Arduino

Posted in 8-12, English, Paid, Post Secondary, Resource | Tagged with circuits, electricity, makerspace, physics, STEM

Arduino is a small open-source electronics platform that integrates hardware and software. The Arduino board can either be purchased online or borrowed from the UBC Woodward library. The software is available for free online for Windows, Mac and Linux. Features include: Hardware is inexpensive (between $5 and $40 depending on brand and where you purchase) Software can run on […]

Law of reflection:  the distance between a mirror and a virtual image – Physics Video Tutorial

Law of reflection: the distance between a mirror and a virtual image – Physics Video Tutorial

Posted in 8-12, English, Resource, Video & Video Tutorials | Tagged with EDCP 357, Free, optics, physics, reflection, science, Teacher Use

Is there an experiment that can help convince our students that the distance between a virtual object to a plane mirror is exactly the same as the distance between the object and the mirror? Students can directly observe how a virtual image is positioned in relation to the actual object in this brief and concise […]

Ideal gas laws and the workings of an ancient Chinese toy – Physics Video Tutorial

Posted in 8-12, English, Resource, Video & Video Tutorials | Tagged with EDCP 357, Free, Galileo, gas laws, physics, science, thermal expansion, thermoscope

Is there something out there that is much older than Galileo’s thermometer? Is there a simple toy that can simply explain thermal expansion, Ideal gas laws, and at the same time contest the thermoscope of Galileo Galilei? Watch Dr. Milner-Bolotin as she introduces one of her best souvenirs from her trip to China. created by […]

How optical fibers work – Physics Video Tutorial

How optical fibers work – Physics Video Tutorial

Posted in 8-12, English, Resource, Video & Video Tutorials | Tagged with EDCP 357, Free, optical fibers, physics, science

Optical fibers are indispensable in modern telecommunication, computer networking, etc. due to their total reflective properties. But how do we assist students to visualize how optical fibers exhibit total internal reflection? Watch this video and be informed. created by Teacher Candidates in EDCP 357 using Camtasia software in December 2016 as part of an in-class […]
