Description

Abstract. Demonstrations are fantastic. They offer wonderful possibilities to showcase the beauty of physics and amaze students. While it may not always be feasible to include one in every class, the objection “which demo then?” no longer applies. In our recent publication of the online, open-access book Show the Physics we present 99 physics demonstrations, including tested approaches to make these educationally effective. In this workshop we present some of these demonstrations, highlight key aspects of the online features and explain how you can utilize these, as well as contribute to the iterative improvement of the content.
