Description
In this Make-and-Take session you will construct a class set of Vector Tubes, that were invented by the presenter, to help students more readily understand the right/left hand rules pertaining to magnetic fields associated with current bearing wires. These vector tubes can also be used to help visualize electric fields associated with Gauss or used for other vectors applications. The second part of the Make-and-Take will focus on a basic reflection lab where once completed each student can easily check their results with mirrors and a line laser. Each participant of the “Make-and-Take will construct a class set of stand-up mirrors and a device that will convert a point laser to a line laser.
