Uncertainty Analysis for a Simple Thermal Expansion Experiment
Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer, Geoff Z. Iwata, Punit R. Gandhi
We describe a simple experiment for measuring the thermal expansion coefficient of a metal wire and discuss how the experiment can be used as a tool for exploring the interplay of…
Building Classroom and Organizational Structure Around Positive Cultural Values
Badr F. Albanna, Joel C. Corbo, Dimitri R. Dounas-Frazer +2
The Compass Project is a self-formed group of graduate and undergraduate students in the physical sciences at UC Berkeley. Our goals are to improve undergraduate physics education,…
Learning about non-Newtonian fluids in a student-driven classroom
D. R. Dounas-Frazer, J. Lynn, A. M. Zaniewski +1
We describe a simple, low-cost experiment and corresponding pedagogical strategies for studying fluids whose viscosities depend on shear rate, referred to as non-Newtonian fluids.…
