Resources

The following resources are used in Lightwave demonstrations and workshops.

 

These are handouts that can be printed out and used in a classroom or at home. They are filled with facts and fun experiments. Many of these are taken from the experiments section of this web site. These handouts offer a hardcopy version of some of the web content so it can be used where acccess to the web isn't possible or practical. They are currently available as pdf files. You'll need a working version of Adobe Acrobat Reader to read them.
