Plymouth State partial eclipse presentation on Saturday, October 14, 2023 - from 12:00-1:00 pm. If you are in the Plymouth, NH area, come out and learn about the partial eclipse and, if the weather cooperates, some telescope views! #PlymouthState
Plymouth State Planetarium show on Thursday, October 5, 2023 -- from 5:00-6:00 pm. If you are in the Plymouth, NH area, come out for the FIRST public show in years! #PlymouthState
Another cool twist in this experiment: If the excess string hanging over the edge of the pulley happens to be equal to 1/2 wavelength in length, then it will oscillate with the rest of the string!
This graphic makes absolutely no sense to me. I honestly don’t know what it’s trying to show me. And I’ll do my due diligence to not bother trying to understand it, either, since it’s chock full of myths, haha.
Ok #iteachphysics pholks. I’m going through old equipment and found this. Lopsided glass goalposts? Anyone know what this might be used for? There’s a second smaller one as well.

Bought more happy/sad ball sets from @ArborSci so my students could do this classic experiment instead of watching me do it. I used the old 2D collision ramps made from bent rulers and scrap wood from the shop. Students predicted first, then tried it, then we talked about why.
