Seminar Abstract

December 18, 2002:

"And Now for Something Different:
Physics Puzzles and Demonstrations
"

Professor Charles Sawicki
Department of Physics
North Dakota State University

As the last seminar before Christmas, some fun is in order! Several physics demonstrations/puzzles will be presented, and hopefully solved with audience participation. On a more serious note, I will also demonstrate (with audience participation) some of the experiments possible with the new LabPro computer interfaces and probes. We need to integrate these in our labs, but they can also be used for demonstrations in large introductory classes.
