Pahwa, Gantavya; Pingali, Rushil G.; Khubchandani, Aashish K.; Roy, Ekansh; Mudaliyar, Roshni R.; Mudaliyar, Rajesh P. – Physics Education, 2017
The aim of this paper is to investigate the stability of a bottle filled with different volumes of water, and to determine the angle at which it topples over for each volume of water. Data for the angle at which the bottle toppled were gathered experimentally using a cylindrical 1 litre bottle, and two theoretical models were then developed,…

Budinski, Natalija – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2017
In this paper we display an example of how educational software Geogebra can be used as a tool for the STEM education. Geogebra is used in the process of introducing students in high school to mathematical models of materials science. Scientific results from materials science experiments were used for mathematical modelling and learning about the…

Investigating the Inverse Square Law with the Timepix Hybrid Silicon Pixel Detector: A CERN [at] School Demonstration Experiment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Whyntie, T.; Parker, B. – Physics Education, 2013
The Timepix hybrid silicon pixel detector has been used to investigate the inverse square law of radiation from a point source as a demonstration of the CERN [at] school detector kit capabilities. The experiment described uses a Timepix detector to detect the gamma rays emitted by an [superscript 241]Am radioactive source at a number of different…

Torres, Sergio; Powers, Judith L. – Science Scope, 2009
In the exciting, "out of this world" activity described here, students measure the Earth using meter sticks while measuring their shadows in two distant locations. To obtain the size of the Earth, students discover the connection between the measurements of the shadows and a model of the spherical Earth following the method developed by…
