Have you used Desmos - an online graphing calculator - to demonstrate physical principles? You might wish to try The Physics Classroom's Standing Wave Formation Desmos file to demonstrate the formation of standing waves by the superposition of two interfering waves. It's HTML5 - works on tablets such as the iPad, Chromebooks, and smart phones. See

Welcome to Lab Blab and Other Gab! The role of this blog was originally to support physics teachers in the tasks of doing physics labs. As of January 2020, we widened our focus to include posts about anything related to teaching, education, physics education, and resources found on our website. Still mourning the loss of Google+, we are now using our blog as more of a replacement of that platform.

Visit The Laboratory
If you are a high school physics teacher and are interested in a fresh approach to engaging students in laboratory work, check out The Laboratory at The Physics Classroom website. The Laboratory is a collection of nearly 150 lab ideas designed for high school physics classrooms. Designed to be used with lab notebooks and to support inquiry-based learning, The Laboratory was created to serve physics teachers working in the trenches. Each lab idea is accompanied by Purpose, a description, a teacher's guide, a scoring rubric, and downloadable files which can be customized to suit the teacher's style and the course curriculum. The Laboratory represents one more way The Physics Classroom website is serving students, teachers and classrooms.
