Workshop Experiments and Practical Work in Physics Education Workshop

Speaker

Mojca Čepič (University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Education)

Description

The workshop investigates position and orientation of ice during melting in two immiscible fluids, the water, and the oil. The theoretical calculation of position of ice using Archimedes law cannot account for orientation of the ice cube. In addition, observations are not consistent with calculated predictions, and this experimental workshop will allow to find the reasons for this inconsistency.
