Transformations: On the relation between research experiments and teaching demonstrations — •Peter Heering — Europa-Universität Flensburg
Some experiments from the history of physics were so relevant that they were not only included in textbooks, but also found their way into (university) physics education as teaching demonstrations. The instruments developed for this purpose can be found in a number of museum collections, whereby frequently hardly any differentiation is made between teaching devices and research instruments. However, a somewhat closer analysis of the instruments and the practice associated with them makes it clear that significant differences can be found here. In the context of this paper, I am going to discuss some aspects of such demonstration devices that prove relevant precisely in distinguishing them from the corresponding experimental instruments and the practices associated with them.
