Strategic Alliances: Equipment Construction |
 | | By constructing their own equipment from inexpensive parts, teachers acquire useful teaching tools and a better understanding of the concepts involved in experimenting and in the development of science. |
 | | Further, the cost of demonstration equipment purchased through an educational supply house is often so high that teachers cannot afford to buy much, and certain items are simply too expensive, so being able to construct their own equipment saves money. |
 | | A partial list of the equipment that was built in recent workshop sessions includes standing-wave generators, pulse cannons, laser image generators, trebuchets, hovercraft, pressure cannons, center-of-mass demonstrators, mass sets, sundials, solar observatories, air tracks, pinhole cameras, solar cookers, circuit testers, hydroponics gardens, and motors. |
