Teaching About Magnetism
Teaching About Magnetism
By Robert Reiland
Title information
This book is a comprehensive workshop manual on teaching magnetism, listing 12 laboratory activities on a wide range of magnetism topics. It also covers demonstrations and displays, and computer applications for teaching magnetism. Sections on homework assignments, the use of technology for teaching magnetism, and physics contest events are included.
The workshop manual has been tested and improved over time following feedback from participants.
Key highlights:
• An invaluable resource on how to use demonstrations to inspire students
• The workshop was initially tested in the 1993 class of PTRA-PLUS (Physics Teaching Resource Agent), a program designed to train superior physics teachers across the U.S. in giving workshops for under-prepared physics and physical science teachers.
• Sources of inspiration contributing to the manual include the journal of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), The Physics Teacher.
Teaching About Magnetism is an excellent resource for physics teachers. It is also of interest to anyone who works with magnetic devices, magnetic equipment, magnetic flux, magnetization dynamics, magnetochemistry, or nanomagnetism.
