... as possible, even toys, helps to convey a sense of relevance in preschool and primary school circumstances. Experimental tasks should be short (it usually takes less than 5 min to conduct a practical experiment), easy to repeat, and resettable. Ideally, they should allow for some degree of innovation...

... the idea of energy conservation. In our study, 400 students and teachers were asked to compare the energy change of seemingly disparate processes such as burning candles, the motion of an electric toy car, and a ball that fell to the ground. We found that none of them suggested fields as a means...

... to probability theory in general. Students discover the law of large numbers with dice, thumb tacks, and rubber poppers. The latter is a children's toy, which can be tensioned and put on a flat surface, e.g., a table. After a random amount of time, the poppers release the tension and jump. Rubber poppers play...

Further, these modes are found to be robust in the presence of a special type of spin-orbit coupling, known as the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC). Here, as we shall...

Aerosol sizing techniques for the same particle: (a) Feret's diameter (<ita
Published: August 2022
FIG. 7.2 Aerosol sizing techniques for the same particle: (a) Feret's diameter (Df); (b) Martin's diameter (Dm); and (c) projected area diameter. Note that for Martin's diameter, the particle orientation is random. Df is defined as the mean distance between two tangents drawn perpendicular to each other on opposite sides of the particle. This gives the lengthiest dimension in either the horizontal or the vertical direction. Dm is the mean length of a chord that divides the particle into two equal areas. The projected area diameter is the diameter of a circle with the same projected area as the particle. Stern (1977) , Merkus (2009) , Toy et al. (2014) , Milton et al.
