Department Of Entomology Newsletter - No. 5, Part 1, 1988, George R. Manglitz

Hexapod Herald and Other Entomology Department Newsletters

When the last Newsletter was published in 1976 (No.4), it was assumed that it would be followed by another In 4 or 5 years. And indeed, considerable effort has been expended on the production of No.5. However, for various very good reasons No.5, although close to publication several times, aborted several times. Now largely because this is the centennial year of our Department, we feel that we can wait no longer. Because of that fact, the format of this Newsletter will be slightly different from those in the past. We have the "news" that you furnished about yourselves 5 or …

Energy In Perspective Laboratory #11: Radiation, Robert Fuller

ADAPT Lessons: Physics

EXPERIMENTS
A) 1st Expt. Distance
1) Plot corrected counts/minute vs corrected distance.
2) Find the mathematical relationship from the graph.
3) Does doubling the distance cut the count rate in half? Check this mathematically.
4) Give a physical explanation of your results.
B) 2nd Expt. Shielding
1) Comment on the absorption of the various objects used in part A. Include count rates.
2) Plot corrected counts/minute vs shielding thickness for paper, aluminum, and lead. Make 1 graph with 3 plots.
3) Find mathematical relationships for each plot and label it clearly.
4) Which material shields the best? Why do you …

Energy In Perspective Laboratory #10: Investigations In Optics, Robert Fuller

ADAPT Lessons: Physics

1. In an old-fashion film-developing device, it is common to use an aperture to control the exposure area of a film. The following diagram is a simplified version. There is a point light source on the left side of the diagram. We place an opaque plate with a 1 cm square hole in its center and 10 cm away from the light source. Then we place a screen 20 cm away from the light source. The plate and the screen are facing the light source and all these objects are arranged in a straight line.

Energy In Perspective Laboratory #9: A Variety Of Physical Systems, Or Determining Relationships For Four (Yes, 4) Experiments, Robert G. Fuller

ADAPT Lessons: Physics

Your task will be to collect data from a variety of physical systems and find the relationships between the manipulated (independent) and responding (dependent) variables using a graphical method. You now know two different ways of analyzing data using two different graphs, either Cartesian or log-log. It will be up to you to decide which to use. Remember: contrastive features, range of variation, and distribution in larger contexts are all necessary to be able to understand something. In physics language that means explore as wide a range of the manipulated variables as seems reasonable. In fact, every physical system is …

Energy In Perspective Laboratory #4: Finding Relationships, Robert G. Fuller

ADAPT Lessons: Physics

A group of ADAPT students took the Starship Enterprise to the planet Kunzonia. When they arrived, they felt funny. Their heads seemed light and their feet seemed heavy. To try to understand the force of gravity on this planet, they made a simple swinging device fashioned from equipment on the starship. It was a flat bar with a pivot at the top and three equally-spaced holes along its length. Using masses of 200gm, 400gm, and 600gm (which could be attached in the holes) a meter stick, and a timer, the students let the bar swing to and fro and made …

Energy In Perspective Laboratory #7: Predictability, Measurements & Uncertainties, Robert G. Fuller

ADAPT Lessons: Physics

Not all repeated measurements of the same physical quantity will give the same numerical value. Consider the following case:
Two groups, morning and afternoon, of students went out on campus and made repeated determinations of the height of Hamilton Hall and Mueller Tower. The six morning teams made a total of 18 different determinations on the height of each structure. The eight afternoon teams obtained 24 values. Shown below:
1. List a variety of ways you can determine a "best" value for each height.
2. Select a method and do it for each height.
3. What is a value for …
