PERIMETER INSTITUTE: HANDS-ON WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY
Sunday, January 5th, 2014 I 12:00PM – 1:00PM
The wave-particle duality is one of the deepest mysteries of quantum mechanics.
Come explore a hands-on activity that introduces students to the concepts involved in
the wave-particle duality.
PERIMETER INSTITUTEUTE: SPICING UP CLASSICAL PHYISCS
WITH MODERN EXAMPLES
Sunday, January 5th, 2014 I 2:00PM – 3:00PM
Tired of using the same examples to illustrate concepts in classical physics every year?
We will show you how to use dark matter in your lessons about circular motion, how to
do nuclear physics using electric fields, and how to detect sub-atomic particles using
conservation of momentum. Come and see how modern physics can be explored
within classical curriculum in these easy-to-adapt examples for your classroom.
PERIMETER INSTITUTE: CURVED SPACE-TIME IN
THE CLASSROOM
Monday, January 6th, 2014 I 12:00PM – 1:00PM
Bring Einstein’s curved space-time model for gravity into your classroom using masking
tape and balloons to explain free fall and predict time dilation, as observed in GPS
calculations.
PERIMETER INSTITUTE: MEASURING PLANCK’S CONSTANT
Monday, January 6th, 2014 I 1:00PM – 2:00PM
Come explore Measuring Planck’s Constant, using light emitting diodes (LED’s),
your students will accurately measure Planck’s constant, the fundamental constant
that defines the scale of quantum physics.
All workshops will be held in Salon 13
