Project Duration

Nov 2007 - May 2008

Project Description

In this project, Project Leader tried to motivate students and enhance their understanding of the mathematical equations and the physical principles underlined in a preparatory Physics course by developing and presenting  experiments of electromagnetism and physics phenomena. The project also engaged students with videos with slow-motioned playback and interactive features.

Project Outcome

• About 50 live demonstrations were performed in class of PHYS013.
• A total of 8 videos, with slow motion and frozen frames, were produced.
