Resources for Purchase or Hire

from the AIP (Vic Branch) Education Committee

For Purchase

Exploring Matter with Synchrotron Light A multi award winning multimedia package produced by ESRF, the European Synchrotron Research Facility. The link is a document that contains a description of the content on the CDROM and an order form. The cost of the CDROM is $40.
The Transistor Amplifier Kit enables students to quickly construct and then easily investigate a transistor circuit. The circuit is simple to assemble with students able to observe the behaviour of the circuit and take measurements within five minutes. A pack of 10 kits costs $45 and a pack of 20 $90. The link is a document describing what is in the kit, how the circuit is used and how to purchase kits. Prac and support notes are also available.

For Hire

Microwave Kit The kit can be hired for a week at a time. The kit can be used for both Unit 1 Light and the Unit 4 Detailed Study "Synchrotron and its applications". The kit enables the wave properties of microwave radiation to be investigated and also enables students to do a formal experiment on Bragg diffraction. The link is to a document that describes the content of the kit and how schools can book a kit. The current availability of the kits is in this Excel file. It is a condition of hiring that nearby schools should be able to ask if they could borrow the kit for a day during the kit's week stay at the host school. The cost of hiring a kit for a week is $50. The cost of couriering the kit to and from the school is covered by the AIP (Vic Branch) Education Committee.
