Learn more physics!
Q:
Do you have any demonstrations or labs dealing with transistors on a simple and inexpensive level. The age group would be from 12-17. I don’t want to do extensive quantitative studies on the transistor using breadboards, circuits, if it can be avoided. Also, do you have any demos/labs utilizing the piezoelectric effect and the construction of an inexpensive crystal radio?
Many thanks,
William Weber

Dear William,
We dont do any transistor labs with the physics van...this is a bit
advanced for the age group we usually see. I have seen seveal pretty
good "electronics experiment kits" however at local stores. Have you
tried your local radio shack or hobby store...they may have just what
you want.
