UW Physics Lecture Demonstrations

There are three ways to browse demonstrations: by Subject, by Course, or by Storage Location.

1. Browse by Subject

We are in the process of classifying them according to the PIRA classification scheme.

As descriptions become available the links below will become active:

Mechanics

Fluid Mechanics

Waves & Sound

Thermodynamics

Electricity and Magnetism

Optics

Modern Physics

Note: A number of other universities also use the PIRA scheme, so you may be able to find more detail about a particular demonstration by typing the demonstration name and the first part of the PIRA number into a search engine, eg "Cottrell Precipitator 5B30".

2. Browse by Course

Several courses have developed canonical demonstration lists:

Physics 103

Physics 104

Physics 107

Physics 109

Physics 115

Physics 201

Physics 202

Physics 205

Physics 207

Physics 208

Physics 244

Physics 247

Physics 248

Physics 371

Physics 625

3. Browse by Storage Location

Physics demonstrations are stored in 2237 Chamberlin (see map below).

Note there is some overlap, eg some Electricity & Magnetism demonstrations are stored in the Electrostatics Cabinet.
