Kamata, Masahiro; Tamamura, Yuna – Physics Education, 2010
In Japan, junior high school students learn about energy conversion between kinetic and potential energy. In addition, they learn about energy conversion among different kinds of energy, such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, light and chemical. As for the conversion between electrical and light energy, teachers usually use lamps or LEDs to…

A Teaching Tool for Molecular Kinetics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Imai, Izumi; Kamata, Masahiro; Miura, Naosuke – Physics Education, 2003
Kinetic models of a gas can be hard for students to understand. Typical tools do not display events at the microscopic level, yet computer simulations of the molecules lack a hands-on aspect. Here a new tool is described that combines the squeezing of a syringe with a computer simulation, and it is shown that this has worked well in class for both…
