List of Demonstration Experiments

Click on the links to get to:

  1. a list of demos most often used by physics faculty teaching introductory courses
  2. a list of movies and video tapes owned by the department
  3. A typical selection of demos and movies for Physics 5, Physics 8, Physics 9, Physics 21, Physics 101, Physics 102, Physics 150, Physics 230.

Each demo item has a brief description and some include pictures. After reviewing the description, you may order the item for your lecture from the Lecture Demonstration Lab by e-mail, making a phone call (8-8192), or going directly to the lab.
