Melde’s experiment
This is a standard standing waves investigation, where you hang masses off an elasticated piece of wire/string to see how this impacts the vibrations. It is good to provide this in the everyday context of a guitar or violin string and you can look at altering the length of the wire or the masses hung on it.
...Melting and Freezing
These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to develop the idea of a substance as a kind of ‘stuff’ which has a definite melting point....
