Science Slam
Young children are naturally interested in everything they see around themso what better way to introduce them to fundamental science concepts than by getting them to have fun with water, dirt, colors, and things that move? This latest series in Bearport Publishings critically acclaimed Science Slam! program gives young readers the opportunity to conduct real experiments and investigations with only minimal assistance from adults. Each title includes at least seven fun experiments that take young readers step-by-step from an intriguing question, through an investigation, and finally to drawing their own scientific conclusions. As with all the books in Bearports Science Slam program, each title in this series features visually dynamic layouts and images that will have budding young scientists lining up to start experimenting!
Astrophysics, Clocks and Fundamental Constants
The question of a possible temporal variation of the fundamental constants was raised by Paul Dirac in his "large number hypothesis" in 1937. Today it appears in the context of the search for a unified theory of the fundamental interactions. It touches both fundamental and applied physics, as the postulate of the unalterability of the constants is the foundation for modern metrology. The book presents reviews written by leading experts in the field. Focussing on the question of variations of the fundamental "constants" in time or space, the chapters cover the theoretical framework in which variations are expected and the search for variations of quantities like the fine-structure constant, the electron/proton mass ratio, g-factors of proton and neutron etc. in astrophysical and geophysical observations and in precision experiments with atomic clocks and frequency standards.
Fundamental Physics With Pulsed Neutron Beams (Fppnb 2000)
Low energy neutron beams are used to address many questions in nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics. The scientific issues include elucidating the nature of time reversal noninvariance; understanding the origin of the baryon asymmetry in the Universe; describing the weak interaction between quarks and between nucleons; understanding the origin of the elements in stellar and big bang nucleosynthesis.This book summarizes how spallation neutron sources work and discuss the advantages of pulsed beams in reducing systematic errors in precision measurements. It also describes recent breakthroughs in ultracold neutron production, together with the physics that will be addressed by the new generation of intense neutron sources.
Fundamental Interactions
This proceedings volume contains the latest developments in particle physics in collider experiments. The contributions cover new results such as the production of quark-gluon plasma in the heavy-ion collider, the new techniques for precision measurement at low energies, and the status of neutrino physics at various laboratories including the new facilities that are at the planning stage.
Teaching Fractions through Situations: A Fundamental Experiment
This work presents one of the original and fundamental experiments of Didactique, a research program whose underlying tenet is that Mathematics Education research should be solidly based on scientific observation. Here the observations are of a series of adventures that were astonishing for both the students and the teachers: the reinvention of fractions and of decimal numbers in a sequence of lessons and situations that permitted the students to construct the concepts for themselves. The book leads the reader through the highlights of the sequence's structure and some of the reasoning behind the lesson choices. It then presents explanations of some of the principal concepts of the Theory of Situations. In the process, it offers the reader the opportunity to join a lively set of fifth graders as they experience a particularly attractive set of lessons and master a topic that baffles many of their contemporaries.
