Surf these sites: Electrostatic Machines -- Construction details and history of the classic electrostatic generators. Very detailed and descriptive site, with pictures and directions for a wide variety of generators. Industrial Electrostatics Demonstrations -- The project described at this web page was undertaken to develop a set of demonstrations having clear relevance to manufacturing and commercial operations. Some of these demonstrations should also serve to augment the science teacher''s or hobbyist''s bag of tricks by making it easier to reinforce the relationship between basic principles and practical situations. Jearl Walker Discusses the Flying Circus -- Reflects on successes and failures doing the ''bed of nails'' trick, and tells how to get videotapes of some of his shows. NC State Physics Demonstrations Collection -- Comprehensive set of physics demonstration sites. PIRA 200 Demo List -- A collection of 200 physics demos believed by professionals to be essential in teaching about the most common physics phenomena. Demos are sorted by topic and illustrated. PIRA 200, the Top 200 Most Popular Physics Demonstrations -- Contains a descriptive list of the 200 most common and most used physics demonstrations, as determined by a large committee of physics instructors. PIRA Physics Demonstration Bibliography -- This demonstration bibliography contains about 7500 entries including all of Sutton, Freier & Anderson, Meiners, Hilton, AJP, The Video Encyclopedia of Physics Demonstrations, the Minnesota Demonstration Handbook, a few articles from the Physics Teacher, and listings of the PIRA 200, PIRA 500, and PIRA 1000 demonstrations. Physical Science High School Activities -- Combination physical science demonstrations/lessons most appropriate for high school students, but adaptable to all ages. Physics Demonstration Resources On-Line for Science Educators -- This is a must-see site for physics educators interested in developing demonstrations. Provides links to many colleges'' demo resources. Physics Demonstrations - Introduction -- Physics demonstrations, descriptions, discussions of the physics, and hazards to avoid. Groupings are light, magnetism, electricity, sound, heat, and motion. Physics Demonstrations and Science Exhibits -- Part of Bill Beaty''s amateur scientist pages. Includes many links to his and other demonstration sources. Physics Demos and Science Exhibit Designs -- Links to useful demo sites, descriptions of dangerous and not-so-dangerous electrical demonstrations, and some unusual scientific projects. Physics Lecture Demonstrations, a Compilation -- Lecture demonstrations for physics courses, compiled and annotated by Dr. Donald Simanek. Reads like a storybook. Physics of Everyday Life Demonstrations and Activities -- Product of a workshop which focused on five key physical concepts: Newton''s laws of motion, Bernoulli''s equation, the 1st law of thermodynamics, Ohm''s law, and Faraday''s induction law. Through a demonstration and discussion format, the participants found ways to introduce and develop these topics. Pre-College Demonstration Book List -- Annotated list of books for physics and physical science demonstrations as well as science fair projects. Science Alliance Demonstrations -- Physics and physical science experiments and demos from the Science Alliance (in Wichita, Kansas, USA). Static Generator -- Frictional static electricity generator, sparks, arcs, Leyden jar, electrostatic discharge. TAP-L and PIRA FAQ -- Frequently asked questions regarding the physics demonstration-related listserv TAP-L (Teaching APparatus) and the affiliated organization called PIRA (Physics Instructional Resource Organization). Tabletop Earthquakes -- A demonstration of seismology for teachers and students that can be used to augment lessons in earth science, physics, math, social studies, and geography. The Technical Physics Video Series -- A series of 80 QuickTime digital video clips suitable for use in technical physics courses. These movies are also suitable for introductory physics courses at the high school and college level because they use technology to demonstrate basic physics principles. Using Liquid Nitrogen to Make Ice Cream -- It makes good ice cream for two reasons: 1) The mix freezes very quickly, so you get small crystals and a very creamy texture. 2) The evaporating LN2 aerates the mixture, so it doesn''t end up as a frozen lump.
