Hi Paul,
What is your opinion of the floating aluminum coins on the surface of water
as a 2-D model of gravity (coin mass altering local space)?

Eric Don and I are putting together our materials for the models class.
I was planning on doing models of polarized light.
(e.g. the picket fence model of polarizing travelling waves on a cord, and
how in reality for light the pickets of the polarizing material are at
right angles to the direction of polarization.)
And a model for how white light becomes colored when passing through a
sandwich of polarizers and clear tape.
and also models of the atom, the Bohr model and a little of the
Schroedinger model.
Do your students have questions on these models or any others in physics?
For example the model of light as a particle or a wave or both?
