A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...

From guided inquiry to open-ended challenges, physics labs are evolving to help students think like scientists. By focusing on clear goals, experimental design, and data analysis, educators can foster ...

A student in an Advanced Placement biology class might dissect a fetal pig to study internal organs and the skeleton. But can a student get the same level of experience from a virtual dissection ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

The long-awaited first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way that is not predicted by scientists’ best ...

One study showed that students who took a traditional lab to accompany their science lessons fared no better on the final exam than those who did not. One might assume that a science lab is a place ...

SAN ANTONIO – Join KSAT meteorologist Kaiti Blake and anchor David Sears Wednesdays on GMSA @ 9 a.m. for Kaiti’s Science Lab. Kaiti uses simple, DIY science experiments to illustrate and teach fun ...
