    Experiments - ideas for young students

    Hi, is there anyone who can give me some good links with experiments. I want to present physics to younger pupils (end of elementary and first and second grade of high school). Thanx

    You young whippersnappers have the lamest sense of humour

    I just don't get this RickRolling thing. I mean, fads usually have some sort of punchline, but this doesn't seem to. If this were an office running gag, it would be 'Ha ha I've moved your chair. You've been chair-moved!' It's the kind of joke Family Guy's Chris Griffin would love...

    Why are young men always so hungry?!

    My young men, that is. I need to rant. <begin_rant> I just cooked a fantastic meal, main course was red snapper cooked in wine topped with tomatoes, portabella mushrooms, shallots, and then topped with cheese. I used three pounds (three pounds!) of fish filets for four people. Any leftovers...

    Oddball idea: Living in an RV at a young age

    What do you guys think about living in an RV at a young age (meaning, not retirement)? Right off, I could see the benefits: You own where you live, but it doesn't cost as much as a house. Your home is mobile. You can take more things with you when you travel (by road). You can go on...

    How can I do the double slit experiment with limited resources?

    The young's double slut experiment is pretty awesome i guess.. i never had thought that light + light could ever equal dark.. so I want to try and do the double slit experiment myself. For the slits and the curtain.. I'm thinking of using Aluminum foil into which i can cut fine slits with a...

    Young Tableux and representation theory

    Hey guys, I was just wondering if you have a good references to the use of Young diagrams/Tableuxs specifically to deduce the representation theory of various Lie groups *other than SU(N)* I know how it works for SU(N) and those groups that can be split into tensor copies theoreof, but I have...

    Fields Medal- incentive of dying young

    is the Fields Medal actually an incentive for young mathemticians to dedicate all of their guts to maths and thus die out of energy? i'm a little bit philosophizing here, but back then when the prize just started, those who loved maths didn't do it for the money, but can we say that today...

    Should Children Have Unmonitored Cell Phones?

    Ok so at what point do you draw the line when it comes to children having full blown full featured unmonitored cell phones? Personally, I'd make cell phones equivalent to alcohol. You'd need to be 21 to own one, excessive use in public would be an arrestable offense, and giving a cell phone to...

    Young's Interference Exp: Min Distance b/w Bright Fringes 540nm & 450nm

    In a Young's interference experiment, the two slits are separated by 0.132 mm, and the incident light includes light of wavelengths λ1 = 540 nm and λ2 = 450 nm. The overlapping interference patterns are formed on a screen 1.47 m from the slits. Calculate the minimum distance from the center of...
