Article
While Bernoulli’s equation is one of the most frequently mentioned topics in physics literature and other means of dissemination, it is also one of the least understood. Oddly enough, in the wonderful book Turning the World Inside Out, Robert Eh[...]
Article
The TPT column “iPhysicsLabs,” which describes an experiment using mobile devices in each article, has been around for exactly 10 years now. We would like to take this anniversary as an opportunity to take stock and to thank the colleagues witho[...]
Article
Learning in the classroom is highly influenced by the experiences a teacher plans for students. Concerned that students were not achieving adequate conceptual knowledge during traditional undergraduate physics courses, the authors used the Makin[...]
Article
The law of conservation of momentum is a fundamental law of nature. It states that the momentum of an isolated system is conserved. In high school or introductory-level physics courses, for simplicity, teachers and textbooks always use collision[...]
Article
This paper shares a hands-on activity that introduces Feynman diagrams and the accompanying idea of using pictorial representations to describe the behavior of subatomic particles—specifically, for electrons and photons—in place of mathematical [...]

During the August 21, 2017, solar eclipse, high school students measured secondary cosmic ray flux using QuarkNet detectors. These students conducted experiments examining cosmic ray flux, shower, speed of muons, and muon lifetime using QuarkNet[...]
Article
Even though many physics teachers take their students on a calculation adventure through circular motion and Newton’s universal law of gravity to determine Earth’s velocity, most of us leave it at that. We present the final result and say, “Look[...]

With support from QuarkNet, high school students investigated the effect of overburden on muon flux by collecting data from Fermilab’s Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) tunnel. Muon flux varied due to a change in overburden creat[...]
Article
In recent years, with the more powerful functions of smartphones, the use of sensors integrated by mobile phones as an auxiliary tool for physical experiment teaching has become more popular. Combined with the related mobile phone apps, people e[...]
Article
The integration of physics, music, and mathematics has long been used to increase students’ interest and motivation in these subjects. For example, previous articles in this journal have shown how to teach physical concepts in a musical context,[...]

The capacitor is a device that can store an electric charge and has a structure with two insulated electrode plates. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, electric charge accumulates on the plates; current flows during the charge accumulat[...]
Article
In one of the Faraday’s experiments an electric current is induced in a conducting loop when a magnet in front of it moves towards or away from the loop. While the direction of circulation of the electric current in the loop has only two options[...]
Article
The subject of mathematics is important for many other subjects, including physics. The questions we ask in physics often need a mathematical translation to be graphically interpreted and transformed. Students learn physics when interacting with[...]
Article
The statics of fluids may seem simple at first but often poses problems for students when it comes to applying it to concrete cases. Despite its relatively simple laws, some subtleties, mainly related to the elastic characteristics of a fluid, m[...]
Article
The refractive index (RI) is probably the single most important parameter in optical systems. Chromatic dispersion, on the other hand, indicates how the RI depends on the wavelength and is central in, e.g., optical communication systems. Chromat[...]
Article
This paper presents a series of experiments that focus on light polarization and polarimetry. Such experiments were conducted with the use of commercial Polaroids, light sensors, and laser pointers, and were designed for an undergraduate food sc[...]
Article
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, virtually all in-person instruction was shut down across the country in 2020 and beyond. This posed special problems for laboratory-based science courses, as those are defined by the conducting of experiments in [...]
Article
The acoustic experiments discussed here are by no means novel; some can be traced back to the 18th century. What may be new to readers is the use of small, low-cost Bluetooth speakers and signal generator applications (apps) to perform them (Fig. 1).

When I began teaching high school physics, I found that many of my students were not just struggling with the mathematics of physics but the way the language was used. Physics is sometimes discussed as being a second language where common words [...]
Article
For this month’s article, we reflect on the impact of COVID and existing challenges in education that have become exacerbated over the past two years. We bring our own perspectives and experiences, and those from the broader communities we belon[...]
