simple procedure based on an expansion of the exponential terms of Raoult's law by applying it to the case of the benzene-toluene mixture. The results with experimental values are presented as a table. (YP)

Peer reviewedBadeer, Henry S.; Synolakis, Costas E. – Physics Teacher, 1989
Describes Bernoulli's equation and Poiseuille's equation for fluid dynamics. Discusses the application of the combined Bernoulli-Poiseuille equation in real flows, such as viscous flows under gravity and acceleration. (YP)

Peer reviewedDresden, Max – Physics Teacher, 1992
Discusses the early recognition of chaos as seen in Poincar's work solving dynamical problems. Proposes five examples from which an inventory of the manifestation of chaos can be inferred. Discusses some instructional consequences of the development of ideas of chaos. (MDH)
