GIREP Seminar
2003
Contents of physics education revolve around Newtonian mechanics and three states of matter, while pupils are eager to use LC displays and mobile phones and understand how they work. Incorporation of new discoveries and technologies makes physics education interesting, useful and subject worth learning.
Liquid crystals are common in every day life, so they should appear in the classroom too. Simple models of liquid crystal devices will be presented.
