Teaching About Magnetism
No full textThis web page, created by author David P. Stern, are the lecture notes for a presentation to middle and high school teachers to help teach magnetism. The lectures includes a brief history of the study of magnetism from its beginnings in ancient Greece and China to the present day, and three classroom demonstrations. This is part of a larger web site on "The Earth's Magnetosphere." Additionally, the author provides links to a glossary and expanded timeline to help better contextualize the theories addressed in these lecture notes
Newton's Laws
No full textAuthored and curated by David P. Stern, this series of web pages, part of "From Stargazers to Starships," describes Newton's three laws of motion and the two concepts on which they are based, force and inertia. The author breaks down the page in this fashion: the concept of force, motion against outside resistance, and motion with significant resistance. The author also provides additional links for further study on the life of Issac Newton. A lesson plan for instructors is also provided
Flight to Mars
No full textCreated by David P. Stern, this set of three web pages provides a calculation of paths, times, and distances for a flight to Mars and back. The author uses a Hohmann transfer ellipse between two circular orbits. This is an example and application of Kepler's Laws, which are explained in related web pages. Only algebra is used with Kepler's laws and the equation for the energy of Kepler motion. This is part of an extensive work, "From Stargazers to Stars that uses space science as an introduction to basic physics principles. Also available in French
Discovery of the Magnetic Compass
No full textFirst of several linked files, telling the early history of the compass (discovered in China) and how Robert Norman in 1581 showed the magnetic force was not horizontal but slanted downwards, followed by William Gilbert's demonstration that the Earth behaved like a giant magnet; two reviews of Gilbert's 1600 book "De Magnete" follow, as well as a modern version of one of Gilbert's experiments. The web collection also includes several sections for science teachers. The page is a subset of a larger collection of articles of the history of magnetism created by author David P. Stern

A Frying Pan Electrophorus
No full textThis web page, authored and curated by David P. Stern, provides instructions for building an electrophorus from common household items. This type of capacitor was invented by Volta and may have been used to amplify voltage in his experiments. A historical perspective and links to other materials on electrostatics is provided. A Spanish translation is also available
