Shakerin, Said – Physics Teacher, 2019
The purpose of this paper is to present five new devices that demonstrate a variety of flow phenomena in liquids and granular materials that exhibit fluid-like behavior. These devices complement and add on to a recent collection of demonstrations that was published in this journal. The devices are self-contained and portable, and can be utilized…

Abbott, David; Roberts, Andrew; MacIsaac, Dan; Falconer, Kathleen; Genz, Florian; Hoffmann, Stefan; Bresges, André; Weber, Jeremias – Physics Teacher, 2019
Physics students have traditionally prepared many kinds of reports-- laboratory, activity, project, and even book or article reports. Smartphones and YouTube videos are familiar cultural objects to current students, and our students use smartphone cameras to include photographs of apparatus, phenomena, hand-sketched figures, graphs, and…

Lindsay, Richard H. – Physics Teacher, 1983
Describes student projects on applications of solar energy optics to home design. Project criterion (requiring sketches and detailed calculations of time rate of energy flow/production) is that half the heat for the heating season be taken from the solar resource; calculations must be based on meteorological data for a specific location.
