Contains plans for two lessons that explain an inductive method for analyzing poetry. Seamus Heaney's "Blackberry Picking" is analyzed using this model as an example, although the method can be used on a variety of poems. In addition to...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Reasoning is a fundamental part of geometric proofs. There are several types of reasoning, many of which we innately and naturally picked up. However, the different...

Using a question and answer format, this page is a response to a question on how to build and use a Wimshurst machine. Directions and suggestions for building such a device are given. The principle of electrostatic induction which...

This site from The Exploratorium Museum is a full description of a short activity. An electrophorus plate and a Leyden jar are made. The electrophorus is charged by induction. Its charge is transferred to the Leyden jar by conduction...

Brief biographical sketch of Michael Faraday, famous scientist whose discoveries include electromagnetic rotation, Benzene, electromagnetic induction, and Laws of Electrolysis.

Joseph Henry was an American scientist who pioneered the construction of strong, practical electromagnets and built one of the first electromagnetic motors. During his experiments with electromagnetism, Henry discovered the property of...

This lesson focuses on using logical appeals in persuasive speeches including inductive and deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning and associative reasoning, forming a rational appeal, and errors in reasoning-formal and informal.

Learners investigate electrostatics with conductors. Some topics explored in the activities are electric shielding, conductors, and charging by induction. The resource consists of video clips, lecture notes, online textbook chapters,...

Brief overview of the definitions of 'inductive' versus 'deductive' reasoning.

This site features the author James Branch Cabell including the full text of 12 short stories including "Auctorial Induction" and "Balthazar's Daughter."

Out of a humble ice pail the great experimentalist Michael Faraday created a device to demonstrate key principles of attraction, repulsion and electrostatic induction. (Java tutorial)

Physicist Felix Bloch developed a non-destructive technique for precisely observing and measuring the magnetic properties of nuclear particles. He called his technique "nuclear induction," but nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) soon became...

Learn how logic and reasoning play a part in everyday thinking, and how deductive and inductive reasoning leads investigators to conclusions.

Although specifically designed for physics students at Caltech, anyone interested in learning more about electricity, magnetism or various other physical phenomena can benefit by exploring these interactive applets. A circuit tutorial...

This is a site which links to specific techniques of proving including conditional statements, proof by contradiction, mathematical induction, parity arguments, and the pigeonhole principle. The site contains a link to various example...

Explore the concept of scientific reasoning, and compare and contrast hypothesis and theories while understanding the difference between deductive and inductive thinking.

Designed to help high school students to learn precalculus, topics include the formal rules of algebra, rational and irrational numbers and mathematical induction.

Explains what an LCR meter is and how it is used to measure the inductance, capacitance, and resistance of a circuit. Lists the different parameters of a circuit that it measures, describes two types of LCR meters, and gives definitions...

This lesson focuses on Euler's Equation. Any (finite) graph can be constructed by starting with one vertex and adding more vertices one by one. We have shown that, whichever way we add new vertices, Euler's equation is valid. Therefore...

Some summary and analysis of William Shakespeare's comedy "The Taming of the Shrew." It discusses a variety of aspects of the play including the induction scenes, courtship, social order, and a similar play called "The Taming of a Shrew."

This page discusses the things involved with the fuel mixing in with air to produce a power output. Also include a picture of the intake system.

Keith Richards and Eric Clapton owe their fame and fortune (in part) to electromagnetic induction. (Java tutorial)

A profile of Michael Faraday, a British scientist who discovered electromagnetic induction, which made it possible to develop the technology for generating electricity. He produced many other inventions, some of which are described here.

Young scholars will investigate the properties of charge, charge by contact, the polarization of charge, and charge by induction. Through the use of demonstrations, students should have a thorough understanding of the movements of...
