Re: 9th Grade Show and Tell

["Robert W. Harris" <rwharris@CATH-MEM.ORG>]

There are any number of books on the topic, but I suggest he look at the
PIRA listing (available on the Web, but I don't have the URL at
and).  --Also several university departments have listings and pictures of
demonstrations available as a service to their faculty for online ordering.
(Anyone can look at the list for an idea, just can't order the demo.)

There are a large number of JAVA applets available on the net which can
either demonstrate or provide for a lab simulation.  Use of a search engine
will provide you with a list.
Here is one listing as an example, but there are MANY:

I have a page of Java demonstrations/labs which I use in class listed at my
web site... go to
http://www.cath-mem.org/physics/contents.htm
and click on "Demonstrations".
