- In August, several hundred physicists and physics educators from all over the world gathered in Reims, France. GIREP-ICPE-MPLT 2010 was a joint event of three different organizations, the Groupe International de Recherch sur l'Enseignement de la Physique (GIREP), the International Commission of Physics Education (ICPE) and the group of Multimedia in Physics Teaching and Learning (MPTL). The note presents some highlights from the conference.

Free fall and harmonic oscillations: Analyzing trampoline jumps
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Physics Education. - : Institute of Physics Publishing. - 0031-9120 .- 1361-6552. ; 50:1, s. 64-70

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Trampolines can be found in many gardens and also in some playgrounds. They offer an easily accessible vertical motion that includes free fall. In this work, the motion on a trampoline is modelled by assuming a linear relation between force and deflection, giving harmonic oscillations for small amplitudes. An expression for the cycle-time is obtained in terms of maximum normalized force from the trampoline and the harmonic frequency. A simple expression is obtained for the ratio between air-time and harmonic period, and the maximum g-factor. The results are compared to experimental results, including accelerometer data showing 7g during bounces on a small trampoline in an amusement park play area. Similar results are obtained on a larger garden trampoline, and even larger accelerations have been measured for gymnastic trampolines.

The equivalence principle comes to school : falling objects and other middle school investigations
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Physics Education. - : IOP Publishing Ltd.. - 0031-9120 .- 1361-6552. ; 49:4, s. 425-430
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Comparing two objects falling together is a small-scale version of Galileo's classical experiment, demonstrating the equivalence between gravitational and inertial mass. We present here investigations by a group of ten-year-olds, who used iPads to record the drops. The movie recordings were essential in the follow-up discussions, enabling the students to compare the different situations and to discern situations where air resistance was essential and where it could be neglected. By considering a number of familiar situations and simple investigations that can be performed, e.g., on a playground, students may come closer to an appreciation of the deep significance of the non-influence of mass on motion under gravity.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Quantum physics is a world of its own, inhabited by strong per- sonalities and mythical creatures such as Schrödinger’s cat, but also by mind-boggling experi- ments and theoretical rules that challenge our intuition while giving spectacular agreement with experimental results. How can we invite students into this fascinating world. ...Read more about the event and register at http://egas44.org/

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Friction is an important phenomenon in everyday life. All children are familiar with playground slides, which may thus be a good starting point for investigating friction. Motion on an inclined plane is a standard physics example. This paper presents an investigation of friction by a group of 11-yearolds. How did they plan their investigations? What aspects of friction could they discern? What understanding of the nature of science was revealed—and developed—during their investigation and subsequent discussion with the teacher?

Stopping a roller coaster train

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A roller coaster ride comes to an end. Magnets on the train induce eddy currents in the braking fins, giving a smooth rise in braking force as the remaining kinetic energy is absorbed by the brakes and converted to thermal energy. In this paper an IR camera was used to monitor the temperature of the first braking fin, before, during and after the passage of a train. In addition, the resulting acceleration of the train was modelled and compared to accelerometer data for the Kanonen roller coaster in Liseberg. The results are used to model the distribution of temperature increase over the braking fins. Finally, the cooling of the fins after the passage of the train is analysed and compared to the IR data.

Learning with the ATLAS experiment at CERN

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- With the start of the LHC, the new particle collider at CERN, the ATLAS experiment is also providing high-energy particle collisions for educational purposes. Several education projects—education scenarios—have been developed and tested on students and teachers in several European countries within the Learning with ATLAS@CERN project. These highly appreciated projects could become a new component in many teachers' classrooms. The Learning with ATLAS portal and the information on the ATLAS public website make it possible for teachers to design educational material for their own situations. To be able to work with real data adds a new dimension to particle physics explorations at school.

Seeing the invisible with schlieren imaging

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Schlieren imaging is a method for visualizing differences in refractive index as caused by pressure or temperature non-uniformities within a medium, or as caused by the mixing of two fluids. It is an inexpensive yet powerful and straightforward tool for sensitive and high-resolution visualization of otherwise invisible phenomena. In this article, application of the method to liquid membranes, sonar pulses and microscopic gas flows is used to illustrate its usefulness and versatility in physics education and research.

Acceleration and rotation in a pendulum ride, measured using an iPhone 4PEnd

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many modern cell phones have built-in sensors that may be used as a resource for physics education. Amusement rides offer examples of many different types of motion, where the acceleration leads to forces experienced throughout the body. A comoving 3D-accelerometer gives an electronic measurement of the varying forces acting on the rider, but a complete description of a motion also requires measurement of the rotation around the three axes, as provided, for example, by the iPhone 4. Here we present and interpret accelerometer and gyroscope data that were collected on a rotary pendulum ride.

Kittinger and Baumgartner: on a mission to the edge of space

- On 15 March 2012, Felix Baumgartner jumped from 71 500 feet [1], a test jump as part of his attempt to beat the earlier record set by Joe Kittinger, who jumped from 102 800 feet in 1960, as part of the US space programme [2] The ascent to these elevations in a helium balloon, followed by free fall, with varying temperatures and speed of sound, and increasing air resistance and density, can lead teachers and students to a discussion on many different aspects of physics.
