Using the PASCO Smart Cart to Teach the Right-Hand Rule
We high school physics teachers tend to associate the right hand rules with electromagnetism. As a student, my first encounter with a right hand rule was when I was introduced to the magnetic field produced by the electric current in a long, straight wire
Outdoor Explorations in Photosynthesis and Respiration
PASCO’s Wireless CO2 Sensor provides a powerful opportunity for students to explore the effects of photosynthesis and respiration in their local environment. This blog will describe how students can use a “Pretzel Barrel...
The View from a Small Town Physics Classroom
Written by: Glenn Grant, a longtime teacher from the small town of Mission, British Columbia, Canada. Let me paint you a picture. Not something physicists normally do but I’ll give it a shot. I teach in a small town in...
