Junior Cert Science: Unusual demonstration of magnetic fields

This week we looked at a concept called ferromagnetism which allows us to demonstrate the 3-dimensional nature of magnetic fields.

Thanks to my first years for being so co-operative 🙂

Here’s another way of illustrating the idea (which we didn’t do)

Leaving Cert Physics: Unusual resonance demonstrations

This week we demonstrated resonance.

Apart from the standard demonstrations using tuning forks and wine glasses we also tried out variations

1. The Chinese Bowl

2. The aluminium rod
