The graph is a tool for the analysis of data, but like any tool is only as effective as a student’s ability to interpret it in a meaningful way. This article suggests ways that graphs can be plotted to extract the maximum information from an experi

The study of radiation at the introductory college level usually includes experiments to determine the half-life of a radioactive isotope and also a study of the absorption of nuclear radiation by metal foils. These experiments are straightforward to

Heat engines are used in teaching thermodynamics as ideas to develop theory and real things to illustrate working thermodynamic principles. The Stirling engine combines both possibilities. We use it as a tool to illustrate some basic thermodynamic pr
